Talking Husky Says "I Want One"

Friday, February 5th, 2010

We encourage all are readers and customers to get in touch with tidbits they think we might find amusing, but we were a little surprised that dedication to IWOOT has crossed over into the animal kingdom. That’s right: man’s best friend has started living the brand.

An animal-loving customer of ours has sent us this great video of her husky Loki saying “I Want One”… which obviously isn’t quite the whole of our website name, but what an effort! You can make up your own mind as to whether Loki is in fact spluttering out the hallowed phrase.

 

Our thanks go to Niamh for making her dog do such a thing, and videoing it as well. Impressive. We’d be over the moon if you managed to make Loki go the whole hog (or, indeed, the whole dog… ha ha ha…) and nail “of those dot com” as well, but for now this is ace!

Freddie Starr Ate My Go Go Hamster

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Recent reports across the papers tell us that the must-have product for the kiddy-winks this Christmas is the Go Go Hamster. A cute little thing that runs around under your feet and will keep the tiddlers happy until Boxing Day at least, it’s a massive phenomenon that looks set to make the weeks leading up to Christmas a bit of a headache for anyone with children and word ‘aaaah’ in their vocabulary.

The problem is that they’re near-impossible to get hold of. Like Buzz Lightyear and Tracy Island before them, the Go Go Hamsters are just too darn popular, with tales of pushy parents grabbing them as soon as they hit the shelves cropping up with increasing frequency this week. Heck, they even crashed the Toys R Us website.

We think we know where all those Go Go Hamsters have gone – and it’s not pretty. Remember this headline?

Freddie Star Ate My Hamster

Well, it seems that Mr Starr is up to his old tricks again. Reports have reached us (don’t ask us how, you don’t want to know) indicating that the comedian is up to his old tricks – apparently he can’t get enough of the furry little things, despite the complex wiring and electrical wizardry inside. When quizzed about the health and tastiness implications of such a technological snack, Starr could only comment: “All them wires, they’re like a pie filling to me…” as he wiped the microchips from his lips.

Things look set to get worse for Starr as his hapless PA is sent repeatedly into town to see if Tesco has had another delivery of Go Go Hamsters. There is a light at the end of the tunnel for any parents looking for a Go Go, however, as an alternative has surfaced right here at IWOOT. Just don’t tell Freddie Starr, we’re worried about what he might do.

IWOOT Goes To The Dogs

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Apologies for that title. But, for better or worse, a brave gaggle of IWOOT staff made their way to Wimbledon dog tracks to watch a load of boisterous animals race round and round in circles. And some greyhound races (ba-dum-chish!). Anyway, we gambled, we ate fast food, we saw the grizzled expressions on the sheepskin coat-wearing bet-takers, and some of us even came out with a profit. Dog names we appreciated included Skywalker Falcon, Lynn’s Friend and Granary Sparkle. How do they think them up? Sadly we didn’t get any pictures of the furry little Lewis Hamiltons, they were just too darn quick. 

You can rest assured that all of us in the pictures below are wearing the smiles of gambling addicts.

Paws For Thought

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

Thought you’d seen it all with the edible Rubik’s cube? This dog can hop like a rabbit, jump like a kangaroo and walk like a human. Faith (that’s the dog ) was trained on a love for peanut butter. It shows that we can all aim for the impossible when there’s something nutty involved. We’ve got a shipment of peanut butter arriving to see if we can get Jimbo to jump through hoops, so watch this space.

Dog Translator

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

I love Japan. So much so, me and Mrs Woot spent our honeymoon over there, scouring the electronic shops for weird and wacky gadgets. If only we’d come across this little diamond!

I would literally sell a kidney for a dog translator that worked – I don’t have a dog, but if I ever meet one on the street I’d like to be able to tell if they were mocking me. You have to watch those animals – they’re all waggy tail and pleased to see you one instant, and the next they’re down the park with their mates talking about that prat they met outside the supermarket. I just like to know where I stand before I scratch somebody behind the ear (which is a maxim to live by if ever I’ve written one).

Unfortunately Takara Tomy have no intention of releasing an English version of the translator so I will spending the best part of the next 8 months learning Japanese so I can finally put my ludicrous paranoia to rest and arm myself with some choice doggy quips for the next Alsatian who dares to shoot me a condescending look.

Bring your dog to work at IWOOT

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Richard, the head honcho at IWOOT, decided that the office was becoming far too stressful. So he decided to give us a treat and brought his best friend Nelly in to work. I’m hoping she becomes a regular feature in the IWOOT office as there really is nothing more relaxing than having a big soft furry bundle of happiness to stroke when the going gets tough.

Does anybody else bring their pet to work? Send your pics in to us and we’ll post them on the blog.

ModKat – Litter Tray for Kool Kats

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

If you’ve got a cat, then you’ll know what a litter tray looks like… it’s like a plastic filing tray full of grey gravel and probably sits in the kitchen somewhere right… WRONG.

ModKatThe ModKat is to litter trays what the iPod was to MP3 players. Aimed fairly and squarely at the design aware, apple using, aesthetic types, the ModKat is like a fully blown cat toilet, providing privacy and a level of hygiene not possible with the previous nasty plastic “in-box” type affair.

The Cat needs to jump in through the top of this thing, do “the business” and get out, a handy liner makes removal and cleaning very easy indeed.

You can pre-order this bad-boy litter tray on the ModKat website now, a snip at $180 and there’s even a discount code MODKAT20 to save $20
