Yeah, I really don't understand the desire for Roombas. Maybe it will change once I get my own house, and it takes more than like 2 minutes for me to vacuum my entire living space.
It is a robot that does your housework for you.
It is not about it being some super functional thing, it is about it being a robot.
I'm hoping my roomba will help me keep the floor a little more clear than I have been lately.
Maybe I'll name it. Captain Suckington sounds like a good name.
Haha, I love the rules/restrictions on the wine.woot.com:
Rules and restrictions:
* Wine sold by winery (or a retailer in your state where necessary)
* You must be 21 or older to order
* Whoever receives the package must be 21 or older
* If you're drunk when the package shows up, you will not be allowed to receive it

Not to drag the thread OT but I bought one of those $500 Dysons a couple of years ago, too. That's probably the best $500 I ever spent. I have pets and it absolutely cuts through all of the hair/dirt they leave behind. Makes keeping my place somewhat clean so, so much easier.
A Roomba I can't really use - but a Scooba I would be all over.
good grief - $500 for a vacuum? it must have quite a lot of suck. You could buy a fleet of 5 of these roombas instead, and send them at each other, deathmatch style. I can't imagine how much better a $500 vacuum could possibly be than, say, a $100 or $150 one. If it somehow vaporized the dirt so that you didn't have to empty it out and clean it, I might be sold =p
edit: eww. wine. it's totally not going to sell. get comfy.
I'd get a Roomba for the novelty, but it would probably overload trying to figure out the layout of the house. It is a cross between a minotaur's labyrinth and an M. C. Escher painting.

yeah we were in a long standstill. . . who buys wine? cheap wine? on the internet? That just smacks of quality.
I really hope the bar on this one is stuck due to technical issues and not a lack of sales. The tracker I'm watching right now is estimating 38 hours left and going up by an hour around every two or three refreshes (3 refreshes a minute).
Edit: Thank god. Dropped down to 20% and 7 minutes left.
* 40% of all property damage is caused by water
* 70% of toxic mold is caused by water leaks and plumbing failures
* 1 of 3 insurance claims is for water damage
* 63% of all statistics are made up on the spot (not these, of course)
Also:
“You shut yuh mouth, Margie! You don’t know a blessed thing about football! We were gladiators, Margie! You could trust a man like you can trust an activated Leakfrog to emit an alarm for up to 48 hours or until turned off by the user!”
“Rock… I didn’t mean no harm, I was just…”
“You was just runnin’ yuh mouth, Margie! You want some statistics? How about this, how about 40% of all property damage is done by water!”
“No, Rock!”
“How about… how about 70% of toxic mold is caused by leaks or plumbing failures?”
“No, Rock! I’ll scream, I swear it, I’ll scream!”
“How about this, Margie, how about this one? One in every three insurance claims are for water damage, something the Leakfrog 2 Pack can warn a homeowner about!”
“Rock, oh Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock. What’s become of us, Rock?”
“What’s become of you, Margie? I’m the same person I always was. Maybe I just figured out what’s important.”
“What’s that, Rock? Just a bottle? I’m second best to a bottle? Rock… can’t you love me like you used to love me?”
“Just get out, Margie. Just get out and leave the Leakfrog 2 Pack. That’s all that matters now.”
For anyone curious the BoC I got from the last Woot off was a sweet little backpack and like 10 or 11 56k modem connecters for a cell phone. The backpack is cool though.
EDIT: Cool little cars... they should go quick.

PS3: MistaCreepy::Steam: MistaCreepy::360: Dead and I don't feel like paying to fix it.
Mother fuckers... So I chose to pay by paypal (I'm that lazy), and instead of going through my credit card like I wanted it to... The bastards take it out of my bank account instead. Fuck! I don't have that money in my bank account.
If I had money to burn I would buy those things, bundle them with liquor and beer, and sell them to fraternities for $10 each... on the promise that they would videotape the results and I would retain exclusive rights to selling the footage. It would make Jackass look boring.

You need to make them stop reading Achewood.
Haha, awesome. Now I want one.
EDIT: Oh Goddammit, just got the joke.
I still want one.
Even better.

And so the true people behind Woot are finally exposed.
This explains all of the roombas.
I have no idea what this is but its 2 bucks.
EDIT: Damn that was FAST.
Sorry... Venting. Please forgive this post.
Seriously, I just choked on my food.
That was fucking gold.
Great, now it's a fucking Rascal.
Shit, and there are like 20 of them in stock.
If I had the money I'd buy all the scooters to resell them. That price is seriously over half off of retail, and they're listed as new.
If I had the money I'd buy two and Joust with friends.
I bought 3 BOCs. I got a backpack, a folding pen/highlighter, a fake deck of cards that shocks you, and 2 wireless headsets for oXbox.
Basically, crap. :-)
