thanks WOOT!!!!

Grrr . . . the post office has been "notified" of my Baggie of Cthulhu. That's at LEAST another few days.

6 - Jumble 2010 calendars
1 - Diamond TV Wonder 600 PCIe (no instructions or CD)
1 - Leopard-print Screaming Monkey (working LOUDLY!)
1 - aluminum coffee thermos (BAD written on the box - and I agree, lid and pouring spout doesn't fit together right)
1 - Xlogic VD628 Camera Tripod
1 - Cobra XRS 9840 Refurbished (works!!)
2 - random and empty jewel cases
3 - Gold's Gym bags

All in all an utterly fantastic 1st Box of Carrots!!

weight & dimensions:
14.7 lbs / 6.7 kgs
24.7 in. x 13 in. x 12.5 in.

I was happy to see the tripod at first, but with the TV tuner card, and radar detector, that's just spectacular.

Finally got my Baggie of Cthulhu! In a branded Woot box, none the less. And my monkey still had the pull tab!
3 Golds Gym Bags
3 Brain Game Calenders
1 Kids Size 4 "Solid Gelt" T shirt
1 Leopard Print Monkey

12.2 pounds of crap on my doorstep. They must've had to pinch this one off quick...

Standard Fecal matter:

6x 2010 Jumble Desk Calendar
1x Knife To See You kids size 10
3x Gold’s Gym Fitness bags
1x Screaming Monkey (we are going to call the print "Jaguar" to honor the local NFL Team)

and the Corn:

1x MST3K Volume XIV (opened and missing a disk "103- Mad Monster")
1x AirDrives FIT Stereo Earphones (Used/Pre-waxed)
1x Philips PVD900 (Smashed box item: missing AC/DC cord, Remote and Antenna)

My severe constipation has ended...last score was April fools 07. This sorta counts as a win.

I'm a very happy camper.

1 Leopard Print Cape Simian
1 Kids Shirt Sz 12 'A is for Atlas'
1 Save A Blade Automatic Razor Sharpener (AS SEEN ON TEEVEE!)

Mine is also sitting next to yours in Sacto awaiting its ride to San Francisco. It arrived there at 1 AM yesterday. I wonder if there's any chance it could be here today.

I'm an inattentive armadillo. My Leopard Print Woot Monkey DOES in fact work...I just missed the "pull me" tab. Doh!

edit: oh god I do love me some word filters

My poor bag is lost somewhere. The post office claims to have delivered it on Saturday to my office, which was closed of course. They're investigating now and will get back to me within two business days. *grumblemutter*

Mine said delivered too. And when the mailman got here he was about to drive off thinking he delivered all the mail. I asked him to look and sure enough it was sitting in the back of his mail truck. That's probably what happened to yours.

you are right. I'm dumb and probably would be buttafuocoing my class. :-)

My 8.5lb crap came in a day early

6 2010 Calendar Games (Music edition)
3 Gold's Gym Fitness Totes
1 Screaming Monkey
1 Kids Size 4T
1 Wine carrier bag
1 Woot monkey (leopard print cape)

arnott wrote:Shouldn't it be :

LOL I didn't even catch that. With his user 777 would own it. With your User/Group/World can do whatever with it.


(Mine I was removing write access from group and world.)

I did it! I managed to stay away from the forums long enough for my Bird Over Capistrano to arrive! It was a straight up 11 pounder.

Here's the rundown:

6 2010 Jumble calendars

1 kids "carnivorous rabbit" t-shirt

1 Seagate FreeAgent DockStar network adapter

1 Intelli Ufo remote controlled cat terrorizing mechanism

1 Ati Tv Wonder card with 3 installation CDs

3 Golds Gym Fitness Totes And.....

1 Superfly Monkey with a Leopard Skin cape.

Thanks Woot! I love all my crap.

I do have a humble request to the Woot Gods, however. Is there any way you guys could start shipping BOCs in plain boxes? Mine arrive in wicked rough shape. Like someone else's package was within my package kinda shape. I actually received a package meant for someone else in my town INSIDE my Random Crap. Heck, here's a very short video showing the condition of the box.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eRNcantazk

I love my crap & am not complaining, but I'll never know if some knucklehead made off with a GPS or digital camera or something that was meant for me.

Thanks again, Woot!

Got crap a day early.

10.7 lbs 15.3cubed

6x Calendars
1x Kids shirt (Zebra Head w/feathers)
2x Screaming Monkeys (Leopard)
3x Gold's Gym bags

1x Book Cover with light in the spine
1x 1gb SD Card from "Limited Too"

Not bad at all for my second Baggie of Cthulhu in a row.

Thanks WOOT!!

I think that if Woot had to engineer better packaging design for BoC's, then most BoCs would have to be be much less unique...would kind of ruin some of the fun of it. BoC is all about the fun of surprise and serendipity, for better or for worse!

12lbs

Lucky 13x Bags O' Texas Air
6x Jumble Calendars
1x Screaming Monkey (leopardskin)
1x kids size 12 12 days o' Xmas shirt ("Aw, And I Didn’t Get You Anything")

Oh, I fully agree about the fun & surprise element and the serendipity, but if the boxes were just plain, perhaps they would arrive intact more reliably. Just a thought, I'm not crying over spilled crap.

Ain't life wunnerful? Think of all the uncountable children around the world who would love to be able to click the "I want one" button, but have not been as fortunate as you are.

"Love the crap you get"

Anyone want to sell me their tv tuner card (the pci express one)? I was hoping to get one in my bag but alas I got the standard calenders, kid shirt (size 4), tote bags and monkey. I am willing to trade.

My bag of chips arrived! It was all that!

1 kid woot t-shirt that will fit my 5 year old 3 golds gym totes
1 leopard print caped woot monkey.

There's a fine line between love and hate.

Picked mine up from the post office today. Similar haul to everyone else.

8.7 lbs
24x12x12

6x Jumble 2010 Calendar
3x Gold's Gym Totes
1x Blue Camo Flying Woot Monkey
1x Size K8 Cupcakeosaurus Shirt
1x Groovy interlocking plate and bowl set

Turns out I really like the shirt. Makes me wish either 1) I was 8 years old or 2) I had bought one before it was reckoned. The monkey is otterific. I've been a wooter for 3+ years and this is my first woot monkey, so I view it as a rite of passage. I'll probably use the totes at some point and the calendars will get passed off to people who like newspaper puzzles. I'm not quite sure what to do with the plate set thing. Looks like it would be good for a single helping of veggies and dip or something like that.

Overall probably the most useful Bobcat On Campus I've gotten so far. Looking forward to number 5 at some point.

It's here! It's here! But....

I saw it had been delivered to the P.O., but I couldn't stand the thought of my poor baggie sitting all night in a warehouse again. I took off and asked the clerk if I could have my box. Nice thing about small towns, the clerk was a friend of mine, so he was able to scan it without having to sort. End result, my crap is now mine.

And the contents of my 30 lb box of manure?

1 x Ab Circle (refurb)
0 x TX air
0 x monkeys, flying or otherwise
0 x bags
0 x calendars

On one hand, I'm delighted! I need a workout machine to help the middle aged spread. Not to mention it retails for $200 new. On the other hand, though, I thought there would be more crap. I am, in a word, confused.

Woot gods, please send me a sign.

Here's what was in my 12.4 pounder:

3 gold's gym totes
6 jumble calendars
1 screeching/skyrocketing monkey
1 blue kids size 8 shirt with Nessie
1 VuPoint magic wand scanner (refurb)
1 Panasonic Link-to-cell bluetooth convergence solution with 2 handsets (opened box)

I haven't tested either of the last 2 yet, but the monkey does fly and screech (it was smaller than I expected). Might try to sell the last one if it works.

All in all, a good haul.

Depending on how adventurous you're feeling, if you send woot an email they'll stick by their "three things and a bag" philosophy and send you ANOTHER Basket of Carburetors. Do so at your own risk, though . . . Cthulhu only knows what's still lying around . . .

Got my Box of Calendars on lunch.



Woot branded Box Contained:

11x Bags of Amazonian Air
6x 365 page Jumble puzzle books with calendars printed on them.

1x Science Childs size 10 shirt

The Pokemon Puzzles will probably be getting donated at Christmas time to some toys for tots program, and the calendars will be getting handed out to whoever we know that wants one.

The Monkey is obviously priceless.

All in all a good 2nd Be Oh Sea, thanks Woot!
