I've been a member even longer than you and I finally got my first one too! w00T!

Dear Woot Gods,
Is it too soon to begin putting in our requests for our Bunnies Ogling Carrots I could REALLY use one of those Roku's that you seem to have a million of, if thats not too much to ask. Even if u could just scrounge up the parts of several broken ones, id be willing to try to peice together a working unit. Everytime it comes up, im so tempted to buy one, but then i look at my bank account...

Frankenroku?

Wow, you guys finally mixed up the time. It's been dependable for a couple of years, for the bee oh cee to come up in the afternoon of the second or third day day. Not that that's helped me get one. :/

Woot Monkeys please relay this message to the Woot Gods,

If I get some war dvd's, old flying monkeys, and a knife for the future site knife.woot.com that will be cool. But just please remind them to not forget one very important thing! A letter! Preferably saying that another package is on the way, but either way a letter would be cool.

Have a great day, and good luck packing the brown bags filled with crap monkeys!

Your Wooter.

I might be interested in that screen. What's the size?

I kinda want to see that, actually.

It wouldn't be the first Woot related Frankendevice ever made...

That's really neat! I had no idea!

Years ago, April 1st, Black and Decker batteries and BOCs were the only things offered. Seriously.

I think that's still my favorite woot day. The pictures and write ups were fantastic and the threads were full of hilarity.

inkycatz wrote:That's really neat! I had no idea!

LOL, and it made Woot famous around my office.

The build board has advanced since then... It originally used the yellow lights, then used yellow, blue and red. Now I use LED bulbs and I've written a network stack for UDP on that microprocessor.

That might have been me. I'm sorry! I just like getting Random Crap and passing it on to other people (see also the umpteen Random Shirt.Woots). I just got like 2 dozen random shirts from Another Daily T-Shirt Site too for use as prizes for an event I'm M.C.ing soon.

I've been hoping to find some Woot Lights for similar purposes... need quite a few and different colors too.

GuardianBob wrote:I miss Woot happy hour. Was so much fun.

Same here I keep going back to the page just hoping it comes back from the dead. I double checked I did get a Bunnies Ogling Carrots that day.

Keep the spread out crap please!

Like I said, I've moved on from the lights, they continually got stuck and had issues while upside down.

Now I have solid state relays and LED light bulbs. Much better.

Let me know if you want some details.

I remember that April Fool's Day. I along with others were convinced that the Bunnies Ogling Carrots#39;s they were selling would contain nothing but said battery packs. To this day I don't have a straight answer, were they actually Bunnies Ogling Carrots#39;s or battery packs (and therefore a very clever April Fool's joke)?

EDIT: It seems those were legitimate bags of crap. Well, seems like I'm the fool for not buying one despite having multiple opportunities that day. 4 years later and I still feel dumb.

ThunderThighs wrote:If you expect to get one of 3000 or so Bunnies Ogling Carrots when hundreds of thousands of our 2,000,000 account holders are trying to do the same thing, you might need a reality check.

The trick is to not expect it and be happy when it happens.

Yes, It is a joyful occasion when a person can land a bag! There is a lot of fun trying and then in waiting for the bag to arrive. Also reading all the comments adds to the fun, just don't let it get you mad or discouraged. It is all in Great Fun and every now and again we get something nice. I have very much enjoyed being part of Woot over the last 4 year (almost 100 purchases so far). My wife does not understand.

I would love pics and a schematic if possible my kid would love to make it in shop (he is 9)

Yes those were real Bunnies Ogling Carrots I Don't remember what I got though

Yep. Got my confirmation. This was my very first attempt at a Bunnies Ogling Carrots and holy crap, I got one. So excited!

After 20 minutes of suspense... IT WAS A SUCCESS! Thank you very much Woot, You guys are awesome.

A bunch of winnars we are! /rolls a d20 in celebration.

I really hope a roll of a 3 isn't ominous of anythings.

Dear Woot Peoples,

I know you guys are watching out there, and I know this is probably too much to ask for... but I'd like my box to be super-personalized and special... so you know, you could make that guy posting this message right now have a pretty awesome day opening the box. Just saying.. I know it's too much to ask for.

Sincerely,

Draw a badass donkey on there!

Just out of curiosity, who is in crapmmander-in-chief of the Bunnies Ogling Carrots now? I haven't gotten once since Threepiecewoot moved on.

Wow. Five Bunnies Ogling Carrots and I score zero, zip, nada... No fault of Woot, just not being in the right place at the right time. But FIVE times? Wow. I am way off my mark... 8-(

Seriously let down by woot and the Bunnies Ogling Carrots Tried for years to get one, never got through the loading screen. This time I actually ordered one, went back to the home page and there was still some in stock. Yet I too never got a confirmation email. Mad that I didn't even get an unconfirmation "out of stock email."

blkh2bio wrote:.... I hope that Woot continues to multi-crap in the future.

Yes, making several small and regularly spaced out craps is always healthier than letting things get backed up and then making just one huge crap all at once....

Another way to look at it: Multiples are ALWAYS better. =D

I'm in the same boat as you. I've been able to predict their appearances with good accuracy for some time now....just either was never free during those times, or servers crashed. I feel your pain, and offer to share with you my used tissue......*reaches into purse*

I hope they include in your bag the letter "Q" in response to your request.

RasOne wrote:.... My wife does not understand.

Dump her. Some of us wimmens do gets it.

Seems like we've had a relatively quiet and quick phase 1 this time around. Perhaps the multi-mini-crap method is the reason. I rather liked it.

I suspect we'll have a lull for a bit before phase 2 begins in earnest.




The Phases of the Bag of Crap (according to DrGandalf):

Phase 1: The discussion of getting vs. not getting the Bag of Crap, with the usual reference to the cursed bots, Woot's horrible servers, and related.

Phase 2: The discussion of when will Woot finally ship the Bags, and did you get your tracking number, and the creation of the spreadsheet.

Phase 3: The discussion of how much the packages are predicted to weigh, how big they are, how Smartpost is sending them all around the country, and whether they are arriving early, late, or maybe never, and how to find out all the tracking information.

Phase 4: The revealing of the contents of the much awaited Bags of Crap, with much hooting and Wooting by those that are happy, some grumbling by those that are not, but with most folks happy that they got to play the game no matter what they got. Plus, the great hunt for The Letter!

Wait.....WHAT?!!!!

When did this happen?.....how did this happen....WHY did this happen??? Am I the last to know? I apparently never got that memo.

Geez....I need to start getting back to the forums more often again.

zollars23 wrote:I might be interested in that screen. What's the size?

It's tiny. The Pico Pocket Projector screen. I never took it out of the plastic wrap, but I think it's probably almost big enough to display a kid's science project. Sorry!

You've spent $152 on crap. Just thought I'd point it out. Not judging. Just sayin....

Love your phases, btw.
