So, after a couple years of trying really hard to get a mythical Woot Bag of Crap, and cursing every time the stupid server of theirs would go down the instant the bag of crap came up for purchase, I’d given up hope.  But, a few weeks back there was a Woot off, and I was sitting in my office, and I saw that the current item ( a wireless mouse ) was sold out, so I hit refresh to see what the next item was, and HOLY SHIT IT’S THE BAG OF CRAP. ORDER! ORDER! ORDER!<\/p>\n

Except I was pretty sure I’d missed it again, since I did manage to enter in my CVC code for my credit card, and hit the confirmation button, but then the page timed out, so I was dejected.<\/p>\n

Except about 15 minutes later I saw that a bag of crap had appeared in my “Order summary”.  Woo!<\/p>\n

Here, without further ado, is the unboxing.  Starting with the box…<\/p>\n

Since it was only 5 lbs, and about 12″ along the largest side, I was pretty sure that it didn’t have a 60″ plasma display inside.<\/p>\n

As expected, none of those items are large plasma televisions.  Instead, they’re<\/p>\n

1.  A 10 function remote with a display.  Apparently I need a Windows machine to set it up.\"IMG_0460_2.jpg\"2.<\/p>\n

2. A Disney “Pirates of the Caribbean” phone \/ game holder, with a carabiner on the back side.<\/p>\n

3. A wired “Netbook” mouse, with a cord in a little retractable holder.<\/p>\n

4. A wireless mouse, in some kind of OEM packaging, so it might be Bluetooth or something else.<\/p>\n

Overall, not a bad haul for $8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
