DENIED 2 times again, SON OF A GOATHERDER!

Does this now mean if I got a confirmation email and it shopped up in my account from the Bunnies Ogling Carrots about an hour ago I'm not getting it because they just put it up for sale again?!

How is that fair?

Got my first Bucket O Chicken! WOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!

Confirmation Email has arrived! WooHoo!

on 3/22/2012, you successfully wooted.
You want 1

Barrel of Crops
You ordered 3 Random Crap.

plus tax + $0.66
plus shipping + $5.00
for a total of $8.66

heck yeah, first one since april fools '07!!!

*sigh*

I give up. Been trying since 2007. Was all over it this time. Denied once. Denied twice. Denied, no kidding, 20 times.

Son of a female dog!....Missed out on it again! Keeps on getting stuck on the processing page and then no dice. I am beginning to resent you Woot.

Well if I can't buy one, I think I'll make one myself and sell it on ebay.

Who'll bid?

Oh My Fruitful Garden! Yes!!

Payment taken out of my bank, order shows in my account, and confirmation email!! I'm stoked!

This little guy is in my pin collection, glad to know he's visiting you down there in Texas to mess with your servers!

weird, can't get this to attach as an image...

Two Craps, one house!

This is ridiculous, 4 years and no bacon.

Wouldn't take the "Your order is NOT in messages with too much weight". Got to two processing screens and ended up with that message but I still got a confirmation email just now...clearly still some kinks in the system.

After getting denied many times i just got an email saying my order has been placed!!

Yeah mine processed for awhile- Then Your Order is NOT in. Oh well maybe next time

Nuts. "Order NOT in". With all of these multiple Bags of Crap today, I'm going to have to stay up until 1am (eastern)

Congrats to those who got a bag.

Looked good until I got the confirmation.........DENIED

Thought I'd get one

After jumping in fast, somehow getting to processing on the very first try... an eternity of waiting... denied again!

Why doest thou torment me, Woot!?

awww fudge

your order is NOT in.
possible problems with your order:

Order denied.
We're sold out of the item or we don' t have enough quantity to complete your order.

Got one!

Ya know, a Bunnies Ogling Carrots used to bring down just about all of Woot, including the comments, for half an hour. These new servers are nowhere near perfect, but that's definitely an improvement.

Woo!

My first one in over 6 months.

My last one had like 80 items in it.

Denied at the "processing your order" page. I waited and waited only to bet down. Le sigh...

What Tiny Flowers??? My Bunnies Ogling Carrots order went very smooth and fast... but now it says my order is *NOT* in!!!!

shakes fist
WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

A tale of success:
Every. Single. Barrel of Crops. before tonight has come while I was at work or on my way home. The connection is terrible at work and I can't run personal software, so there's zero chance of that happening. On the way home, obviously, even worse. I did luck into one April 1st last year, but that wasn't a standard Woot-Off Bunnies Ogling Carrots so it didn't quite count in my book.

Tonight, I was startled to have Wootalyzer pop up a Barrel of Crops notification earlier in the evening. Tried to order that thing probably 12 times or more. Every time it was smooth sailing, then "Denied". Gave up when it moved on to the next item...and then poof, back to the Bunnies Ogling Carrots So I tried a couple more times. nothin'. Must've been sold out, right?

Then I'm playing Saints Row 3 when suddenly I'm out of game. Wait, is it crashing? Nope! The Bunnies Ogling Carrots#39;s up again! Okay, doubt I'm going to succeed, but, hey. I try one more time, just in case. And it sits there, sits there, processing, processing... I go back to my game. After a few minutes of random, joyous carnage I decide to take another look...what? IT WENT THROUGH?!?! Holy buckets.

:O It got through... With a coupon code too from the Clue game ^_^ Weird that it told me I had already ordered one when I hadn't though... I think that 15k order fiasco made things wonky.

As long as it stays on my account, looks like I finally nabbed one after failing at every previous one today.

Given that they usually sell around 2500-3000 of these, I bet it comes up again. FWIW I made it through with PayPal.

I am waiting for the day that Woot offers a Bunnies Ogling Carrots for an entire 24 hours and lets EVERYONE buy 3.

Just picture the faces of tens of thousands of buyers when they open their packages to see that yes, they paid $3, plus $5 smartpost...

For three joke plastic doggy turds and some Woot calendars from last year.

April Fool's Day IS just around the corner...

An ant colony?

Oh Woot gods, I thank you for the favor you have shown me. My first Barrel of Crops! Yay! I swear to love the crap, even if it isn't the crap I love.

YESSSS!!! First Bunnies from Canada EVER!!!!

A lot of crap this woot-off and not all of it is in a bag!

I mentioned I didn't even try for a Bunnies Ogling Carrots today, and then it appeared in front of me again. This time, I just couldn't freaking help myself. I hit that yellow button, and I got one, I think. I can't help but be excited again. This will be my 4th, in 5 years.

Hee hee hee hee! Woot, don't listen to the naysayers. Whatever you're doing to tweak your servers, it worked! (For me, anyway.) My Bunnies Ogling Carrots is on the way. Joy!

Someone on deals.woot (I don't remember who) said that one April Fools' Day, there was 4 bags in a day. Can anyone confirm the year?

They did three separate bags on a regular Woot-off, I believe in 2007. It wasn't on April Fool's Day, though. I'm thinking it was the March one. I got in on the second group.

Sheesh - it's like trying to dunk on Blake Griffin... (http://cosbysweaters.com/2012/03/21/thou-shalt-not-dunk-on-blake-griffin/)

;-)

Next time.... next time....

OK, I'm expecting this Bunnies Ogling Carrots to arrive, yes?
Wrong no Bunnies Ogling Carrots shows up in the "My Account" link. What's going on here? Whatever you're doing to stop multiple purchases is not working.

Edit: Oh. OK, so I actually got one? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

(It's in my account. Dunno which sale worked.)

Same situation, but not in my account..

Don't forget about my favorite gremlin, the big hairy guy on the Twilight Zone that kept tormenting William fertilizer (whose birthday is today, by the way...go to Twitter and wish @williamshatner a happy birthday,)

Scored my second!

YES!

It just updated my account and said I ordered one! THIS IS SO PLEASING
