woot! Monkey Has Arrived!
Hooray! My
Woot!.com came a few days ago and I took some pictures for this mini review. Below are those images, hosted at
flickr. The thumbnails on the left are discussed below in order from top to bottom. Click them to head over to their flickr page to view them larger.
This parcel arrived in this condition, I did not sit on it in an attempt to open it. FedEx brought it a day later than they estimated for whatever reason. One can only assume that there was some sort of workplace improvised sport being played with my parcel. My guess it some type of full contact sport with little regard for the well being of the package(s) being used. But all was not lost, Woot! thought ahead and predicted such FedEx hijinks. They conveniently included this single plastic bubble padding for monkey safety. A word of caution to potential buyers: this product arrived dead. I can only assume that he was alive at some point, as they chose to handcuff him with his label. I am currently unaware as to if this monkey was killed during said
monkeyshine at FedEx or if this was by design. I was surprised at the size the Woot! Monkey, I had expected him to be just larger than my palm when in reality he is about the size of my forearm, minus hand. The coolest thing is his wrists are rubber tubbing to facilitate actual FAA certified commercial flight. Upon landing, the monkey begins to scream. This, of course, perplexes my dog. In review, for $1.99 plus $5 shipping, this Woot!.com product should deliver plenty of excitement!
