Random conversations about computer products

[autographedcat]

For those of you who have never seen it, Woot.Com is a website that traffics in a variety of items, usually selling one item per day at a large discount over normal retail. The stuff they offer tends by and large to be geek-tech oriented (computers, AV equipment, with the occasional oddkin tossed in for variety).

Tonight, while popping through, I saw this, prompting the following conversation:

kitanzi: What is that?
autographedcat: It's a computer accessory set shaped like frogs. See: keyboard, mouse, and speakers. Frogs.
kitanzi: They keyboard isn't shaped like a frog. No wait, it is.
autographedcat: Yeah, see - there's the eyes, and there's its little hands.
kitanzi: Roadkill frog, more like.
autographedcat: Maybe that's why the mouse and the speakers look so alarmed. <does South Park voices> "Oh my God, they killed Kenny!" "You BASTARDS!"

Don't every type on a frog.

They're disgusting.

Damn. Sold out.

I actually know somebody for whom that would've been a perfect gift. And only ten bucks...

Well, just because I think you're insanely cute, I went looking for another one:

Most retail outlets are reporting "Out of Stock", so if you really want that one, grab it.

That is so cute. I've love to see a penguin one. I'll have to search. thanks for sharing!

I can't decide if that's utterly adorably and I want it, or if it's terrifying and twisted...or possibly both.

My 3.5 year old would probably love it!

Hot Frogs On The... Desk?

They're NOT mutually exclusive by any means.

Thank you! All those eyes might beging to feel a little creepy after awhile but it is way cute. If I was actually running lynix I have to have one , as it is, I just want one. My Christmas list is getting way to long.
