Who else is a member of the Order of the Cockatrice?
I need to add that to my CV.
Thanks for the $5 @jumbowoot!
I am! Thank you @jumbowoot! Certainly makes the woot-off that much better for me! :)
Present and accounted for!
Also..thanks @Jumbowoot ...fiat panis!
@jumbowoot: BTW did you by mistake get 'stoned' with an unserendipitous look at a Cockatrice??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockatrice
And why didn't you make the secret code 'speak' or 'verbal' or 'verb'. I guess you are the first secret member of Root [Latin version of course].
I read those horrible metaphors and all I got was $5 off this t-shirt.
And what did Frank do for you to tell him to be quiet?
@misry: Great post!! You just got my +positive thing!!!
Thanks @jumbowoot! Never thought I would be one of the creme-de-la-sicles
Indeed.
Thanks! JumboWoot for coupon! and agingdragqueen for posting ^^
Add me to the group! Looking forward to pending it soon, thank you, Jumbowoot.
Oh @jumbowoot, you clever secretum. These will be put to good use this woot-off!
<3 hugs&kisses

I DID, I DID!
I am, however, worried about the "chicken-like wings" thing.
Glad I saw this. Got the email and couldn't find a code anywhere. Thought I was going blind..
@jumbowoot, I thank you for the coupon.

ty JW!
here`s hoping for some primo non-bacon goods to spend it on during the woot off.
I did not receive one this time around, which is totally cool, but I'm just curious - what was the action that earned the coupon? @raider9924 mentioned "voting on a post tagged "electronics," but I just checked and I did that (both posts and deals, actually).
Just to be clear - I'm curious what the action to earn a coupon was, not whining that I "should" have gotten one. It's always neat to see what Jumbowoot picks for the coupons, but since I didn't get one, I need someone else to fill me in! :)
So can we expect some of these in tomorrow's WootOff?

thanks for the $5 coupon, but I have two questions...
is a cockatrice really a 3 headed monster?????
also, if @jumbowoot! posted the code, does that also mean ANYONE can use it?????
@mkentosh: No. You're thinking of a cockathrice.
No. The codes aren't secret. You can only use the code if your account has been pre-activated for that code.

I'm glad I read the posts here. I thought the code was "Secretum Latina Codice Verba!" even though it was much too long. ;o)
Just got home and checked personal email.
I'm a Cockatricer too. WOO-HOO!
Bring on the bacon mofos.
Seriously, thanks @JumboWoot!
Thanks @jumbowoot... you're the best!
I feel like I'm supposed to be dressed in leather, with a whip and a rooster tucked under my arm...or something equally as strange.
@lavikinga: Hey, that's what I was going to wear tomorrow! How did you know?
@okham: Woot Off! Wear!
OK fellow Wooters, please check me out on this. I am sure there is a Professor [distinguished] of Romance Language or, specifically, Latin who can review my translation of ‘Secretum Latina Codice Verba!’ Secretum is obvious, even for a near flunkie of HS Latin, as a best guess of secret, excluding others; especially when combined with Codice a book of many complex pages like the craggy and inconsistent layers of a tree trunk would lead one to think ‘hard to find’ passage or code. Add in Latina as Latin leads to the [jumbo left out the article] secret Latin code. Hope I am passing at this point because my next deduction is a major leap for moi. Verba meaning verb, speaking, words. Ergo, in Latin, the secret passage/code [that you have to use for your $5 coupon] in the book is Verba or one of the previous English possibilities. Hey, @jumbowoot, how did I do?
Got one! I knew mindlessly clicking daily whether at home or the office would garner me $5 at some point!
Late to the party as usual but very greatful. Thanks Jumbo¡
@jsimsace: Saw your new avatar. Inspired me to fix mine...
Ooo! I am now a member of the Order. Still not sure what a Cockatrice is, but that's okay. I noticed the lack of a code in the announcement, but I was expecting the code to be OrderOfTheCockatrice or Cockatrice or some such like that. Something fun and easy to guess.
I was wondering where the code was. go me!
@the18thtee84: Represent!
Thanks @Jumbowoot for the coupon! I got a MST3K DVD with the last one. Let's see what this Wootoff has that I can use this one on!
My first time in so I thought it was a riddle. Thanks @jumbowoot for both the coupon + the confusion.
Funny email, thanks @jumbowoot!
I'm in. Let the hazing begin! Thanks for clearing up the code issue. I was confused, but then I remembered this is woot, so I just waited for the answer to be revealed to me. And it was. Love the creme-de-la-cicle tag put on us as well!
@jumbowoot: othankgod I thought I'd lost it altogether. Now I know who to blame it on!
Thanks Jumbowoot. I really appreciate it.
Sadly, I'm not in, but I rarely vote so I don't deserve to be.
add me to the list, Now I'm going to spread my chicken wings and fly.
This is going on my resume...Thanks @jumbowoot !
Got one too! Thanks @jumbowoot!!
Just in time for the Woot-offs!
I am Quiet Frank
Cockadoodledoo! Thanks for the coupon!
What did you call me? Cock...a...who?
Funfunfun.
Has anyone ever heard of the Pathfinder RPG?
There is an 'Order of the Cockatrice', defined as 'A cavalier who belongs to this order serves only himself, working to further his own aims and increase his own prestige. Cavaliers of this order tend to be selfish and concerned only with personal goals and objectives.'
Is JumboWoot trying to tell us something?
@jumbowoot: This > http://deals.woot.com/deals/details/a4e3302b-48d9-4118-a914-957f9c3bf580/to-err-is-human-t-shirt#0 shirt deal posted by @belyndag yesterday totally fits you! Anyways, thanks again.
Yes, and thanks @jumbowoot! The email didn't specify the coupon code, so I'll just try every word in the email until I maybe get it right :-)
