What happens when I take the REMOVE tag out of my Woot Monkey?

May 30, 2012 6:36 PM

I got my first Woot Monkey (and I use the term Monkey loosely). He has a strip in his back that says REMOVE. What happens when I take it out? Why does he feel like he's wearing an armor? (not kidding). I don't know.

When you remove the tag, the monkey is then able to scream... thus making him a screaming flying monkey.

Don't touch that tag, under penalty of law!

Whatever you do, don't let him eat anything past midnight. Midnight WST (Woot Standard Time).

As in the description, the tag prevents the monkey from screaming like the tortured souls of the damned. Remove it at your own peril.

When you pull out the tag it sends a signal to Woot and they send you a free BOC.

You and the monkey enter a worm hole. Neither of you may return. It's your choice.

I remember doing just that - pulling out the tag, and the awful, wonderful screech. I was afraid I had ruined it forever.

If you ask my dog he'll tell you that removing the tag turns the monkey into his toy. Ok, he won't actually tell you, he is a dog. There are many dismembered woot monkeys around here. (Make sure they don't eat the batteries!)

That plastic tag sits between the battery and the metal contact. It acts as an insulator preventing the electricity from flowing. Remove the tag and you'll complete the electrical circuit allowing the monkey to scream. They put those plastic tags in there to save battery life until the product reaches the consumer.
It feels like it is "wearing armor" because there is a plastic housing inside that holds the battery (or batteries), speaker, and circuit board.

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.
