Okay people, have we finally taken the "deep-fry everything" philosophy too far?

Jun 20, 2012 5:30 PM

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Southern boy and just the thought of some Mississippi pond raised deep fried catfish makes my mouth water but has deep-frying finally "jumped the shark"?

Not until you've had Deep Fried Shark.

Do you seriously doubt the American drive to create food with the most negative nutritional value possible? Somewhere in a deserted wherehouse I bet someone is working on deep fried crack.

Saw a sign for Deep Fried Butter at the Puyallup fair last year. It was also not far from the "lost children" station.

I tried not to think about it too hard but failed dismally every time I walked by. I did however, get Deep Fried Reeces Cups and thought it was "worth doing once, never again".

I suppose that's one way to make HFCS Crunch look like a healthy alternative ...

@hobbitss: Local sushi place does a tempura ice cream that's pretty excellent.

Also had a deep fried cheesecake that was worth another go if I ever get the chance! But would not ever consider trying Daniel Tosh's invention, Deep Fried Mayo Balls!

I like deep fried ice cubes.
They make my gin and tonics something special.

Scotland has already deepfried everything. You can bring your own food into a chipshop and they'll batter & fry it for you. Even pizza.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
