you can trade them for food in the not-so-distant future. 2012. it's coming. remember what happens in 2012. tell your children.

Relax! It sucks being here when the Big o' Cosmos comes and not getting one, but in the end does it really matter? We all got to hang out and wait in anticipation and have fun guessing when it will be. I was here, I got to the order screen, and it froze up, but I'm okay with it. There is always next time. There is more to a woot off than the Big o' Cosmos so lets all relax about the servers and enjoy the other woots. We're lucky woot offers a Big o' Cosmos at all, bad servers or not.

Same here. Happens every time. I give up.

Careful...you're showing your age...LOL

Will someone, anyone explain how to get a Big o' Cosmos. I have had an account since April of 2007 and sat in on just about every woot off. I have never even seen the order screen.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO?!?!?!?!?

Woot = Awesome
Amazon = Loose Butt Hole

I have finally won my first Big Oily Camper...

The server is still hosed... can't even get a smoke alarm... they could be here for quite some time...

My friend Glenn is very upset that he missed out on "his" bag o crap.

I dare not believe

I didn't even sniff it this time, but your pumped-up Data made it ok.

Congrats to those that got a Big o' Cosmos. In addition to that coveted prize you win an original artwork by me. Enjoy.

My three little ones were so happy they were allowed to say crap but now wonder why mom got to push the button on three screens but it never loaded. They saw mommy cry.......

I'm assuming you haven't made a sacrifice to the Woot Gods Pre Woot-Off?

If I buy four of these can they all communicate with each other? or are the two pairs linked and that's all?

This just made my crappy day a lot nicer.

HOWWWWW!?

Yep...finally someone said what some of us are probably thinking. As for me, I didn't even try this time. I've scored around 25 or 26 times, and figured it was time to let some noobs in on the fun. It's up to them to carry on the tradition...I managed to score some pretty sweet purchases since the w00t-off started. Not as sweet as the deals used to be, though.

What a downer after the Big o' Cosmos.

I've been wooting for nearly 4 years, and it's been over 2 since I've made it past the main page... still Big o' Cosmos-less.

Alarm sounds like: Bweee! Bweee! Bweee!

I wish I did I have been trying forever!! WHy don't they offer those more often???

I have. I buy a decent bit of Battlefield Earth (2000) from Woot.

GET BETTER SERVERS!!!

Sorry...my sincerest apologies.



I GOT A BIG OL' COCONUT

NA NA NA NA NA NA

I got there and I was so close it was loading, THEN someone pulled me away to actually work. Welp I missed my chance hope you all enjoy your crap

mxswi55 wrote:yeah woot blows big ol cocks. i have never once been able to get a Big o' Cosmos. im sure its probably better to save the money but the fact that i have tried like 10 times is terrible. I caught this one right as it came up and i still was unable to get it.

Like an Alzheimer's patient I keep finding myself trying to refresh the page with hopes to get in, but it never works. Probably would get stiffed with actual sh*t anyway. I'll stick to newegg.

that all depends on how many gloves you bought.

junk, no Big o' Cosmos and another wootoff killer...looks like I actually have to work now...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.


Off to mow the grass.

I got my first bag. I have no idea how I succeeded whereas others failed. Pure luck would be my guess because god knows it isn't my internet connection.

woot does not hide the fact that what 2500 of us are about to receive is crap. 3 specific crappish items. Items probably not worth the $8 we spent on them.

SO why do people want them so badly?

I got to the big BUY IT button, then it timed out. Absolute bummer.

I can't get to my account, anyone having this problem?

I had the Big o' Cosmos order form load unbeknownst to me while I was distracted by my job...Jatravartid job always ruining everything

That is the challenge and - after 5 years I finally succeeded - it feels good and it wouldn't if it was easy. Besides I got lots of great stuff during that time!

iamjp180 wrote:The anger is funny, there are only 2500 bags, not everyone can have one.

For those who were as concerned as me...the 16 year old did in fact not get her Big Orphaned Cetacea.

I know you people are going to throw things at me for suggesting this, but maybe if people who have GOTTEN one didn't try for another (or were excluded by woot), there might be hope for the rest of us. It's very frustrating to see postings from people bragging about securing their what, 4th Big o' Cosmos, while the rest of us get nothing but a frozen screen EVER EVER EVER

Don't worry, it usually takes 15-20 minutes for "My Account" to work after the Carp
