    Is that sarcasm? The flying monkey is still there, looks liek there's plenty left. The Bag of Crap is still the holy grail of Wooting :)

    x24.

    BoC rulz all.

    I was able to get one at the last woot off. It came with a bag, fact or crap game, toothbrush sanitizer, woot head and wrist bands...and I want to say something else but I cant remember.

    Screaming Monkey is gone and even if they are still up, after 5 minutes, they are usually out of them and the site is updating. The monkeys lasted 11 minutes from the stats I saw.

    And the Monkeys are all limited edition. The only cape that has been repeated previously is the green one. No other color/pattern has been repeated. The Bag of Crap is just exactly that, a Bag of Crap. The woot "Screaming Monkeys" are "collectibles".

    Yes, but it doesn't mean that if you see a screaming monkey the woot-off is ending. They put them up during the middle of the day too. Those usually don't last as long and are a little bit more rare.

    That being said, if you see a a screaming monkey pretty close to midnight, then yes it is probably ending.


    The BOC I got last time was pretty decent. Some of those indoor glass plant waterer, Stainless travel coffee mug, outdoor solar powered lighted glass globes for the patio and a screaming monkey. So, I wouldn't sat that the BOC is crap, just ya never know what your getting.

    I'm not saying that the Bag of Crap is junk. It's just unmemorable stuff thet they couldn't get rid of...typically. There have been times were a Bag of Crap was something like...a new plasma TV. But those are rare and far between. More often than not, the BoC is miscellaneous stuff and I'll bet the average skews towards the "useless" side of the curve more than most think.

    But I've seen Screaming Monkeys up at Midnight or shortly thereafter and the woot off is still continuing the next day. That's the main reason I'm usually up between Midnight and 1:30 AM during woot offs. That's most often when the Screaming Monkeys and the Bag of Craps are put up.

    Today, I just got lucky. Lucky like finding a prostitute on the street only to discover it's Jennifer Love Hewitt doing total immersion character research for a film she's working on.

    Well after reading all of this, a bag of shite came up about 15 minutes ago and i jumped on it. It seems like 5 minutes of fun for 8 dollars. Not bad in my book.

    I'll karma whatever is useless to the good people of polk after she arrives. Someone will have a use for the useless....:biggrin:

    Now i'm looking for this fabled screaming monkey that Jstas claims as the lost ark. It will be my life's greatest accomplishment if i can score one!!

    This will be my first Bag 'o' Shite and am quite excited!

    Part of me wants it to be actual fecal matter!...it would make for an interesting deathbed story with the future children in the year 2080. "Did i ever tell you about the time i got a box of crap in the mail"...."Dad, what's mail?".....(flatline..................)

    It's almost like christmas except i paid for my own mystery gift. I hope its a hot russian mail order bride they had lying around...w00t w00t!!

    AH! Damnit! I was wondering why the browser freaked out when I hit the reload button. Stupid girl came to my desk just to say hi. Made me miss the BoC. What a day that would have been? Screaming Monkey AND a BoC all in the same day? Epic.

    Well, I missed out on the BoC, but I picked up some male enhancement pills!

    MEANWHILE, IN A SKYSCRAPER SHAPED LIKE A GIANT 4.

    One of the world?s most brilliant minds calls his team for a meeting.

    ?What?s going on, Reed??

    ?Yeah, Elasto. Is there some intergalactic threat that needs clobberin???

    No, I?m afraid not. I have a confession to make, you guys. About us. About our powers. I?m afraid I?m responsible for-

    ?It wasn?t your fault, darling. It was the cosmic rays.?

    ?Yeah, you had no way of knowing.?

    Well, that?s actually what I want to talk about. You see, it wasn?t actually cosmic rays. It was my own scientific hubris and a quest to devise the perfect male enhancement pills.

    ?What are you talking about??

    For years I?ve struggled to come to terms with my own feelings of inadequacy?down there. I decided to put my scientific genius to work devising a solution. I came up with three pills. One to make things, y?know, longer. Another to make things?okay, I know this sounds crude, but hard as a rock.

    ?A big orange rock??

    ?Shut up, Johnny.?

    And a third to make things, well, I didn?t really know what I was going for, but I wanted my life in the bedroom to be hotter.

    ?What? That?s impossible.?

    ?Yeah, Reed. You?re not making any sense. I remember going into outer space.?

    That?s what you all think. I couldn?t take all three pills myself or I?d never know each pill?s individual effects, so I gave Ben and Johnny one too. When things started getting out of control and I saw the pills were changing us all in fantastic ways I freaked out, and I corked all of you upside your heads with a wrench. When you awoke, I concocted-

    ?Ha! Concocted!?

    Quit being juvenile, Johnny. Anyway, I DEVISED a story about space flight. You were all suffering pretty brutal concussions, so you bought it with minimal resistance. But now I realize the error of my ways. I don?t need to develop magic pills, because I?ve acquired this 30 Day Supply of ExtenZe Male Enhancement, which promises to work wonders even though the FDA won?t evaluate any of those statements and this is the modern day equivalent to eating a rattlesnake **** to gain its power or something. So, I?m sorry.

    ?This is a lot to take in.?

    ?That?s what she said.?

    ?Shut UP!?

    ?Reed, I don?t understand. How did I gain my incredible powers of invisibility, then??

    Oh. Well, to be perfectly honest I hadn?t been with many women before you, Sue, and your?uh, equipment was?well, not BAD but just?different. Than anything I was used to. So I was a little freaked out and intimidated, and I OWN that. That?s my baggage; that?s not anything wrong or bad about you or your body. But I sorta gave you a pill to try and shrink some things down to disappear.

    ?Hey! That?s my sister you?re talkin? about!?

    ?Oh man, he showed me a picture one time.?

    ?Ben!?

    ?I could?ve sworn it was Johnny.?

    ?BEN!?

    So I?m sorry I gave you all experimental boner pills. But in the end, we all got super powers so that?s kind of awesome, right?

    The only other signature "woot" thing I can think of that would constitute a trifecta would be, like, a Roomba?

    Wow that foot flusher looks like a keeper. I don't know if Russman would buy it. It's not AARP certified.

    No monkey......Better luck next time. Now i can only pray a monkey comes in the BoC. A Daewoo would also be cool.
