SO happy with my crap! I wish I got some tp though... I'm about to run out!

Thank you Woot for being the most awesome website on the internets. I hope to do more crapword puzzles soon!

My BoC:

One XL Fila polo, which would be awesome except I just gave away all my XL clothes b/c I lost 35 pounds in the past year, which in the grand scheme of things I suppose is a happy situation. *grumble*

UPDATE: It actually fits quite nicely.

One Remington King of shaves razor, LOL.

One roll of 7th generation toilet paper. Bwahahaha

One USB turn table. (Ohhh Craaaaaiiiig's List! Currently selling for $40!)

One pair of youth size mesh shorts, they fit my 7 year old now and hopefully will still be around for my 5 year old.

One set of Hexbug habitat connectors. My boys were only mildly annoyed that it didn't come with any Hexbugs.

One stationery set, which my 2 year old daughter is currently enamored with.

One purple reusable shopping bag (does every BoC come with an actual bag?).

And, IMO, the piece de resistance, one bug zapper racquet, which I would have never purchased on my own initiative, but which will probably become one of my most prized possessions if it works.

Oh also, a large cardboard box, which my children are of course, having a ball with. My 8 year old turned it into a reading nook.

Yep! Three pieces of crap and one bag is the guarantee. If it didn't you could/should complain bitterly to customer service that you'd been SHORTED YOUR BAG.

mossygreen wrote:Yep! Three pieces of crap and one bag is the guarantee. If it didn't you could/should complain bitterly to customer service that you'd been SHORTED YOUR BAG.

Well technically it doesn't always have to be a bag, but there should always be a container of some sort. I can't remember how long ago it was, but a previous BoC that I got contained a metal bucket with the Woot "!" on the side. I think that was my coolest "bag" ever and I'm pretty sure I didn't get an actual bag in that order. (I could be wrong though, it has been a few years since I got that bucket.) That bucket is still one of my favorite Bag of Cowardliness items of all time though.

Opened up my Bag of Cowardlinessword today (Word: TNRM)
11 Bags of air
1 Purple Flower Tote
1 XL Blue FILA Polo
1 VIBE USB Turn Table
1 Smith & Wesson Extraction and Evasion knife (SWEE3S)
6 Hair or Wristbands
2 Flower hairclips
2 Stationary sets
1 roll of appropriate paper
1 XTREME Survival ipad2 case

and now for my two favorite items..

1 Bug zapper racket - which works as tested by a friend who decided he wanted to stick his finger in it.. I saw and heard the zap!

1 Mysterious Black Knight Horse. I have no idea what this is from, it's just an awesome horse with a saddle.. no knight to be found but it looks like something should sit in there.

Edit! Forgot one item! A 4GB Wonder Woman flashdrive, the physical size of it is really odd. It's really wide and will cover up neighboring USB ports to the sides.

I don't recall the details, but last year someone performed a little light surgery on the Chuck Norris doll to replace the battery and got him talking again. If it's important to you, you could give it a shot.

Got my BOC today!! The tracking info said Monday, but the PO brought it by a few mins ago. Also, the tracking said 12x12x12 the whole time, but it was actually 24x12x12!

Anyway, here's the stuff:

1 x Purple flower bag (of course)
1 x USB Turntable (I wish I owned some records!)
1 x iPhone 5 silicon case
1 x Corsair Voyager 16GB flash drive (open; possibly a returned one)
1 x TMNT terry wrist band
1 x Roll of 7th Gen TP (single ply.. yikes!)
1 x Bug Zapper tennis racquet
1 x Smith & Wesson pocket knife (it's pretty awesome)
3 x Nike plain black t-shirts (Size L)
1 x Stationary kit
1 x Blue Fila polo (size XL <-- my size)

Elopes for the win Cyco! (You were my winning partner, right??)

Hubby's BoC has been updated to TUESDAY delivery now. Poor guy! *twiddles thumbs*

Was I?? I got the AVON clue. That was so fun.. I really hope they do some more BOCs like that. It was a blast!

Got my BoC a few days ago, but haven't had a chance to post results yet. Without further ado, the bag's contents:

• Many bags of Texas air
  
• Purple sunflower bag (bigger than I expected!)
  
• Stationary set (wonder if the pens are dried out yet?)
  
• XXL Fila gray and red polo shirt
  
• "Very soft" pink baby blanket
  
• "Scanimagic" drawing toy
  
• Chuck Norris doll (fetching, ain't he?)
  
• USB Turntable (makes me wish I had saved all my childhood LPs)
  
• and video camera goggles! Not sure how I'll use these as I don't motorcross or ski very much, but it'll be fun to play around with them (supposing they still work of course.)
  

I got my crap a couple days ago, but haven't had a chance to post it. For those of you still lurking, it contained:

2 x Beautiful purple flower tote bags
1 x XL Fila blue polo shirt
1 x M Fila black polo (my size)
1 x roll of single ply toilet paper (for the guests, as my butt demands 2 ply)
1 x Dark Knight kids size T shirt
1 x Ninja Turtle wrist band
1 x Flower hair bow
1 x package of plastic head bands
1 x Nijago Lego Kids watch (actually pretty cool looking)
1 x 3 pack of bamboo cutting boards

and the big items:

1 x Timex Indiglo Men's watch - price tag says 52.95. Brand new condition, keeps time, and is actually my style!

1 x Refurb TomTom XL340S LIVE GPS!
Original retail 199.99, but I think the refurbs were on woot before for about 60.00. Includes everything and appears to be working well.

I was super excited about the GPS because I actually need one, but the maps on it are 3 years old, and it will cost 50.00 just to update them once. Still deciding if I am going to do that.

All in all a very nice haul! Thanks woot!

I got my BOC on Saturday although I'm hoping to get more Monday since although awesome and just what I need my BOC was incomplete. I received:

1 box taped up with a few wraps like it was being belted and a piece of funny packing tape along the seam that did not hold or someone broke into my BOC. Inside of said box was one iphone retrophone phone dock which is awesome. I'm going to wait today to see if another box comes containing my bag and other two items but I'm not overly hopeful since the tracking # says delivered....

Yeah I was going to hold out until after I checked the mail today, hoping somehow the post got messed up but I don't have high hopes...

raebee wrote:Yeah I was going to hold out until after I checked the mail today, hoping somehow the post got messed up but I don't have high hopes...

I once gave up on a padded envelope that never showed up. 3 months later, it was on my doorstep. Had been cut open and taped close again.

Only 1 of the 3 USBs that were supposed to be in there, was there. When I called, they said it was probably damaged in the processing and they fell out. And their policy is to immediately throw them away.

Oooh, did you order Belly Flops from Jelly Belly? Or are you just being sarcastic? I hope you ordered 10 lbs. of Belly Flops (should have gone with 20 lbs!).

raebee wrote:Yeah I was going to hold out until after I checked the mail today, hoping somehow the post got messed up but I don't have high hopes...

Alas I have had no luck... It is in the hands of the Woot! Gods now, may they be merciful, kind, and full of crap...

ThunderThighs wrote:Tropical Mix Jelly Beans. I hate getting the popcorn ones in regular bags.

Well, that's entirely understandable.

Received my haul last week, here are the contents:

9x Bags 'o Texas (Or Oklahoma?) air, 2x sacrificed
1x Purple flower bag
1x Mens XXL Fila blue polo shirt
1x Stationary set
1x Callaway women's size 11 gold shoes
1x 2 in 1 universal tablet pc holder
1x KaiJudo "rise of the duel masters" DVD with "Exclusive Art"

Annnnnd...

1x Police Charger "wired computer mouse" complete with a "DM" sticker and a "charger polize wired" (sic) note attached.

Well this just came in the mail* (in legal sized paper) just now from pemberducky which totally surprised me!! WHOA! UNEXPECTED MUCH!! MY FIRST LETTER!!

Here it is! Here it is!! A picture!!**



It says (if someone had trouble reading, this is the best translation I can make of it)..

HELLO JOSHOBRA,

PEMBERDUCKY HERE.
I WORK FOR WOOT.
THIS LETTER IS TO
INFORM YOU THAT
YOU WILL BE
RECEIVING A LETTER
FROM US. PLEASE
KEEP AN EYE OUT
FOR A LETTER FROM
US.

THANKS.
PEMBERDUCKY
ON BEHALF OF WOOT.

What is this madness?!? A letter saying that I'm getting a letter?! THAT'S LETTER-CEPTION.

Well, I wonder what it will be...

I GUESS I'LL BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THAT LETTER!



*I keep monkey on my desk for extra swag. Monkey has nothing to do with what just came in the mail.

**I made a video "unboxing" the the envelop. But my computer made too many noises (I was formatting my Macbook to run on Windows XP), my dog walked in on me and knocked over everything for now apparent reason, my grandma wanted to upload a bunch of pictures that she took, my sister wanted to do homework on my computer, I forgot to re-install Lightroom on my computer since I just re-formatted, the TV in the living is too loud while my mom was cooking dinner which also made funny noises that you could've heard on the audio of the video and some other embarrassing things happened like I forgot to wash my car and stuff today before visiting a friends house that bought me some good food. So yeah, maybe next time I'll get a video up if anyone is interested.

Opened my BOC today won from being one of the final 50 to answer that last Crapword puzzle clue. A very girly bag I did receive indeed.

13x Plastic bowls
1x Miss Smarty Pants XS Kansas State pair of Hot Shorts
1x Miss Smarty Pants S Arkansas Razorbacks Racerback Tank
1x Miss Smarty Pants Empty packaging for a S Thong
1x Silver women's watch
4 Disney Magical Story Books (Just children's books really)
-Dumbo
-Jungle Book
-Peter Pan
-Lion King
24x Remington Hair Clips
1x M Black Fila Polo
1x Berry Flavored 5-Hour Energy
1x Purple Flower Bag
1x Size 7, 13" Women's Sidetie Sheepdawgs (Uggs knockoffs)

If I were a girl this would've been a really kickass bag.

Hi, I live in NY...and I have a black/gray Fila Polo in size M, I believe it's a performance polo. While my brother refuses to wear FILA, I'm sure my father who is also an XL would be more than happy to wear one. I'd be happy to trade with you, feel free to PM me to work out the details
