First off - messyt:
A quality opening of your Burgandy Olfactory Center sir
and a must watch. "applause,applause"

Second:
I received first Burgandy Olfactory Center ever today "Santa's sack". It's weight was 5.6 pounds.
It was supposed to be here on the 7th, but it arrived early.
1 wash cloth
1 Orange flowered reusable bag
1 Diva facial mitt
5 deflated bags of Texas air
1 Foot Flush
and
5 large size plain tee-shirts
brown, orange, pink, dark and light blue.

"Thou shall not complain about your Bag of Coal.....Woot."

My 3.2 lb SSOC arrived yesterday but couldn't get it until today. The box was 14 x 10 x 8.

1 red duffel bag
1 XL brown T-Shirt
1 table top tripod
2 very frilly towels
1 Bowflex Precision Trainer XT
5 Bags of Texas Air

I'm sure nobody cares, but maybe woot! SHOULD: I'm not staying up till 1AM on 4/1 or 12/24 or their birthday for this garbage... I just can't get excited about 'lucking out' and getting a bag. Whether it's the fault of Amazon or a weakening economy, woot! is alienating their loyal fan base. they spent several years developing their model, only to break it and become Midnight box or Yugster.

The last few Burgandy Olfactory Center#39;s that I won ended up going to Toys For Tots, and even then I felt guilty, wondering if I was donating some lead laden junk that could potentially harm these kids.. Maybe they'd be better off eating paint chips?

woot!, you really need to heed what's going on in these forums... We want things like Candi The Pole Dancer again... We want the TRUE randomness of the bags of crap... The most random thing I have seen so far in this forum was a box of paper clips...

No, Mikebass, you're not missing the dream... You're dreaming of the past...

BRING BACK THREEPIECEWOOT

Thanks Woot!!! See you next time!

I got the same except for diff color shirts and a white cloth instead of black. Worth it!

Got mine today. 2.3 lbs.

phillips pro HDMI Cable.
Halo Sleepsack
Crappy cloth
and red bag.


At least the halo sleepsack is an original item. Can't complain, 20 bucks on amazon, and lots of babies being born these days.

x1 Imfamous foot flush
x5 awkwardly colored tees (teal, ivory, brown, blue and red)
x1 wonderfully stitched washcloth
x1 green bag with grapes on it
x1 6 pack of gummy shot glasses (haven't seen anyone with that yet)


All and all not bad, i just can't get enough of the anticipation of Burgandy Olfactory Center coming. Good luck to all

Santa gave me the same crap as this. LOVING the random gummi shot glasses. I'll be using these to celebrate Woot and their crap.

Found the gummi shot glasses here - for $12.99. Those alone covered the cost of my crap sack and definitely fit my random item quota.

Thanks Woot!!

...and your baby shall be called "Master Chief" (cue Epic Music)

Mom got her bag today (I had it shipped to her address as a Christmas Present).

She says she got:

* One Thermos brand water bottle (she'll use it),

* One thing she said was a white head band like what women used in old movies to tie their hair back while doing laundry,

* One finger towel in shades of brown (she said it was pretty, Mom likes browns),

* One black mini (but still good sized) duffel bag,

* And one thing which took some figuring out, but appears to be a projection screen for a mini projector (brand: Optima).

leaving??

Mine showed up a day early.

Most of the usual stuff with one exception so far since I haven't seen anyone else post about one yet...

1 sena zipbook ipad case - http://www.amazon.com/Sena-ZipBook-Leather-Case-Black/dp/B003LFCK8Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325812926&sr=8-1
2 diva darling headbands...wife is wearing one now lol
1 fancy washcloth with the letter "C" embroidered on it
1 pack of fun "task clips" with words like "crap" one them.
1 yellow flower bag

My Bag of Coal was originally due on 1/6, then after the extended fedex holiday break it was bumped to 1/7, but checking my tracking while I was out to work showed it was out for delivery today (1/5). Gotta love Smartpost

The mystery of my extra weight (mine weighed 6.9lbs) was revealed minutes ago. I was hoping for something non-generic and I sorta got that. I got the same stuff others were getting, just in a different combo. I was convinced I was getting a foot flush

1. Ugly Green Flower bag. My city recently went "green" and you have to bring your bags to the grocery store. Now just to decide if it's worth bringing this hideous monstrosity of a bag or paying the 10 cents for a paper bag

2. Blue Dish Cloth

3. 5 XL Shirts. Will go to goodwill as I am a Small/Medium. I'll donate them for next years tax write off.

4. 6 pack of Gummy Shot Glasses (I like these).

5. 1 pop-up Sprinkler. Will work wonder in my Condo

matkapnyc wrote:Mine made it to NYC this morning after 6 days of radio silence after leaving Kansas City. The original delivery date was supposed to be tomorrow, but it got pushed off to Monday.

USPS says that it went "out for delivery" this morning, but for my past couple of bags, that means that it will actually get delivered to my offices sometime late next week.

Go fig.

Hey, could be worse. Mine was in the same shipment (left KC on 12/30 - arrived edison just after 12am on 1/5) and it's still showing in Edison NJ for some reason, my info hasn't even been submitted to the post office in Brooklyn yet.

Allen7155 wrote:Threepiecewoot leaving has made crap of bag generic and borringgg

Its been boring and generic for quite a while, but TPW leaving just finished it off IMO.

Got mine and I have to say, flushing a toilet without your hands does make you better then everyone else.

5 tshirts of various colors (three are 50% poly which I can't wear, two are going in the rotation)
1 fun foot flush (I am better the you)
1 wash cloth (wife said it was ugly so I called her ugly)
1 micro fiber face scrubber (told my wife to use it to scrub the ugly off)
1 flower bag (wife said it was awesome and she wanted to use it, I said okay)

*not pulled out in this order

First Bag of Coal here. 1.8lbs



1 x Orange bag with a flower
1 x Box of binder clips that say 'CRAP' on them in various languages (caca, merde, etc) These are awesome.
1 x Dishtowel with the letter 'J'
1 x Diva Darling Headband
2 x LEAKFROGS!
0 x Bags of Texas air
100% crappy

I hope to get more leakfrogs! My 1.8 lbs of crap will arrive tomorrow. Those little green buggers have saved my laundry room from flooding a couple of times now.

1x Orange Bag with Flower
1x Fancy Green Washcloth with Funky Smell
1x ShrinkyDinks Pirates
1x Pop up Lawn Sprinkler
2x Cupcake Lip Gloss

Mom got:
1x Red Gym-type Bag

My bag that is due Monday is 1.8 pounds too. I'm hoping for LEAKFROGS now!!!

The craрs are in!

Mine (5.6lbs)

1 x Genuine Woot Box
5 x Bags of Texas Air
1 x Green shopping bag with flowers
1 x Pop-up sprinkler
1 x Diva Darling facial mitt
2 x Small white towels claiming to be made of Egyptian cotton
1 x Box of 5 XL t-shirts (they fit!)

Wife's (6.6lbs)
1 x Genuine Woot Box (same as mine)
6 x Bags of Texas air
1 x Green shopping bag with flowers (same as mine)
1 x Pop-up sprinkler (again same as mine)
1 x Set of 6 gummy shot glasses (Cool!!)
2 x Slightly larger white towels also claiming to be made of Egyptian cotton
1 x Box of 5 XL t-shirts (too large for wife, but luckily fit me!)

All in all another great experience. Let the whiners keep whining, and we are enjoying the BоC experience to the fullest here as is! Let the craps roll on!

I won't rehash all of gthe same BS, suffice it to say I got the same non-random crap as most here. I received a box of five of the t-shirts but they are size "large." Anyone who received size "Extra Large" (XL) want to trade?

Mine arrived today

1 - Foot Flush installed and working
1 - Christmas Robot USB Drive which clearly is not a toy
1 - Ugly Brown Washcloth
1 - 5 pk. blank tees (assorted colors) - XL
1 - Orange bag with pink flower on it

6 - Bags of Texas Air

All in all a pretty good sack from Santa. Thanks again Woot!

Mine is being slow. Made it to Chino, but has not left for Los Angeles yet.

Looking back through other posts, it looks like Mom's water bottle may have been a unique thing. She showed me a picture of what she got (I'm too lazy to upload it and post it here), and it's a nice looking one.

Anyway, those of you sick of the lack of randomness or whatnot, why not have the Bag of Coal sent to a relative? Yes yes, it'll hurt if they get something really valuable, but what are the odds of that? Even if they get the same thing everyone else got, I bet it'll still be fun to listen on the phone as they open their very first Burgandy Olfactory Center Grandma still alive? Send one to her. Five year old cousin/niece/nephew going through a rough spot? See if they're old enough yet to appreciate the crawesomrapness of a Burgandy Olfactory Center C'mon, it'll be fun!

Burgandy Olfactory Center arrived today (one day before the orginal date and two before the adjusted date when it got to West Virginia).

Mostly the same as others:

1x Diva Darlings headband (Which my wife informs me is for holding one's hair back while washing one's face)
1x Screen for Optoma Screen for the Pico Pocket Projector (no projector).
1x Orange Re-usable shopping bag with a big Pink Flower on it.
1x Beige Hand Towel
1x Skil 21 Piece Ratcheting Screwdriver Set (haven't seen this come up in anyone's crap yet - but may have missed it)

Definitely happy with the haul. The screwdriver set will most certainly come in handy and my daughter has very enthusiastically claimed the flower bag. But I do miss the days of half-broken Sansas and open box cameras a bit - Not that it will stop me from wearing out my F5 button trying to get in on the next crapload.

Quality post right here!

Sadly my box was damaged =( There was a giant hole on the side, with stickers on it saying "Damaged upon reception" from my local post office. I really hope nothing fell out!

What was left in my box was:
1x cupcake gloss (will toss, can't stand putting dirty fingers into gloss pots)
1x kids bingo game (give away)
1x red duffle bag (will probably use for the gym)
2x brown/blue washcloths (actually match my guest bathroom!)
1x RC Color Bug (give away, I have no kids)

Even with the giant hole in the box, thanks woot

How does one "earn" a quality post?

mariojill2001 wrote:Ummmmm, does she know she got a box?????????

As a matter of a fact, I did something I've never done before - waited until she came home so that she could open her box personally. Mind you, I yanked mine open the moment it showed up..

mariojill2001 wrote:How does one "earn" a quality post?

Step 1. Post something on the boards.
Step 2. Get this post noticed by a Woot staffer
Step 3. Have something in the post that a said Woot staffer would consider of value to point out.
Step 4. Watch for a link to your post appear on the first pаge of the thread as well as on the product page (on the day of sale)
Step 5. See the number of your quality posts grow.
Step 6. Brag about it all over the place.

I think that's about how it goes... Oh, and by the way - congrats on your first quality post.
