Our Forecast: Cloudy, with a Chance of Woot-Off

Curse you and your monkeys, Woot! We'll predict a Woot-off yet!

Editor’s Note: We had the post below all ready to go this morning, until we woke up this morning and discovered that there’s a Woot-Off in progress. We’re running the post below as an acknowledgement of just how much the folks at Woot have gotten in our heads. They’re always one step ahead!

So the last time there was a Woot-Off we retroactively bragged that we’d cracked the code, and predicted a Woot-Off for Tuesday. Since there wasn’t one then or yesterday either, we can’t really say we called it. That said, there’s a pattern, and one that’s been holding for the last six months or thereabouts. Like geologists at a volcano, we can’t tell you when a Woot-Off might come, but we can tell you that one’s overdue. Maybe we’re just too good and Woot is onto us? This might seem impossible, but we recently discovered that they’ve set up shop across the river from us in St. Louis. Woot is nothing if not sneaky, and we wouldn’t put it by them to be actively foiling our predictions, just because they can.

With that in mind, we officially retract our prediction (wink, wink). There’s absolutely no way there will be a Woot-Off any time soon (nudge, nudge).
