ACK! cross your fingers!!!
I think I got a bag of crap on woot! I actually got all the way to the order processing page (a miracle, you have four pages before you get to that and their servers get massively overloaded with BOCs).

ACK THE SUSPENSE! MUST HAVE BAG OF CRAP!

I got one last year on Christmas day (they always have one, but you have to set your alarm). It was awesome!

This year I think I hit snooze, because I woke up a few minutes later when it went off again

And my order is still processing....the stress!

These pearls are kind of nice...I could use some pearls...hrmm....

Via wikipedia:

Bag O' Crap

In lieu of typical product sales, Woot occasionally offers a fukubukuro-like blind grab bag officially called "Random Crap". Its accompanying picture has lent it the name "Bag O' Crap" (BOC). The BOC sells for $1.00 but users are advised to buy the maximum of 3. The BOC typically includes dollar store items and may include significantly more expensive items such as large flat-screen televisions.[7] The BOC typically triggers the flooding and subsequent overload of Woot's servers with thousands and thousands of order requests. The available BOCs typically sell out within seconds. Processing a customer's order for a BOC, assuming he or she is first lucky enough to get one before everyone else, may sometimes take over an hour.

Bacon salt is always a bad thing, it means the end of the wootoff

You can tell it is a wootoff if there are flashing lights. Stupid bacon salt is taking forever.

Woot is a one deal a day type of web-site. I've gotten alot of great deals from there. Sometimes they sell a bag of crap. No info or details. You just plunk down your money and hope for some pretty decent crap. It's a great site to check daily. Woot.com and Dealsea.com.

Indeed.

I won't know what I get probably for another two weeks, since SmartPost is so slow.

The anticipation!
