apparently, not even getting up at 5am is enough to gain a woot.com bag of crap.

I'm currently in the mary gates commons working on a paper. The crazy methed out janitor cleaning the floors has his shitty 80s era boombox music turned all the way up, much to dismay of myself and the other students trying to work.

Looking at the stats it seems that they sold out in about an hour.

I'm curious as to what kind of crap they dish out in the BOCs...

yeah, apparently you have to be up pretty damn early (or, given the audience, up late) to get most of the deals.

woot.com is awesome, it's taking a simple idea and turning it into social engineering.

And the first half hour of the a BOC is generally the server being thrashed.

My Bag of Crap: a badly used 256MB MP3 player with an MTV logo, a 6' 6-pin to 6-pin firewire cable, and two Kensington priority pucks, plus a coupon with a code good for free shipping on my next woot.

Reminds me of when 107.7 used to do giveaways from their "Box of Crap". Sometimes t-shirts, sometimes a cd, sometimes an ancient fruitcake.
