Break out your 12-packs of Diet Dr. Pepper and smash that F5 for shit you wouldn't buy anyway, but love to watch other people do so. It's the Woot-off*, a favorite of our little community these past few months.

I am not ashamed to say I sometimes wear the shirt I originally bought to resell on eBay. I cannot resist screaming monkey advert clothing.

*What the hell am I talking about? www.woot.com you trollop!

    Hey that wine woot they have is pretty tempting. Four Francis Coppola bottles for $45? They run like $15-20 a bottle here.

    I'm always leery of items like this surround sound system that don't generate any results on google except for woot.

    Real men don't bother refreshing because they've got an app or plugin that tracks new woots for them and then alerts them.

    Nope, just a huge fuck who thinks Achewood is funny.

    Even though I don't think Achewood is funny...at all. At least this one was relevant to my comment about roombas and my cats.

    I think a roomba may be useful around my house, are they just robot floor sweepers? But then again a broom does the same thing if all they do is sweep.

    Yeah, I just made a huge credit card payment, otherwise I'd be buying one of these roombas. I've got hardwood floors, and they're impossible to keep clean when you have two cats.

    dysons are pretty swank

    they warn you right in the instructions that the first time you use it you will be horrified at how much crap it finds

    "this is normal"
