Well, actually, I did think about it for a moment I suppose. I had to figure out if I had enough on my debit card so I wouldn't bounce, so therefore I suppose that I did have to consider if I wanted one or not, and the answer was hell yes.

2/10 was the last time that a "regular" Random Crap was offered. However, it was also offered during a WOOT-OFF (2/16) and as the better half of the InFocus 61” DLP Ultra-Thin HDTV with Random Crap (3/6).

Mrs. Cartman: Sure, hon.

I just noticed that no members that joined today got in on the woot.

I was then like, "duh, how could they when the server was so overloaded".

of all the days that I don't check woot right at 10pm.... i miss out on BAG OF CRAP! i was on at 10:04...

I love ordering the woot BOX OF CHEERIOS! It's wooterific!

I missed the Bulgarian Olympic Committee. I see it sold out in 45 minutes. Since sold out so early are you putting anything else out to buy a mouse and keyboard would be nice or hard drive or memory.

We seem to have a difference of opinions here:

It would seem that Myztri's husband and Buck may not see things eye-to-eye.

Actually, it sold out virtually in the first two.

The 45mins was when the last credit card was processed, due to the excess server load.

Got in, got 'em, started reading more. This is some brilliant marketing, man. It's as if everyone in town got excited about the grammar school's Go Fish booth at the fair.

Yup; it's just a lottery, but no one even knows what the top prize is. If people are just going for it for the entertainment value, they would be better off going out to a movie for $8.

You are pretty much guaranteed to get $8 worth. I'm going for it on the entertainment value of waiting for it, which is great suspense. Also, I bought one due to the fact you have no clue whatsoever what you are going to get. It could be a blue, black, and red colored pencils, or a 61 lcd tv. You never know.

Also bought it due to the fact it would inspire me to look at what everone else got once people start receiving them, due to I'd have mine to post and compare as well.

Even the suspense of waiting for it to arrive (probably via fedex), is worth the $8 in my opinion.

Glad I got in for 3 if that is the punishment for failure. : )

If you were, then woot wouldn't be selling it.

AAAahhh! Curses! How could you choose the day when Half Life 2 - Episode One was released. I was banging away with a crowbar when you guys cleaned house. Nooooooo!

DAMNIT, I just started bartending and just got off work. This SUCKS!

Maybe one of these days I too will know what it's like to hit it big and win a bag or three. YeeHaw

HELP ME. I'm going CRAZY. SOMEBODY tell me what the hell they have rec'd in past bag's o'crap??? I am up feeding my 11 week old and my wife and I are desparate to find out what you others have rec'd!
Thanks.

Here are links provided by Uplate from previous Bulgarian Olympic Committee's.

Go to near the end pages, and you'll be able to see what people have received, from stuffed animals, to 61 inch HD televisions.

Regards,

Hmm. I love the new Random Crap Song.

You know if I didnt go out with my friends tonight, I would have been at home at 10pm PST, and seen this...I swear to god its the ONE time I go out and I miss a Bag of Crap...Dammit.

No plural on television; One person claims to gave received a television, many people received stuffed animals. It's a lottery. Typical seems to be

1 same fake leather bag
1 same insanely-huge-buttoned Sony remote
1 bug-shaped flying toy that probably costs 50 cents
1 feminine "pineapple" (for the females among you)

Missing out on that doesn't seem like a big loss to me.

I can say, you haven't lived until you have sent a WD Caviar into orbit with a trebuchet.

Maybe this time I can get one that works

w00t!

Man did I get screwed tonight. I clicked the I want one, verified all my info and then sat there for twenty minutes while it said processing order, and then it told me they were sold out, how is that possible.

The decent thing to do is to let her know. It's also better for you to let her know now than for her to find out later and decide to cut off your nuts because you obviously have no need for them.

That was for that one particular Breakfast of Champions.

Who knows what magical (or crappy, fantabulous, or other) products that may be shipped with this one.

It's worth it.

As I said, it was apparently typical.

Who knows what magical (or crappy, fantabulous, or other) products that may be shipped with this one.

And who knows whether some immensely rich person won't walk up to you on the street and hand you a million dollars. But it isn't likely, and likelihood, not knowledge, is what it's all about. Given that woot is in business to make money, it isn't likely that they will suddenly start giving away mostly "magical" stuff rather than mostly crap. As is often said, lotteries are a tax on the stupid -- those incapable of understanding or analyzing statistical alternatives beyond "who knows".

It's worth it.

People who buy lottery tickets, and the little old ladies who sit in casinos all day long feeding quarters into slot machines, will tell you the same thing.

Everyone happy now?

Oh well...I guess I had enough crap in my life already. Now to face another day as a Breakfast of Championsvirgin!

dang... the one night that i don't check woot at exactly 10pm, it's the bag o crap.

The wootcast was a
S-O-N-G of C-R-A-P.
No Bulgarian Olympic Committee, so sad. Eastcoasters are being descrimintated against.

What is this... a bag of Digital Restriction Management?
No thanks! I'll have none of that!

Maybe the pod people will buy it. They'll buy anything!

Much ado about nothing.

This one pissed me off! I was in on it, and got all the way to the check out. When I clicked on the button to complete my order, it told me they were Sold Out. It was only 12:03!!!

Then Woot puts up in the stats that the last one was at 12:22. What is up with that?

Oh, sure.... 12:30 Eastern time last night I was thinking "wait until 1:00 for Woot, or go to bed? ... I'm soooooo tired, I'm going to bed." So what happens? I miss the Bulgarian Olympic Committee!!!

That does it - I'm moving to 3rd shift. Who needs sunlight if it means missing Bulgarian Olympic Committee?!?

You know that feeling you get when a really hot girl looks at you, and motions for you to come over, and you walk over and realize that she was actually trying to get the attention of some handsome stud behind you?

That's how I feel right now.

5 freaking minutes. It hurts.
