@baqui63 no my post was right because I believe I posted the message that I got a sold out on one device and a paused until 8 am (tomorrow) before 12 midnight as I am in CST so it was still yesterday when I posted that not in EST which would have been TODAY
@AttyVette Ah. Yes, I keep forgetting that there are parts of the country that use other time zones.
Though I’d say your post is still incorrect, since you stated “8:00 AM” and not “7:00 AM” (in one case you use CDT and another you use EDT). However, perhaps you are using “8:00 AM” not as a time, but rather as a name for the 8:00 AM EDT release of product.
Time zones can cause all sorts of crazy things, though this blog post is one of the crazier ones of which I’ve read.
@baqui63 yes sir 8 am was for the listed EST zone that meh used for the product re-release ( aka un-paused sale) the next morning…but for me, of course, it was 7 am CST – btw thanks for the interesting link about time zones…that was crazy
I’ve been going to my desktop all week, and the one day I don’t…
Besides, I’m still staring at certain things from Fuku 11 whichever weren’t touched yet, along with a big box which is waiting for the next Meherican Exchange.
@TickledLizard @ELUNO
The other thing I was doing, besides staring at my fantasy teams in despair, was trying to see if my profile page would load on any d device and browser or computer and browser.
It would not. No. Nada. Nein.
Crashed or locked up s bunch of them tho.
@TickledLizard, congrats on your Spartan purchase record. Should kinda seriously emulate.
Why are you using the plural of that word?
I only have had one other name. Any other name was not mine, but other people, although I know who they are.
@narfcake
Well, then, I offer an official welcome to the Society of Wearers of Catshirts!
Our society was founded long ago, and the origins are shrouded in the mist of time - according to most legends and tales, the founder was @narfcupcake.
@TickledLizard
Regarding the owners of those other identities besides @FroodyFrog - I am assuming you kept your friends very very very close, and your enemies that much much much closer?
In my life friends (even those I speak with less than once a year at times) provide various highly significant bennies that I would not know how to get elsewhere, an I’m reasonably resourceful.
The biggest obvious bennies are long term being interested and connected, having gotten way way past worrying about weirdness, and from those two plus time, having deep and profound acceptance, affection, generosity, and perspective. And no one who didn’t pass beyond co-worker or acquaintance or sometime companion or person w interests in common into true friend territory can offer anything even in the same universe of depth and quality.
And there are profound bennies hard to put into words.
But my world is my world. Don’t intend unwarranted generalization. Pls forgive if I seemed to imply that my experiences might apply to yours.
@jimpper and when your payment bounces what should they do for the guy who didn’t get one because they denied him? Reserving stock prior to transaction completion is always a mess, the current system works, first mouse to the cheese gets to feast.
@jimpper Eh, thats the second time I’ve had a checkout page for this fuko but couldnt go through. Bigger problem for me was performance, the page loaded but some scripts obviously didnt, couldnt get checkout for a while
@sammydog01 I have a little bother… I mean brother. Technically it means they love the midnight crowd half again as much since they gave them an extra third just to themselves.
Now it says paused again.
The item description says they’ll be selling more later, so…
The switch has been tripped…
If you read the description, the answer lies within…

I still never bought that T-shirt. Although now that I lost 66.6% of my T-shirt collection this week…
@TickledLizard Bad divorce settlement?
@AttyVette Wouldn’t that be 8:00 AM TODAY?
@TickledLizard Well you can’t buy it anymore anyway; it’s been retired.
@narfcake
![:(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)
Woot should have a “revive the shirts that require special printing” sale every so often.
@f00l Woot does. TeeTurtle, not so much.
@narfcake
Qwertee has it, as mentioned here, but then again, there’s this. Oh well. I guess my T-shirt collection has passed its max size.
@narfcake
Pls notify here when Woot does, if you feel like it.

@AttyVette
Nope on one point. Wasn’t ST anywhere hereabouts 'cept crazy places like AZ.
All that ET and CT was EDT and CDT cause Fuck Ben Franklin even tho I really really love him.
So I am messing with my Fantasy League and this comes up.
The Fuck You Fuko.
Ok. Didn’t get one.

@TickledLizard Does that include your previous identities like @FroodyFrog?
@TickledLizard I’ve bought 14 things so far…
@OldCatLady
Why are you using the plural of that word?
I only have had one other name. Any other name was not mine, but other people, although I know who they are.
@TickledLizard I’m guessing plural because today is the first time I’ve worn a catshirt.
@narfcake
Well, then, I offer an official welcome to the Society of Wearers of Catshirts!

@TickledLizard is THIS why you’ve been making a list? i was hoping for something awesome.
@TickledLizard
@katylava
Got a Little List?
@katylava
Of course it’s not why I’ve been making a list.
If I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it right.
@f00l
I don’t have friends.
And no, that’s not a joke.
@TickledLizard
K. But those Friend thingies have their uses.
Do those of us here get to be “internet frenemies”?
@f00l
Not sure what a “friend” could provide me with which I can’t get from someone who isn’t a “friend”
@TickledLizard
Well … To each his/her own preference.
In my life friends (even those I speak with less than once a year at times) provide various highly significant bennies that I would not know how to get elsewhere, an I’m reasonably resourceful.
The biggest obvious bennies are long term being interested and connected, having gotten way way past worrying about weirdness, and from those two plus time, having deep and profound acceptance, affection, generosity, and perspective.

What the <bleep>, meh! If you’re gonna give me a checkout page, the least you could do is make sure I get the Fuku. Argh!
@jimpper and when your payment bounces what should they do for the guy who didn’t get one because they denied him? Reserving stock prior to transaction completion is always a mess, the current system works, first mouse to the cheese gets to feast.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@jimpper Go ahead and slap @jbartus around for that comment- we won’t mind.
@sammydog01 where do you know of that reserves stock for non-complete orders that isn’t a mess? O_o
@jbartus
@sammydog01
At least @jimpper is an early bird for Talk Like A Pirate Day.
Sadly, being virtuous in other areas doesn’t get someone a fuku.
@jimpper Eh, thats the second time I’ve had a checkout page for this fuko but couldnt go through. Bigger problem for me was performance, the page loaded but some scripts obviously didnt, couldnt get checkout for a while
@MrGlass I’m sorry, I didn’t know you had performance issues. They have little blue pills for that.
@jbartus My theory is that @snapster was bored and decided to have some fun with inventory levels.
@OldCatLady he’s stated since day one that it’s all an experiment.![:P](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)

Points deducted for occasional MBA-speak.
They saved two thirds of the inventory for the morning crowd- do any other midnight regulars feel unloved?

/giphy unloved
@sammydog01 surely you got one at midnight then! I fail to see the issue. ;P
@jbartus That’s not the point- they love them just as much as me when they should love me more. You must not have siblings. My kids would understand.
@sammydog01 I have a little bother… I mean brother. Technically it means they love the midnight crowd half again as much since they gave them an extra third just to themselves.![;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==)

This is why i can’t have nice things.
@james_hardiman Well then fortunately you didn’t get a fuko because for the most part that won’t be full of nice things… just sayin’
At 5:50 it still says sold out? What gives? I hate this site and I’ll never buy anything again from Woot!
@Kevin i guess that doesn’t leave you many shopping options

I just wanted to update you all, it is sold out.
