lol, how long does this woot off last?

For the last hour or so, I've been glued to this thread and the woot website.

I'd like to actually go out and do something tonight

That's funny.

Last WOOT OFF, I hardly slept for almost three days. There were a few of us hard core nerds on the east coast that were here until 6AM two nights running... how sad are we? ;)

edit: to answer your question.... no idea. when WOOT decides it is over, it is over. Could be a few hours, or a few days.

I bought the dinosaur robot for a 5 year old. :)

However I then read its 32" long, so it might have to be pried from my cold dead hands first. :eek:

leave now before you are addicted. Woot offs last 24-72 hours. This woot off has gone about 36 hours i think.

Hmm, thinking about it, I might just get in some sweats when I get home, order delivery, and stick around until I spend quite a bit of money. I dont want to miss a good deal. I leave for Philly tomorrow with my gf for some health convention. I might just stay in the hotel room while she's at the convention and I'll keep monitoring this woot off on the laptop. :D

Yeah, it's really neat. It detects sound and has "vision." Depending on what mood you have it in, if you rub it's nose it will back away, or start biting, or nudge your hand. When it sees something move it tries to go after it, then it also has a remote control that allows you to control what it does.

Do they tell you?

no they are random syuff, things include priority pucks, coupons fro woot.com, stuffed pandas, barking stuffed dogs, toy machine guns, water pistols, hairbrushes, laptop bags(very bad ones), cat 5e cable, ski poles, cubicle doors, mp3 watches, broken and working cd players, basically random crap, though i think 1 person had hotten a big screen tv and another had gotten a xbox360 before.

personally, im in it for some stuffed animal toys for the gf. Hopefully i get 25 pandas like that one guy got.
