2. USE CODE AUG25 TO GET AN EXTRA 25% OFF SHIRT.WOOT ORDERS
How to get the shipping deal:

@RiotDemon
This is not part of the Woot-Off.
/wootstalker https://sellout.woot.com/offers/nightmare-on-elm-street-freddy-krueger-1
Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy Krueger…
Price: $25.89
Condition: Probably New
@PlacidPenguin not sure what I’d do with that?
@RiotDemon
How about this?
/wootstalker https://sellout.woot.com/offers/freddy-krueger-3d-wallbreaker-horror-1
Freddy Krueger 3D Wallbreaker Horror…
Price: $86.75
Condition: Probably New
@PlacidPenguin still don’t know what I’d do with it.
(Not from the Woot-Off.)
Anybody have any thoughts about this (other than the obvious)?
/wootstalker https://home.woot.com/offers/seagate-mobile-2-5-1tb-portable-hard-drive-3
Seagate Mobile 2.5" 1TB Portable Hard Drive
Price: $39.99
Condition: Refurbished/Not New
@PlacidPenguin Not enough savings to justify a refurb (IMHO).
@PlacidPenguin Right now it’s killing the Woot-off.
/wootstalker https://shirt.woot.com/offers/satire
Satire
Price: $15.00
Condition: Probably New
@PlacidPenguin I hope I don’t need to do any cleanup come morning.
@narfcake
So far only one comment.
@narfcake
Things are escalating
actuallyas was expected, although TT is there.@PlacidPenguin Sold out.
@narfcake So how do you have any time in your life if you moderate here and on woot?
@Kidsandliz @narfcake what do moderators do, actually? I’ve never understood
@Kidsandliz @moonhat @narfcake
They do it all. Just in moderation.
@PlacidPenguin Annnd… I slept late and missed this. Hecky darn.
@OldCatLady @PlacidPenguin I bet you can buy one for $3 more. There’s a 25% off coupon for shirts today if you really want to piss off people in public.
@ACraigL
@Kidsandliz I don’t spend much of any more time than I would otherwise. If a post has been tattled on (Woot) or I’m tagged (meh), I’ll take care of it … when it’s convenient.
@moonhat Delete spam, delete spam, delete spam, fix posts, delete spam, hand out probations, delete spam …
@ACraigL @Kidsandliz @narfcake doooood. That does not answer my question. Seriously though? What do mods do?
@ACraigL @Kidsandliz @moonhat
@narfcake pretty much said everything which he does as a mod.
@ACraigL @Kidsandliz @narfcake @PlacidPenguin ah ok I see that now. Got it. Thanks!
@ACraigL @Kidsandliz @moonhat @narfcake @PlacidPenguin Don’t forget those huge commission checks that roll in for moderators.
@ACraigL @Kidsandliz @moonhat @PlacidPenguin @therealjrn Vol.mods get all $0 of it!!
/image $0 sign
@ACraigL @Kidsandliz @moonhat @narfcake @therealjrn
Volunteer mods here get nothing.
Or at least that’s what @Ignorant believes.

/wootstalker https://sellout.woot.com/offers/sphero-r2-d2-app-enabled-droid-5
Sphero R2-D2 App-Enabled Droid
Price: $39.99
Condition: Refurbished/Not New
@PlacidPenguin Already have one but thanks.
@sammydog01
That’s the problem; you only have one.
@PlacidPenguin I have it’s fraternal twin R2Q5 too.
@sammydog01 Now you’re just showing off…
The Woot Off! Sphero R2-D2 App-Enabled Droid is $40.
@OldCatLady Everyone should go out and buy one!
I really hope they sell crap soon so I can go prime the damn walls.
@sammydog01
Haven’t they been doing that the last 10 hours and 34 minutes?
@PlacidPenguin Point taken.
I feel like people are missing the point of Woot Offs.
It’s not to try getting a BoC.
Rather, the point is to buy (more) stuff you don’t want or need.
@PlacidPenguin That happened last night. Only it wasn’t on Woot. Or meh.
(Finally took the plunge and got a new mountain bike.)
@narfcake @PlacidPenguin My kid is at mountain biking camp this week- he loves it.
@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 No camp for me; I’ll be in it for fitness. This will be my second bike and one I’d take onto the trails:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Redline-Zander-Mountain-Bike-Blue/109033626
I’m currently riding this:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Redline-Bikes-Alpine-Comfort-Bike-15-SM-Frame-Dark-Green/582943775
Both have been on clearance. I believe it was a concept of expanding out of their main BMX market with bikes from Accell’s (the parent company) other brands. In this case, it looks to be a Diamondback Overdrive with a different paint job.
https://smile.amazon.com/Diamondback-Bicycles-Overdrive-Mountain-Green/dp/B07378964Y/
I don’t mind buying almost the same bike for less than a third of the price.
Also I think they want to stick to selling at local bike shops instead of big box stores.
@narfcake Yup, it’s an Overdrive ST. Decent Shimano driveset. Personally I’m not a fan of the Shimano Altus shifters, but it’s a fair price for what you’re getting.
BTW, that Amz link lists the Overdrive ST at $600. It’s $500 MSRP and $250 in most bike shops in my area.
@ruouttaurmind This being SoCal, it probably won’t be only $250 at a LBS.
It is a step up from the typical “mountain” bike at a big box store. For one thing, I could buy a frame sized to fit me. And it doesn’t weigh 40+ pounds.
This Woot-off is a real snoozer.
@ruouttaurmind I bought another microUSB card because I keep buying things that need them, but otherwise it’s pretty boring. Am I correct in thinking there haven’t been any BOCs?
@sammydog01 Haven’t seen any in the last 6 hours.
@sammydog01 I believe that’s so. No sign of BOC yet. I don’t think I’m eligible anyway since I got one on the 12th of last month.
@ruouttaurmind @sammydog01 I’m leaning towards no BOCs this round, as there’s no new discussion thread in the main woot forum.
@narfcake @ruouttaurmind No BOCs and not much fun stuff- guess it’s time to go paint.
@ruouttaurmind TT said there will be no Happy Hour, either.
@OldCatLady @ruouttaurmind
Of course though, @Del doesn’t have a penguin calendar, and she has gotten her months mixed up.
@OldCatLady @ruouttaurmind I do like happy hour even if I don’t get a coupon.
@OldCatLady @ruouttaurmind @sammydog01
It gives me something to do in the evenings.
@narfcake @ruouttaurmind @sammydog01
I’ll gladly send a box of junk to any of you for the same price as a BoC costs.
@narfcake @PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind @sammydog01 I was supposed to get a free BOC, for um…er…reasons. Can you cover that for me?
@PlacidPenguin Do you take Amazon Prime shipping?
@therealjrn
I don’t just hand my junk out to anybody who just asks.
@sammydog01
By that, do you mean that you’d sponsor a month of Prime for me?
@PlacidPenguin The free trial? Most definitely.
@sammydog01
Yeah, that’s long gone. And so have several other nice options.
@PlacidPenguin Do you handle your junk much?
@therealjrn
Ultimately, what I do with my junk is nobody else’s business.
@sammydog01
But sure, I can take Prime shipping.
Don’t forget that the cost of the BoC was adjusted because of Prime shipping.

How To Shirt
Price: $15.00
Condition: Probably New
They omitted my byline. @narfcake?
@ACraigL First purchase all woot-off.
(Alas, I don’t have that much power there to change that part.)
@Barney
This is even more purple than the other pillow I mentioned.
/wootstalker https://sellout.woot.com/offers/lilipi-brand-rainbow-llama-cat-pillow
LiLiPi Brand Rainbow Llama - Cat Pillow
Price: $17.99
Condition: New
@PlacidPenguin I’m going out on a limb here, but let’s do some @Barney-bot math:
@Barney doesn’t like horses
Llamas are vaguely similar to horses
Ergo, @Barney doesn’t like llamas?
But then there’s the cat factor. I have no clue if @Barney likes cats, but if so, that may be enough to cancel the evil influence of the Llamahorse.
OTOH, I really have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m just trying to stay awake through this snoozer of a non-event.
@PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind
I do like purple donkeys.
Edit: Um, I haven’t been following this Woot-off.
@Barney @PlacidPenguin @ruouttaurmind There’s a Woot-off going on?
@therealjrn Yeah, there’s a Woot-off, but this time, I’ve just decided to sit here and count my money instead of spending it.
@Barney
Buy a money counter from Woot next time they sell one.
I hope there’s not more than one of these or we’ll be waiting a LONG time for the next item.

This deal is currently sold out
Never mind I got an answer over there. Two actually.
@sammydog01 Good question, but then again all the designations on the microSD cards confuse me.
@raccoon81 I know, right?
@raccoon81 @sammydog01
Thankfully there are charts to compare the ratings.
@PlacidPenguin @raccoon81 Who has time to look at charts during a Woot-off?
@sammydog01
Or you could have just looked at the specific product details.
Which reminds me: Did you prime your walls?
@PlacidPenguin NOOOOO!!! Maybe after dinner.
@sammydog01
Today?
@sammydog01
Don’t make me stop what I’m doing to drive over there and do it for you.
@PlacidPenguin Definitely after tonight’s dinner. Maybe not today though.
@PlacidPenguin You do painting @Fluffy? Are you near Tulsa?
@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 I just bought the white one and figured I could cancel later. Worse case I use it in one of the 12 cameras I got from final fuko’s
@PlacidPenguin @raccoon81 @sammydog01 The white choice is the best choice.
/oh wait, I’m in the wrong thread. I’m supposed to be in the Alex Jones thread.
/satire. Am I doing it right?
No crap after the squatty potty- I have stuff to do.
@sammydog01 The squatty potty is supposed to help you crap.
@sammydog01 @therealjrn
Well so does prune juice.
@PlacidPenguin @therealjrn If they sell prune juice I’ll check back.
@sammydog01 @therealjrn
You need prune juice?

@PlacidPenguin
I have a headache.
WHAT? THERE’S A THUNP BLUETOOTH HEADPHONE ON THE APP?
I could never endorse Thunp headphones! Fascism!
Sad!
@therealjrn
I don’t “get it”.
._.
@PlacidPenguin It’s “satire” PP.
@PlacidPenguin When are you coming to paint?
@therealjrn
I still don’t “get it”.
@PlacidPenguin Well getcher ass over here and paint. That might clear your head.
@therealjrn
I have never owned a donkey.
@PlacidPenguin @therealjrn As soon as he’s done paining here- ladies first.
@sammydog01
Who?
(This is not from the Woot-Off.)
Look what’s back.

@PlacidPenguin That seems stupid.
@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 I remember seeing this over a year ago. I don’t understand it. If I’m going to take the time to write stuff down, I don’t want to erase it.
@PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon It says it stores the image on the cloud or something. I still think it’s weird. And kinda cool too.
@PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon @sammydog01 $15 cool, not $45 cool.
I bought a box of Sharpies. Yay?
@sammydog01 Any purple?
@Barney Nope just black.
@sammydog01 You got robbed.
@sammydog01 I bought the markers too. Only thing I have gotten from them all day.
@sammydog01 I almost did, but I figured they’d either dry out or get lost before I used them all. Sharpies are pretty cheap.
@craigthom I bought a 12-pack last year. By the time I got to the last 4 they were pretty dried up.
Who else has been enjoying this Woot-Off?
@PlacidPenguin I miss happy hour.
@sammydog01
Well I miss buying stuff.
@PlacidPenguin Did you not see the Sharpies?
@sammydog01
I did. I contemplated them, but not nearly as much as I did regarding R2D2.
@PlacidPenguin Not enough catshirts.
/unblame for less money spent.
@Lichme is unblamed for less money spent.
@narfcake
Fine. Buy 3 of the drone which is up now, and then donate them or put them in recycling bins.
@PlacidPenguin
