How's the Total Gym / Journey to the Piecaken going? (I was re-living the insanity of the last Bag and saw this in the last few pages)

That Piecaken looks AWESOME. I might have to make one of those!

What?

Don't ship my bag now, ship it later pretty please.

I'd like it "well done", with a side of potatoes.

3 craps in one day; those must have been the days (lot's of fiber?)... This brings up the obvious question, "Can you tell us sage old timer, what was it like in Wootland in them thar ol' days of yore?"

I just have to say I really like the way the Bunnies Ogling Carrots is being sold.

Has anyone got any shipping info yet?

Is it me or is it taking longer to ship the Bunnies Ogling Carrots this time around?

...and all at once Fedex gets spammed with track by reference requests.

It is good to see that the troop’s spirits are up. I have enjoyed the correspondence reporting a better experience and a renewed energy in the field. The last deployments and the new battle plan seems to have been received well.

For those troops that procured a ration, the deployment of those started today and that wave should be complete by midday tomorrow. Keep your eyes open for communiques from your information officer about deployment tracking information.

I will address you again at the end of the day tomorrow with updates and, possibly, some dry humor. Until then, clean your keyboards and mice. Well-maintained equipment is the key to a successful Woot Off.

A message from the Colonel!

*reads it hastily *

Sir! Yes, Sir!

Awaiting further intel, Sir!

*salutes*

Ah yes. The Battle of Ought 5. The Woot servers kept going down during the Crap-a-thon. I was up until nearly 2am. It shows 3 but I only got one.
The thing I remember most about the early days was that Bunnies Ogling Carrots could show up at any time. You had to check every night at midnight just to make sure. Sure I get more sleep now, but I kind of miss the randomness.

Colonel, sir! In my last requisition I requested a letter and better crap. How are we to succeed in our efforts when you send us things like a helicopter without its controller? The damn thing just falls to the ground when I let it go! The other side just laughs and questions again my involvement in this organization (she did like the silverware you requisitioned in a previous forray) I appreciate your situation in that you have to make a little go a long way, but you have to put yourself in your troops' shoes! Respectfully, PFC EFProf

My Daddy gave told me once that he was lucky that he had a job he loved. He knew what he wanted to do from the time he was working as a soda jerk in a pharmacy. He was a pharmacist until the day he died and loved it.

That stuck with me and I've tried to make sure that I found careers and jobs that I could enjoy. Part of it comes from within - attitude, drive, etc. The other comes from the mutual respect and appreciation of the company, your boss, and coworkers. I've been exceedingly blessed that almost most of my bosses have given me opportunity to grow and try new things.

Ohhhh, I feel preachy.

I completely agree, it's just been that there's been a lot of my life that I haven't been able to be very picky about what work I do. However, I'm certainly enjoying being a chemist nowadays. It's challenging, but mentally, rather than physically. My health isn't so great, and my wife's is worse, so stress is a bad thing.

Though, I wish there was a market for bicycle messengers in Dallas. I could totally ride all day... Low impact exercise is awesome, and doesn't hurt. I currently ride somewhere in the range of 10-12 miles a day, and wish I had time to do more. :3

Expect a bag of messed-up packing staples, a used tape measure, three Bratz! pencil toppers, and a floral fanny-pack.

Could I increase the seconds to decrease that pats? Say 16 seconds and 3-long pats?

Thank you for the update, Colonel! We anxiously await weight information and will eagerly track the progress of our rations as they traverse the continent. Standing by for further orders, SIR!

If it came with a letter and a helicopter controller, I would be vindicated... but you are probably correct. Ye must always remember the commandments of crap (particularly, # IV) -- crap, she is crap, expect nothing less and whine ye not (New English with Message version).

Glad to here that shipping is in progress. My
Swann Action Cam w/ Waterproof Case, which I ordered the day AFTER the WOOT off has already arrived.

Actually, the Action Cam, which appears to have shipped USPS all the way, has also gotten here before my monkeys & Drill drivers, which are coming SMARTPOST, thus proving that pure snail mail is FASTER than SLOWPOST.

By the way, has anyone else noticed that Amazon is shipping via SMARTPOST some now? They used to bring us goodies exclusively via UPS here in good ole Alabamie. Including the memorable time my husband paid extra for 1 or 2 day delivery & the book he needed was delivered to "the office on the second floor". We were quite indignant, since the address was our *house*. The book finally showed up 10 days after it was ordered. And Amazon refunded the shipping charges.

No, NO it's :
--crap. he is crap ...

Don't be a piglet! Last time I looked, "he" still meant anyone but "she" is gender specific.

I know, I'm whining, but NOT about the crap.

We love you Colonel Crap

683516 is my number.



Kinda looks like ruddy poop.

Now I am going to have that song stuck in my head.

I think I just wet on my computer..

joshobra made a mistake when he wrote:

fixed ;)

How about a Golden Brown Crap Ticket in a few Bunnies Ogling Carrots#39;s with a coupon code / special link on it sending you to a super special golden brown crap offering.

I have a tracking number!! Woot!!!!111!!!

I used my order number as reference. It's being shipped via FedEx Home Delivery and is scheduled to my home here in NW Oregon for May 8th.

It's at the standard 1lb placeholder weight, which never changes for me on bags of crap.

Thanks, Woot!

I wonder how many hits on the Fedex site that post will generate tomorrow. I'm in for at least 10
