Yes, looks like a 3-dayer. You will sleep tomorrow night.
I think it's gonna be a 3 day wootoff with no BOC to protest SOPA/PIPA
Heh. SOPA and PIPA ARE the BoC this time around.
Sleep is overrated. Life is short. Three day woot offs are rare and precious.
Still, I'm abandoning ship after the Wine Woot changes from Brownie$.
@gideonfrost: That's not even something to joke about.
What kind of sick SOB would even say something like that?
We were all having a good time...you just took it too far. Not cool man.
Not cool.
Funny, that's my plan as well.
While I have the sick and vacation days available, taking a third day off isn't acceptable.
@drchops: I just found it interesting that on a day other internet sites are protesting with blackouts woot is having a woot off. What better way to get everyone at woot beind a movement than to withold the fabled BOC.
See the thing is I work nights, and tomorrow I have a meeeting in the middle of the day (Groan!)
If they do a B-O-C it's always around 4-5pm my time. So I'm never getting to sleep!! Oh well.. I'll just sleep at work :-)
@gideonfrost: lol that would be brilliant. Instead, sell like a bag of SOAP. I realize that doesn't actually make sense, you know see what I'm driving at here :D. And Woot writers could make it work...enough.
Or maybe they'll put some kind of black square over the BOC picture and link to the SOPA page.. I'm getting pretty tired. Running on fumes.
@drchops: Brilliant! :-D
3 am EST and getting some sleep, for the long haul tomorrow. BOC # 3, you shall be mine!!!
@gmwhit: I suspect people won't think it's so brilliant when they open their BOC to find a bar of Irish Springs.
It's always interesting experiencing the wootoff from a time zone with 13 hours difference. I always hope that they'll show up in the middle of the night one of these days, but the past three have been between 2 - 4 PM. Maybe I'll live a little and stay up all night tonight :)
When involved in a long wootoff, my strategy, and it usually worked well, was to pick the time of day/corrrespondng boring and dull item that is set to take up a lot of time in order to let the employees catch up - at least that what I assumed it to be - usually around meal times or mid morning/afternoon. Depends on your time zone of course. BEWARE, however, it has been know to happen - the BOC just might be tossed in, but it has not been my experience to date. Kindly note, however, you should not pay any attention to what I think on the BOC subject - been a member for 7 years - no BOC when it mattered (during the times when people actually got good stuff). As posted elsewhere, I am ridding myself of all of my personal boc's.
I missed the brownies!?
That was the ONLY thing I was waiting for, and they went and put it at 1:44AM! :( This will be a very depressing woot-off if there is no BOC.
My wallet is crying as is. I don't know how much more it can take.
I love woot! But I'm not losing any sleep over a woot-off! I occasionally drop by and see if there is something fun/interesting. I stopped trying to get a BOC long ago. I've gotten one, and it was sufficiently crappy to deter me from trying again! :)
Jaun Valdez is keeping me awake! We've been talking for hours about coffee beans, the job market in columbia, and the tiny ninjas currently invading my mailbox.
I'm waiting out this BOC so I can take a donkey ride to see what they're up to. It smells like hair in here.
@claudicina: It would seem that those of us that have scored a stinky BOC don't generally take videos and post them on "the youtubes." All I see are the ones like, "Ooooo, we got 15 cordless phones, 25 mp3 players, and ONE MEEEEELEEEON DOLLARS!" What the heck am I going to do with a dream cheeky USB guard dog!?
