Can h00t be far behind?

Looks like h00t was ahead of his time.

I'm thinking "pwn'd" is the next addition.  If you don't know what that means, ask your kid.  (Hint:  It sounds like "Poned")

Merriam-Webster's word of '07: 'w00t'

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Expect cheers among hardcore online game enthusiasts when they learn Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year. Or, more accurately, expect them to "w00t."

Is there no one here who has not wooted?

http://www.woot.com

Every day, there is a different bargain, always with a shipping fee of $5.00.
Lots of Roombas. On special occasions, the "woot bag o' crap" is a much-coveted prize. One may never order more than three anonymous 'bags o' crap"

I have not noticed that woot's regular shipping is any slower than Amazon's. Everything has arrived within 12 days, most in 10 or fewer.

I bought a computer case, an AM-FM MP3 tuner, and a trackball from them. All worked fine and were a bargain.
