In for 2. The bounce made me do it. No, I was probably going to do it anyway. But now I'm in. so, yippee!

Especially looking forward to the mystery bottles.

And I'm hoping that according to the Summer Shipping rules, this will not ship this week, but wait till next Monday. it's supposed to be 99 here the next two days, meaning it will be over 100 along the stretch of I-5 North from California which the UPS truck travels.

Any South Floridian wooters out there? I would love to be part of a tasting...

Kbiehl, check your PMs!

Just booked my sky dive for Saturday! Wooot!

Thanks, and OK, I'll admit it; I put that in there just to needle you a little bit!

Actually, no. If you go back to SB's original message, he actually used "Hoovers". No woot filter involved.

I've always disliked the term sky dive. Sky is kind of a romantic notion of the atmosphere. I like the term Tropospheric Drop. Or Tropospheric Plummet. Ooooooh, Tropospheric Tumble. That's the one I like

Enjoy! I did my first tandem jump in 2000. It was fun. I did it. And that's all I ever need to do. I have more items on my list to do. The toughest part for me was that first step. And the landing wasn't too fun since the guy was a foot shorter than I.

whoops. guess he just likes skipping to the punch.

Actually on Woot I would think the term would be dysons or roombas, as in it dysons to be you.

Last wooter to woot: andyduncan

The checks come in, the checks go out, SB plays pinochle on my snout... er, wallet... whatever...

I'm wondering what took him so long. Musta been short that $0.02 I owe him

YOU BET YOUR ASS I AM!!!

EDIT: not really. i just decided that my SIWBM would be of the Loweeel variety: there is a clear Wellington exemption clause.

i did say it was uber childish, did i not? i'll make amends w/ REDUNKULOUS PS in ten days...

With all the stats they keep, I wonder what % of this offer's buyers were first time wine.wooters who went for 3.

Sold out!

i was so CLOSE! to being responsible for the sellout, that is.

Did you buy three? If not, maybe that would've done it ;)

darlenee1 wrote:Did you buy three? If not, maybe that would've done it ;)

nah, that would have been easy: to do so w/ just ONE is an art form!

Newman...I go and get stuck doing work this morning and it goes and sells out. Oh well, just means more money for the crack habit.

how in the hell did this make a quality post? Methinks Gatzby and thepatch are friends...

Congrats Peter, though I am astounded this took this long to sell out. Of course 4,000 bottles of juice sold in three days isn't so bad.

Touche (don't know how to do that accent mark)

Okay where's the other rats. There should be a total of 6 out there, and we've heard from TWO. We're definitely missing some rattage.

Predictions, then, for tonight?

MaskedMarvel wrote:Predictions, then, for tonight?

Wellington 2 pack of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc with a third mystery bottle (a white wine one)

MaskedMarvel wrote:Predictions, then, for tonight?

Not really predictions, but hopes -

Marsanne, Sav Blanc, and Chard AND White Port - all Wellington of course.

Missed out on this one. I did get another delivery today that I wasn't expecting. Must be the wootoff wine.

MaskedMarvel wrote:Predictions, then, for tonight?

Marsanne, Sauv Blanc, and maybe Piqnique. I would love to see white port, but I highly doubt it. (Maybe would hate to see it, since I bought two while in CA, and it would come out cheaper on woot.)

Mystery white? I think not.

I will be glad to be wrong on both white port and mystery bottle.

I would really enjoy a port tonight. That would be nice. And since there has only been one port offering, I think it would be fair.

Again, we see the problem with the short timespan. People who do not ask not to be rats should be prepared to be one. Slackers!

Congrats SB!!! Glad I was in for two. Not very much of a MerLOT fan, but, this one sounds good.

Anyone wanna trade me their two Cabs for two Zins?

Come on...s.woot has trade offs all of the time...and i have a garage full of syrofoam wine shippers...

I forgot to ask them not to rat me, but hopefully WD remember that I'm in Cali for another week.

Touché! Thanks for the tip

Loweeel wrote:I forgot to ask them not to rat me, but hopefully WD remember that I'm in Cali for another week.

I seriously doubt that WD would forget that. I don't think you are to blame for the lack of reports. And even if you were, you would only represent 25% of the tardiness; three more would still be out there.

WTG on the sell out SB...but it's not like any of us didn't see it coming.

As for a guess to the new offer, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's not going to be a Wellington offer at all. They don't have the time to offer us new wine...they're still labeling 1000+ bottles of the quasi-Duke.

Maybe a food-related offering is coming up next.
