finally got my first Bucket Of Constipation :D

after well over $8 of excitement and anticipation the mailman walked up and uncerimoniously dumped the box on my front porch. unperturbed, i barely contain my excitement and wait till he is well out of site, yank open the door and rush out to grab the box. i run inside with it and open it up, savoring the experience. contained therein:

19x bags of texan halitosis
10x nike ipod nano (gen 1 or 2) armbands (all red and black)
1x obligatory targus memory card case
1x nifty little tootsie pop charm (grape flavor)
1x belkin universal power supply, non-respiffed, model #F5L005

overall very happy with my first time :D

Bridge over Cow x1

27 bags of woot-gas
1x Memory card case
1x Respiffified TravelMate AC/DC Converter

got the same carp. Was only able to buy one.
1x target memory bag
1x power converter, So i can convert my perfectly normal household power to be used from a cigarette lighter. Yay i can use my car chargers in my house as opposed to my house chargers!

I saw the mail carrier pull up then someone knocked on the door you can imagine my excitement as I opened the door I looked at her looked at the ground I looked all around. hmm.......where's my Blogging Old CEO i wonder. Then she hands me an envelope and says I have a certified letter......oh well as my excitement fades I have to remember the delivery date isn't until tomorrow so I shall wait until then. so sad

I have still yet to receive my Bunch Of Caterpillars and I only live 30 miles from Woot HQ. I went to the post office today and apparently they can't find my package. They said to ask my carrier today if he has seen it...if he hasn't then I'll have to file a claim...a claim for what? I am extremely frustrated at this point!

Just got the call that the box arrived at home. Now I'm stuck between going to BrewFest or driving 20 miles out of the way and getting my Blogging Old CEO. A test between Beer and carp... why do this to me woot? why??!?

20 miles out of the way x 2 ( to get back)= 40 miles
40 miles @ 20 mpg x $4.50 gallon = $9.00
$9.00 + $8.00 carp = $17.00 b o c

Your choice, but I'd head to the Brewfest!

Th0r wrote:I got my B;O;C yesterday. I was not a winner.

1 box of 10 arm bands for ipod nano.
1 tootsie pop thing.
1 memory card case.
1 coffee maker that plugs in to a car lighter socket. The thing is a table model and will not fit a car. I think you need a motor home, but those have 120V generators, so you could use a normal coffee maker. And no one in my house drinks coffee. Maybe I could drive with it between my legs making coffee. After I burn my junk, I could then sue woot for more b;o;c! llo

So, nothing I can use. But it was fun opening the stuff.

I got the IDENTICAL Blogging Old CEO - good thing I like Coffee...llo - was fun waiting for it though

Got my Blogging Old CEO! Contents:
- the little porcelain birdy thing (white-breasted nuthatch)
- the memory card case
- the xbox headset (i don't have an xbox....)
- oregon scientific 2.4 GHz digital expandable cordless phone with integrated weather station - costs $73 on froogle (oh! that's pretty nifty. except i don't have a landline phone service in my apartment. >_< maybe i'll use it as a weather clock?)
- plastic bag
- 25 lovely bags of fresh texas air (3 deflated)

Here it is:


pretty happy

.... wait, can i use the headset with the phone? they both say 2.4 GHz? anyone know?

Got mine a day early
for my 1 (one) carp
1x targus bag
1x travel cooler/warmer
Thanx WOOT! for my crappy

Erm, since you repair them at work, you sure it wasn't just Philips sending you TVs to respiffied? ;)

(just kidding-unless you don't post pictures.)

Sorry. We need to see the TVs. And the boxes. 13 of 'em.

Thank you for calling!

The pics are there. The link goes to the last one but there is a pic of the boxes, wrapped skid and a couple of the TV's.

Pretty rad for a B|O|C, I must say!!! Congrats on your haul.

I'm still waiting on my Blogging Old CEO, but hopefully it will be here tomorrow, if not then surely by Monday. I will post pics even if it's only run of the mill carp.

Cynic ! But really, TVs that need refurbing going to someone who refurbs them, can you say "Big Brother is watching" ?

gslander wrote:how about the fedex info?

I wouldn't post that info, it has your purchase order and such

kerneltrap wrote:I wouldn't post that info, it has your purchase order and such

This was my first carp.

-Targus memory card case
-Porcelain Shotgun Shell - W T F is this thing?
-12V Coffee Maker - Will come in handy while camping.
-20GB Creative Zen Sleek Photo! Complete with manuals, cables, and headphones, all new. It might be a referb but nothing signifies it an I can't tell. The thing works great!

Overall, VERY happy with my first Bag. Thanks WOOT!

Mine was identical, except for a Sprite trinket instead of Tootsie. I agree that the coffeemaker is worthless, unless I were to camp without a camp stove/coffee pot (or a 120v source). Who would take a glass carafe camping, though? The good news is my kids got a kick out of the bags of air. And the sprite trinket.

Wooters is just good folks!!
There I sat, Satellite receiver just cooked by a lightning strike, HDTV still safe with no input and I receive a DVD recorder with a digital tuner. Whoppie, but then I notice no screws in the cover and a broken warrantee seal and I'm suspect. Figured I got just what WOOT advertised. When I looked and found no hard drive I guessed the operating system would have been on said missing hard drive and this seemed confirmed by the constant HELLO on the display, no matter what buttons were pressed. It was out of curiousity I went to the community to see if I was just lucky or if this was a common situation and low and behold I find it was not only common but there was a solution posted to turn what was a potential spare DVD Burner into a functional Recorder/Tuner. Thanks to WOOT for all our sleepless nights and to the Wooters that turn Boxes of Charcoal into Diamonds. (what really hurt though was that WOOT included Warranty information for the Poloroid with the documentation. OUCH!)

Postman finally delivered my Banjo of Consternation.

1x Tootsie Roll Pop Thing
10 x Nike iPod nano armbands
1 x Targus memory card case

and one real treat. A printer cartridge for Xerox Phaser 7700. Did anyone else get one of these? How can you tell what color toner comes out without opening it.

Traveling a billion miles for a total displacement of around 25 feet? Smartpost? SMARTpost?????

Here's the route my package took:

They send the package 1200 miles and I only live ~350 miles from where it shipped. Packages I've received through regular FedEX usually go to Jackson, MS or Memphis, TN, depending on the direction they come from, why smartpost sends them an extra 425 miles to Atlanta, GA to be sorted makes no since.

I'm hoping carp will seem funnier hungover too cuz there's no way i'm making it home tonight after brewfest. which was absolutely the right decision...
