@tinamarie1974 Cool! It’s great on real bean vanilla ice cream! I still have 3 bottles put up. It would have been just 2, but my good friend and neighbor went and died on me before I gave it to her…shit.
Hold yer people close folks. You never know when you’ll never see them again.
@f00l@therealjrn@tinamarie1974 Grilled peach halves drizzled with a mixture of white balsamic vinegar and honey, very lightly dusted with cinnamon. Don’t forget to include a scoop of good vanilla ice cream.
@f00l@rtjhnstn@therealjrn@tinamarie1974 I marinate those peach halves in a Jack Daniels/honey mixture before grilling. Damn good on top of a good vanilla ice cream…
Fuck woot. Just tried to buy the General Grievous figure and it wouldn’t let me log in via my Amazon account. Then it kept giving redirect errors. The site just plain sucks. Other than a rare shirt, it’s not worth bothering with anymore.
@cinoclav I have not been able to log into woot via amazon on my laptop for months. I don’t know why it irritates me so much, but it does. Yet, I do nothing about it.
@mossygreen It irritates me when it wanted to charge me $6 for shipping. I tried several times to log out and back in under Amazon and the item sold out.
@cinoclav@mossygreen Have y’all tried clearing your cookies and temporary internet files? If you’re using any blockers such as uBlock Origin or AdBlock, have you tried temporarily disabling them or whitelisting woot.com?
Strange twist of timing. I had been a OG VMP for about four years or so. Three weeks ago I cancelled my VMP. So I didn’t really pay attention to the Mehrathon for fear I’d see something I needed and would be on the hook for shipping or membership for at least another month (I did wind up with an IRK, so ya, I’m on the hook for membership for the next month).
My Amz Prime membership expired yesterday. Today, a Woot-off. Again… I’ll be on the hook for shipping or renewing Prime for a month. I better stay away from Woot today.
And of course I can’t resist the temptation. And of course there have been a couple things I wanted to buy. But probably only because I no longer get free shipping. What’s that saying about the heart wants what it can’t have?
@ruouttaurmind that stream deck is a neat piece of gear. I set up a system with the mini a while back and like it. Guess I’m glad I didn’t see it in a wootoff or I’d have one coming too.
@sammydog01 Let’s see…I got a hand mixer, @ruouttaurmind’s Crayoloa brush-tip markers, 3 literary posters, a color changing Woot! mouse, a 2016 Hess toy truck & dragster, a sharpening steel, a Barbie Dream House toy box & playmat, and of course, a bag of crap.
@sammydog01 It was nice seeing him. He was bitching about the new forums LOL. The new forums are very different, but not too hard, once you get the hang of them.
If you go quickly you can see everything they’re selling all at once!
From @lichme:
@sammydog01 hhuuummmm I don’t see that. Can you post the link?
@tinamarie1974 It’s not a link- check the editing in green. They released the links for everything all at once by accident.
No, but I was not expecting it.
/giphy surprise meh rathon
@therealjrn FYI, your fancy balsamic vinegar is up next. I might get a bottle to give it a try since you like it so much
@tinamarie1974 Cool! It’s great on real bean vanilla ice cream! I still have 3 bottles put up. It would have been just 2, but my good friend and neighbor went and died on me before I gave it to her…shit.
Hold yer people close folks. You never know when you’ll never see them again.
@therealjrn very true, sorry for your loss.
Just snagged the vinegar. I will let you know what I think.
Thanks, @tinamarie1974. I think you’ll like it! It’s like a wonderful, adult syrup.
*do not use like syrup
@therealjrn ooohhhhh that would be gross
/giphy yucky
@therealjrn @tinamarie1974
Balsamic vinegar on real vanilla bean ice cream?
That’s so wacky that I might have to try it.
@f00l @tinamarie1974
Yes. ^^^THIS^^^
But just the good balsamic and premium ice cream. Not the cheap Aldi vinegar.
@f00l @therealjrn no it sounds amazing. I will be trying it with fresh strawberries on top!
@f00l @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 Grilled peach halves drizzled with a mixture of white balsamic vinegar and honey, very lightly dusted with cinnamon. Don’t forget to include a scoop of good vanilla ice cream.
@f00l @rtjhnstn @tinamarie1974
What sorcery is this then?
@f00l @rtjhnstn @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 I marinate those peach halves in a Jack Daniels/honey mixture before grilling. Damn good on top of a good vanilla ice cream…
@andrewkl @f00l @rtjhnstn @therealjrn that sounds delicious! Wonder how quick that vinegar will deliver?
Checking my liquor cabinet and spice rack…hhuummmm…
@f00l @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 try it with some lark’s vomit! Incredible tastescapes, friends…
/image tastescapes
KuoH
@f00l @therealjrn @UncleVinny uummmm if they call it vomit…
@andrewkl @f00l @rtjhnstn @therealjrn O M G that is the most delicious balsamic vinegar I have ever tasted!!
Clickey clickey…updating shopping list to add strawberries and vanilla bean ice cream…maybe some italian bread…
@andrewkl @f00l @rtjhnstn @tinamarie1974
Riiiiight?
@andrewkl @f00l @rtjhnstn @therealjrn OMG, yes! Never questioning you again!
@andrewkl @f00l @rtjhnstn @tinamarie1974
Oh, let’s not go that far lol. I can be pretty sketchy on occasion.

@cinoclav They’re just having an off day.

@sammydog01 They’ve been having an off day since @snapster sold them.
@cinoclav Well, yeah, of course. I mean, I can go and get my phone where it works perfectly, but why do I have to?!
@cinoclav @mossygreen Have y’all tried clearing your cookies and temporary internet files? If you’re using any blockers such as uBlock Origin or AdBlock, have you tried temporarily disabling them or whitelisting woot.com?
i’m hoping they sell the Bubba’s snack mix. that stuff was awesome.

@ruouttaurmind So what did you buy?
@sammydog01 The Midland radios. And the Crayola brush-tip markers. And the Elegato Stream Deck. <sigh>
I can quit buying stuff any time I want! I just don’t want to right now.
@ruouttaurmind that stream deck is a neat piece of gear. I set up a system with the mini a while back and like it. Guess I’m glad I didn’t see it in a wootoff or I’d have one coming too.
@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01
/giphy I feel your pain.
@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01
Me too!
after $142 yesterday
@therealjrn Ooh, what did you get?
@sammydog01 Let’s see…I got a hand mixer, @ruouttaurmind’s Crayoloa brush-tip markers, 3 literary posters, a color changing Woot! mouse, a 2016 Hess toy truck & dragster, a sharpening steel, a Barbie Dream House toy box & playmat, and of course, a bag of crap.
See? Hardly anything.
@ruouttaurmind @therealjrn I have a giant pile of Hess trucks I need to do something with. One of my kids needs to get a place with an attic some day.
No
…a lot of gun holsters for sale (to me at least).
Should I be preparing for something??
@elimanningface Not for Texas. lol They must sell a lot of gun supplies because they have been putting them up sale on the regular.
I’ve had better luck at shopgoodwill.
Won a $8.99 bid on a “fintie” tablet. Except that’s the name of the case and they only make cases for some very popular brands.
Popped $10 and got a Sony mic that goes for $99-$149 used!
Who wants crap? PM me. Eligibility rules apply.
@therealjrn
(I presume what you are hinting at:)
There is a “special boc” offer at woot today.
The history is here:
https://forums.woot.com/t/my-last-day-as-cto-of-woot-last-day-pranking-bocs-oh-my/527504
I suppose one has to puzzle it out (or ask someone who hinted) to know more.
Thx, @therealjrn. Even if I don’t need more stuff right now.
@f00l correct. No takers tho, too bad. Maybe I’ll just send Mr. Whisker’s special biscuits.
@therealjrn
Maybe some interest this evening?
Afternoon I think everybody is either grumpy and working or else they’re taking a nap if they’re really lucky
@f00l Oh, maybe it’s for the best. Eligibility rules knocks a lot of the regular Wooters out anyway.
And it’s kinda spoiling the fun just to hand over the link. Here’s @wajeremy’s picture from his band a few years ago as a consolation prize. lol
By the way if any old Wooters out there remember Rogetray he was back visiting yesterday. You can go say Hi to him.
@sammydog01 It was nice seeing him. He was bitching about the new forums LOL. The new forums are very different, but not too hard, once you get the hang of them.
