I plan to throw some smallpox-infected blankets over the fence then steal my neighbors' land.

What? Too soon?

I plan on celebrating by getting in my large ship, getting lost, then claiming I'm right for hundreds of years.....

Deleting a large amount of Columbus Day sales out of my inbox, apparently. And working.

I am working nine and a half hours (the length of the store day where I work) because the manager took the day off to be with her kids. As she should.

@stile99: As an Official Indigenous Person, I was going to say that I was going to spend the day avoiding smallpox blankets and hoping nobody adversely possesses my home. I see you're well on your way, though.

I'm going to sit around with my Viking friends and point and laugh at Columbus.

Well, I went to work at o-dark thirty (at a financial institute) and am now enjoying the remainder of the day off.

-not all banking people get the day off today

I'm going to drive around aimlessly, until I find a house that looks good. Then, I'm going to go into it and tell the people inside "I live here now."

It's Thanksgiving! I am eating turkey, mashed potatoes, squash, and not eating whatever-that-thing-is-that-Aunt-Em-made. I'm grateful for friends and family, including my woot family, and for my little four-legged, squirrel-chasing, heart-melting loves.

I went hiking/camping at Starved Rock State Park!

It was a bit chilly camping (dropped into the low 30s Sunday Night), but we made it.

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.
