My boyfriend thinks I am certain lunatic now after revealing the crappy contents of my Bowl of Cat-Roca. I have had ants in my pants for over a week waiting for it to arrive, made him sit down at our kitchen table and do a drum roll with his fingers while I opened the box. He just looked at me after the contents were displayed and walked out of the room....I think I am in trouble.

I MMSd the gf while she was at work of all the progress pics.

Her response?

"You need help".

oh, i've gotten that respond too. many times. from many people. :-\

You just gotta love all these folks complaining that they got crap in their Book of Crap. They complain if they don't "win" the Book of Crap, then complain about it being crap when they do get it!

Perhaps he is mad because I pulled him out of a WOW raid to "witness" the glory of my first Bowl of Cereal? Dang, I am going to have to make up for this one!

Yeah, some people are REALLY interested, others just think I'm joyous.

Or stupid.

Woot is like the best kind of communicable disease. It brings people so much joy! It brings those who are 'observers' stress and grievance, and we are all magically searching for the 'cure' also known as the illustrious 'Book of Crap'. I am proud to be infected with the woot! bug, and try to share those 'germs' with as many people as possible.

(I think I am delirious from all the jealousy of reading everyone else's joy from their boxes, when mine still eludes me.)

Jimp, 2 weeks away, do you think the Woot Gods will smile on you and grant your wish with their unmeasured benevolence?

Woot,

A truly awesome birthday present to me would be helping me change my username to "jimp" (May 25th... ;)

I have a feeling he won't think I'm so crazy once I bestow upon him the awesome Camel Back's I snagged during the HH woot!....I believe I will gain his respect again, or he won't get one! Ha!

Same here if I ever get one of the wine cooling racks.

I'm not sure if this is the rule but my sole quality post is one that made it to the front item page in the grey discussion box to the right of the item. I am especially proud since it was during the recent Adventure Woot-off.

You know what, you just gotta have the right attitude.. I think that's what should come with purchasing something referred to by the name of this Bowl of Cereal.

You set your expectations too high, then you get disappointed.

As they say "it's not about winning or losing, it's how you play the game!"

My make-up additional Barrel of Chimps just arrived:

1 x My Style Disney headphones (NEW)
1 x Queen-size Egyptian Cotton sheet set (NEW)
Dimensions of second box: 14" x 10" x 8" Weight: 3 lbs
-----------------------------
Original Shipment:

1 x Winnie the Pooh Talking Educational Toothbrush Holder
15 x Bags of Texas air (not counted as an "item")

Agreed, but there's nothing wrong with abiding by the rules.

Yes....now that would have been a nice Crappy to receive! Someone posted that they got one in their Bowl of Cereal. They must have made a secret sacrifice to the Woot! Gods for that Bowl of Cereal lovliness. teehee

Ok, so I have been remiss and missed like 12 pages between my posts. It's been hectic around here lately.

However, I have to post my prodigal crap update. In my original post, I mentioned how I received my Pinnacle T-Shirt (now clean, yet to be worn), my collapsed picinic basket (has been uncollapsed and recollapsed but has yet to be used to tease Yogi), and my camera bag (still on the stock card). However, one of my craps had been lead astray (the glitz and glamor of Carrolton is hard to resist). I informed authoritied to be on the look-out for my missing crap.

Today, gloriously, my woe-begotten crap has been returned (well, turned) and with great joy, I inform you, the semi-interested, in what it was.

Contents of second package with my missing woot....errr loot: a Twin sheet set in milk-chocolate brown made from 1,000 thread count Egyptian cotton. Were I to have a bed of the appropriate size, those sheets would be washing right this second. Alas, the smallest size bed in my house is a full (sleeper sofa). So, these sheets will remain in their packaging for a while longer.

I took pics, but I won't be able to upload until much later tonight.

P.S. Hi guys! I'm going to miss when this thread winds down because some of you are great (you know who you are)! It got to the point where I was checking this thread more than Facebook. :D

I wasn't sure if they could see previews...

I'll try it.

LOL

Type the synonym for "same"...made me laugh.

I sent the email on Friday and my delivery just arrived via Fed Ex!

I'm pleased as punch!

Did you get shipping info?

The Woot Gods have been so busy putting together and sending the make up crap for this group they haven't had time to assemble the crap for the 5/6 group!
We poor orphans still sit and wait.

r3drobin1 wrote:Whoa! Sheets? Score...

I know, right!

MBrulla wrote:Did you get shipping info?

Not at all. All I received was the first email acknowledging my query and then today I received the package.

I tried to enter in information on myfedex, but it never did show anything coming my way. I have to admit, it was pretty cool to get the package without knowing when to expect it. I would have figured later this week at the earliest!

And then there are some of us who still sit and wait for the original package of this batch to be coming to us, unlike those who not only have OG crap, but make-up crap too.

But, for those of you that scored some good make-up crap, CONGRATS!

Wow. If I get some in my replacement for shortage, I will stitch the words "woot! ROCKS" on them and roll around neeked with joy that I was bestowed such a treasure (nothing better to gain a girl's heart that high thread count sheets!!!). Here's hoping...

Disappointed. I was willing to accept that the 4/1 Adventure crap was crap (1 woot lights, 1 slinky, 1 mini tripod, 1 adventerous girls handbook) but was hoping for a better Bowl of Cereal this time around. Alas i opened my box of crud and found

2 baby blankets
1 slinky jr.
1 mini tripod.

Hopefully for all of your loyal patience, you will be the lucky receiver of the ultimate prize....The Letter! Hmm?

Shhhhhhhh! You shouldn't give away secrets like that!
Let the guys continue to think diamonds are a girls best friend.

Yessss.....you are right. What was I thinking??? Ahem! What I meant to say was "high CARET count-Diamond-laden sheets". Those darn filters must have took out the Diamond part of my post. ;)

I'd probably rather pay for diamonds than 1000 thread count sheets.

I literally laughed out loud.

grapefruit is pretty funny too, but not really anything to do with it. melon is kind of...mneh.

I hope I don't get in trouble for posting those words.

r3drobin1 wrote:Oh....I don't know. 1000 count sheets are a pretty spectacular thing. Like whipped cream they are!

Guys don't notice these things. We're too preoccupied with the silky smooth lady next to us, which in comparison makes the sheets feel like sandpaper.

well.. I got my crud..

A picnic basket
A tiny camera bag
A nylon pinnacle studios backpak..

3 bags... no crap (except the bags are all crap)..

Pinnacle T-shirt - XL
American Tourister camera bag
Excalibur laptop bag
Neat-Oh Picnic basket
yellow replacement vacuum brush

Fedex weight - 4.1 pounds

Only 1 completely useless item in the bunch - I feel like the woot staff is slacking, but to my benefit.

Best of all, I received 'the package' the same day as the long-awaited new Clutch DVD. .

Thanks Woot gods.

The email:

Dear Gods of the Woot,

First off, thank you again for allowing me entry into the world that is Random Crap. The forum itself is worth the $8.

It is with deep regret and humility that I must inform you that my Crap contained the following:

1x Disney My Style Earbuds (daughter will love them)
1x Mini Tripod (to go with the 4 I got last time...very popular with family/friends)
1x Fleece Baby Blanket (baptism to go to next weekend)
1x Christmas Cards (to go with the 5 I got last time...we need to talk about this one...are you hinting at something?)
1x Tissue Paper (for the tears you bring to my eyes)

As per the commandments I did not receive any bag of any kind (however, the tissue paper was very thoughtful). I beg of thee to rectify this wrong and restore my faith in all things woot (not that I lost any in the first place!).

All fancy talk aside, you guys rock.

thank you in advance,

MBrulla

I must have gotten your bag.. in fact, thats all I got was three bags.. no krapp

Ha! True, true....unless your lady friend has not shaven her legs. The poor sheet fibers then get all ruffed up! Though I'm not sayin that I have that issue with my legs...just saying.

With 1000 count sheets, even my boyfriend notices...I can't even say the same when I get my hair done!

Whipped cream I tell you....silken whipped cream

I like the t-shirt material sheets. But I may be a simpleton.
