I wish Woot allowed you to change your name after the fact. I'd go from a cryptic alphanumeric combo to something involving Bacon Salt. And I'd never change it again. But it's not worth creaing a whole new account and starting from scratch.

Really? Still? In that case: LAST!

*giggles*...yeah, i know.

Speaking of shirt.woot, I am guessing that if a shirt doesnt get in the top 3 of the derbys, woot does not print it, right?

I would love to buy

and
http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=19658

but they are not very close to the top at the moment :-\

In general, yes. At the end of the derby (Thursday), the top 4 are identified, but only the top 3 are printed. You don't find out which ones make it until Fri, Sat, and Sun, when the top 3 are for sale in the order of votes. 4th place is out of luck. The only exception is if there's a tie, in which case there will be two shirts for the price of 1 for that day, and then 4 would get printed. Except in one bizarre derby there were two ties, so 5 were printed.

Ironically, the thing you're wanting (a second chance for shirts not in the top 3) is exactly what this particular derby is. Woot chose the best of the non-printed shirts from the last couple dozen derbies or so, and made them available in this derby. So this is the rare instance where the shirts were not new this week.

The two shirts you mentioned don't look like they'll make the cut, and thus will go away and never be printed (unless the artist takes them to another site). It sounds like you would have loved Derby 26 (I think that's the right number) Text As Art, which is where those two originally wer submitted. But alas, it looks like you're going to be out of luck on those two.

I know you can buy previous shirts for like 5$ extra. How do you find out which of the winners for that derby got printed? I cannot find a link to a buy page on any of the top 4

You can only buy them until they're reckoned. The current list is here: http://shirt.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=5406 (but 21 through 28 were gone as of Monday night). There's no official list with links to all that have ever been for sale because the reckoning thread is always for that particular week. However, I know that there are user posts which have all the shirts in them. I think AdderXYU just created a good one recently. but I can't find it now.

I'm signing off for now. I'll see you around. Boy, I'll miss this Bacon Salt...

For $8 I got the feeling of Chirstmas, not knowing what gift I was getting. Inside the heavy mystery box were tons of the same calendar which I turned giving them away into performance art. A weird little clock weather station that I took camping, boating, and left in the car to find out that a sealed tent can get to 120 degrees. A delta first class kit which came in handy when I was kidnaped on a 3 day away trip. And a numbered woot bucket that keeps getting filled with ice, booze, mixers, beer, and shrimp on the weekend.

Mmm bacon salt sounds kinda yummy for my egg mcmuffin

considering that you joined on 6/19/08, and have experienced only 2 woot-offs, I have to take your expert word for it.

Amazingly fitting!

"A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n’ Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes."

See what bacon salt can inspire?

Just like every other one is, to somebody, somewhere.

Just put some original bacon salt on a hamburger a while ago, it was good, and without side effects. The flavor reminds me of mesquite bbq chips, with bacon.

That's about all we can reveal to someone with your security clearance. Anyway, we've gotta go figure out how to clear some space in our warehouse, so we'll let you go. Until next time, dance as if nobody's watching, love as if you've never been hurt, and buy our stuff as if your credit card has no limit.

And this, on the item slightly before 6 ayem:

Yea and I think the first thing I'd want my daughter to learn about the subject is how to DIY.
