He was a very odd fellow.

Probably me and my father...some sort of Electra Complex

I say "real" because several years ago, on my 12340823490898th attempt, by a miracle, I got through the server. In my excitement, I clicked "buy" without realizing that I only did 1 Bag (this was before they auto purchased 3 for you).

In 6 years, I got through ONCE, and screwed up. So you can imagine how GAWDDAYUMEXCITED I am to finally get my FIRST REAL BAAAAAAAG OOOOOOOOOO CRAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP in 6 years.

Also makes me cry when I read about people wooting for less then a year and have already been able to buy 4-5. =\

So, the fact that 3% of the buyers were first-time wooters probably doesn't help your mood any either?

Glad you got through this time!

Here's an interesting question, what would a Woot Superbowl commercial look like?

[music begins as the imagination bubble above my head opens]

Mortimer: Hey Monte, you watching the Superbowl this weekend?
Monte: No, man, you know we need to package crap all weekend.
Mortimer: Crap, you mean the Bag of C*r*ap, the Big ol' Chiwawa, the Big Orphaned Cetacea, the Bundle of Coats, etc. etc.?
Monte: Yes, the random crap we send to our most luckiest customers.
Mortimer: Why do we send them c*rap anyways?
Monte: Well, because they like it.
Mortimer: Wait, our customer's like c*rap?
Monte: Yes, when it comes in a bag of c*rap.
Mortimer: Why do we send them crap in a bag?
Monte: Well, we don't really send them a bag.
Mortimer: So, you mean it's just c*rap?
Monte: Well, no, it's not really c*rap.
Mortimer: So, we call it a bag of c*rap but it doesn't come in a bag and it doesn't contain crap?!
Monte: Yes, you know, we would get in trouble if we really sent people real, you know, c*rap.
Mortimer: So, I am confused, what do we send them?
Monte: you know, all that stuff we have lying around here that no one else wants.
Mortimer: you mean, like an anvil, pallets of car wash, and lot's of our colleagues (i.e., monkeys)?
Monte: that's it, you got it. That's the way we run our business and our customers love us for it.
Mortimer: what kind of customers are these people we send this c*rap to?
[CUT]
Monte: Hey, Matt [Rutledge], this isn't going to work! Amazon will fire all of us if we air this. I have an idea, maybe a better commercial would be if we had this guy sitting in a car and two cars driven by flying monkeys pull up on either side and smash in his door...

Thanks! Seems like a perfect story line for the next Wootcast... hint hint...

The rep on Twitter said, they should have tracking by the end of the day for everyone. So I'm guessing tomorrow the e-mails will start flowing.

Perhaps he's on sabbatical? Teaching the natives in the Brazilian rain forest the fine techniques of crapalizing? In Vegas working with the Pawn Stars?

We can only hope he comes home and dispenses his wisdom to us lowly wooters...

I'll try to get him in to rate mine, but he tends to get bitter when he isn't getting one of his own. He thinks Woot has a tracking device plugged into his truck so they only put the Big o' Cosmos up when he's already left work!

If he rates mine, maybe he'll rate a few others as well?

nah, that 3% were probably extra bot accounts under one guy...

Right about now I would love to be In Green Bay for the festivities.

I would too they are putting it on TV on the local channels here, but I'm at work so that does me no good.

On a different note, I wonder if we are going to get Bags of Snow in our Bags of Crap. Try to box up as much of it as possible and ship it elsewhere!

i just got my crow watch (bought on 1/31) tracking today, so getting my Big o' Cosmos (bought on 1/25) would be amazing... usually i would have been a bit more upset with the lack of updates, but i feel if im lax about it ill get a letter in the box too, hahahaha!

the Big o' Cosmos was my 2nd purchase ever from woot, and i will woot forever now!
