Leo Turns This Turn The Table Tuesday Over To Jammerb!

Tuesday, April 20^th, 2010, Netcast 1072  

About an hour before midnight, March 31^st, Jammerb, otherwise known as TWiT John (John works at TWiT) sent me an email reminder that at midnight central time, the Woot April Fool’s game would begin. That’s the game where you may win a chance to buy Woot’s famous “box of crap” (a.k.a. “box of carp” for reasons I do not know.) The box of crap might be just that, stuff lying around the warehouse that’s almost worthless. Or it could be a bonanza of useful gadgets. So many people now know about the box of crap, Woot makes it more and more difficult to be able to buy it. But if you do win a chance to buy it, it is really CHEAP! This year it was just $3, plus their standard $5 shipping fee for anything they sell. That’s just a grand total of eight bucks; an amount just about anyone is willing to gamble. To win this past April Fool’s Day game you had to solve a crime. If you uncovered one clue, you were presented with another. If you ended up lost, or at a dead-end, you could go back one step, or start over. At least I think that’s how it went. I played for 25 minutes and kept getting completely lost. I finally game up. But TWiT John kept playing and in 30 minutes had won the right to buy a box of crap. He did buy it, but the Woot website was so busy, he didn’t get a confirmation that his money was accepted until about 40 minutes later. When John emailed me that he had indeed bought a “box of crap” I asked him to do me a favor. Once a box arrived to wait until a Turn The Table Tuesday to open it so we all could share in the excitement. That’s what John did. His box of crap wasn’t crap, but then again it wasn’t a box of high tech stuff like MP3 players & digital cameras that some people have gotten in the past. Here’s what John got:  

1 x High School Musical Decal Wall Clock

1 x pair of Woot-Off lights (These are mini-strobe lights, one red, one blue)

5 x boxes of Christmas cards

8 x metal toy tractors

John told me that while looking over the Woot forum he found a guy who received a pallet weighing over 1,000 pounds. It was stacked with 864 bottles of car wax! I think John got the better deal. I live in a small apartment! Here’s that winners video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89F-TOVQtrI
