@f00l Ha, I was trying to order some latex foam gloves and it just popped up.
Nope, no Fuko here. As I said in my email, I just had to go to bed early, too tired to stay up for the Fuko. Yesterday was an exhausting day. A GOOD day, but exhausting.
@sammydog01 yeah I ran into one with their novel so called search that brings up nothing related. It was maybe 9am, only one bought and that was the night before at 11 or 12 or something. Thought that was odd. Just checked it is sold out now.
So what was the deal here? You click the go button and it kept pulling up random pages. I never saw crap. Did you just have to hit it a lot or something? I felt like I hit that thing a hundred times. Maybe I needed to hit it 200 times, lol
I tried every time someone had said crap was up, but never found it.
@RiotDemon Remember, it’s April Fools Day. So, this Woot search feature, no matter what you type into it, picks anything at random. Every couple of hours or more, it will pick a Bag of Crap. Getting one is just luck. Or you can keep clicking GO (you don’t have to type anything in the search box) until your wrist falls off and maybe you will get one. That is, if they have any left.
I got lucky (dumb luck) my first time because I thought it really was a new search feature.
@daveinwarsh Good boy. Oops, I got you mixed up with Pluto. (You don’t have to type anything into the search window, just hit the GO. The BOC will come up automagically.)
Just got BOC on woot…at least I have a better chance of getting crap from woot than meh…ya!!! Only took an hour on search feature so I know it’s really good crap as it took TIME to be crappy
The way it is set up is that when you go to that URL by pressing the “Go” button (or using a new tab, or pasting it into the URL line), refreshing keeps you on the same page.
My 4 year old loves those dumb blind bag toys, so naturally she shares my love of random crap. When I told her we’d be getting two mystery boxes in the mail soon, she said, “Are you serious?!” All excited and cute like. We can’t wait.
@medz Same. I mainly by the BOC’s (fuko doesn’t happen for me) for my kids. They love getting the box regardless of the crap inside. "We got a crap box!"
That brings me all the enjoyment I need for $10 bucks.
@medz@AttyVette@RiotDemon@mfladd@someRiverNoise Was planning to do it now but the fuko got in the way. What I am planning to do is wait until the reveal thread of the fuko dies down and then do the exchange. Makes no sense to do both at once. PS @mfladd it is hard to elect a goat who gets no votes at all or just one or two from the same couple of persistence people - might say the people have repeatedly spoken against (grin)
Not sure to thank or curse you. But I got one.
@MrMark All curses eagerly accepted.
Saw this just as it was posted. Now I have 2 sacks of questionable goods on the way.
I must of missed something. I kept trying an hour ago and it never came up.
It’s sold out again.
+1
Still up. Kinda crazy.
Edited: done now. Less crazy!
@Barney
How do you know about these things?
Did anyone you know get a Fuko?
@f00l Ha, I was trying to order some latex foam gloves and it just popped up.
Nope, no Fuko here. As I said in my email, I just had to go to bed early, too tired to stay up for the Fuko. Yesterday was an exhausting day. A GOOD day, but exhausting.
@f00l It is April Fools day- the Woot forums give the details.
@Barney letex foam gloves sound dirtyt
Had it my cart. Looked at wOOt for a second, and then pOOf - it was gone
@mfladd You snooze, you “looze”.
@mfladd considering the last few craps I got from them you should be smiling for the win…
Back to hoping they enjoy my searches
@snapster Haha, callback.
I got mine. Whee!
Crap is up.
@sammydog01 Oops, i didn’t see your post. Sorry.
@Barney That’s OK- yours is more obvious and people listen to you.
@sammydog01 Hahaha! If they listen to me, they are in a whole lotta trouble.
Crap is back!
@ACraigL Duh!
@ACraigL I heard already.
@ACraigL It’s funny how without twitter or Wootstalker crap lasts forever. You have to work for your crap people!
@sammydog01 And it’s a Saturday, not everyone’s staying home doing their taxes.
@sammydog01 yeah I ran into one with their novel so called search that brings up nothing related. It was maybe 9am, only one bought and that was the night before at 11 or 12 or something. Thought that was odd. Just checked it is sold out now.
FOr the first time I don’t give a shit aboiut crap. Thanks meh!
So what was the deal here? You click the go button and it kept pulling up random pages. I never saw crap. Did you just have to hit it a lot or something? I felt like I hit that thing a hundred times. Maybe I needed to hit it 200 times, lol
I tried every time someone had said crap was up, but never found it.
Maybe it’s best to not buy any more crap.

@RiotDemon Or watch the Woot forums- people will mention when it’s available.
@Barney I’m at work so I haven’t been able to stay constantly. Was clicking a lot before work, and then randomly when I had a few minutes.
They’d probably send me some outdated science books to go along with my outdated math books.
Ones that say Pluto is still a planet.
@RiotDemon @sammydog is right. You can go to the Woot community forum and they will often mention when one is available.
@RiotDemon But those are the best textbooks- I miss Pluto.
@RiotDemon Yeah, you have my kind of luck when it comes to BOC’s.
@RiotDemon Just got CRAP.
Typed in Bag Of Crap…
@sammydog01 @RiotDemon Yep, Pluto was such a good dog!
@Barney You need to tell my kids that I’m right once in a while.
@sammydog01 I’m staying out of your family arguments.
@RiotDemon Go! Go! Get your crap!
@RiotDemon Don’t know why I bothered but I got one too. Expecting the usual throwaways.
@Barney lol, I’m trying!
@RiotDemon That one went quick. Did you get one?
@Barney nope. Had to go back to work.
@RiotDemon boc is still available but it took me refreshing search feature on woot for an hour…finally got one!
CRAP ALERT on woot…
I typed Bag Of Crap
@daveinwarsh Good boy. Oops, I got you mixed up with Pluto. (You don’t have to type anything into the search window, just hit the GO. The BOC will come up automagically.)
@daveinwarsh Titles by you?
@cinoclav Yeah! That’s kinda cool…
Wrap Crap (Titles by daveinwarshington)
@daveinwarsh You did my crap title, too. Lap Crap.
@daveinwarsh That’s awesome
@mfladd A Fuko & a BOC the same day. Weird. Maybe I should go get a lotto ticket…
@daveinwarsh No fuko for me
Congrats on your luck.
@mfladd The Flap Crap is still up after 8 minutes.
SCORE!!!
/woot crap
@RiotDemon Got it? Nice.
@RiotDemon Aw gee, that’s too bad.
@daveinwarsh nope, just testing the system. Still didn’t find one.
@RiotDemon If you had complained earlier Snapster might have sent you his.
@sammydog01 lol, right??
@RiotDemon takes time…I tried for an hour and finally it showed up and I got one
@RiotDemon Crap alert!
Just got BOC on woot…at least I have a better chance of getting crap from woot than meh…ya!!! Only took an hour on search feature so I know it’s really good crap as it took TIME to be crappy
@AttyVette You were first sucker.
@Barney don’t think I was first nor will I be the last lol but thanks anyways.
@AttyVette No, seriously, it shows that you were the first sucker.
@Barney good to know that I am first at something …awesome
Crap alert!
Just got one.
Yay. After several years I finally got a BOC.
@someRiverNoise Is this your first?!
@mfladd
Yup.
I’d start making jokes about this being my “first time”, but I don’t want to go there.
@someRiverNoise Holy shit! Congrats!!!
But prepare to be underwhelmed for the most part. Still fun though
@mfladd
Still better than not getting something which I wasn’t even around for to not have a chance of getting.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Besides, I could have done a lot worse with $10.84
@someRiverNoise so did you get boc using the various open tabs or just refreshing search? Just curious…
@AttyVette
The “Go” button has one URL.
The way it is set up is that when you go to that URL by pressing the “Go” button (or using a new tab, or pasting it into the URL line), refreshing keeps you on the same page.
My 4 year old loves those dumb blind bag toys, so naturally she shares my love of random crap. When I told her we’d be getting two mystery boxes in the mail soon, she said, “Are you serious?!” All excited and cute like. We can’t wait.

That brings me all the enjoyment I need for $10 bucks.
@mfladd
I hope you plan on participating in the upcoming Mehxchange.
@someRiverNoise I AM! First one. I hope you people like old boc shit, with some surprises thrown in.
@mfladd hey when are y’all doing mehxchange??? I’m interested …

@RiotDemon thanks found the thread after I left here but appreciate the link!
@AttyVette @RiotDemon beat me to the link.
The date is still up in the air. Probably as long as @kidsandliz thinks it will keep her from being goat.
@medz @AttyVette @RiotDemon @mfladd @someRiverNoise Was planning to do it now but the fuko got in the way. What I am planning to do is wait until the reveal thread of the fuko dies down and then do the exchange. Makes no sense to do both at once.

@Kidsandliz
Glad you bought into the sleight-of-hand.
Just read the thread over there. What’s a stinker?
@Pantheist
Slinker - The part of Gollum which remembered life as Sméagol.
Stinker - The part of Gollum which was obsessed with the ring.
@Pantheist TT will put a joke gift into a box- it’s a pretty new thing.
@sammydog01 I see- thanks!
