Wootcasts from the Past: TGIF Edition

[RSS FEED]

After over three and a half years of our daily podcast, we sure have a lot of episodes in the can. (Itâ??s where we do our best thinking.) Have you noticed how certain themes recur? We have! For example, grab hold of the common thread running through these five moldy oldies, which are all about everyoneâ??s favorite day of the work-week.

Enh, Itâ??s Friday; Screw It â?? We posted this love song to lethargy way back on August 17th, 2007. That makes it over one hundred Internet years old! We still regard the title/refrain as words to live by.

Almost the Weekend â?? Remember March 7th, 2008, when we sold a four-handset cordless phone? The worldâ??s largest ferris wheel was still making its first turns in Singapore, Senator John McCain had just won enough delegates to secure the Republican nomination, and the whole web was rocking to this unforgettable ditty.

Do The Friday Fake Work Fakeout â?? On April 4th, 2008, Wootcast listeners had their eardrums blistered by this all-time classic. Donâ??t work now, yâ??allâ??the weekâ??s almost done.

Friday, Baby â?? That business in the lyrics about November 14th, 2008 being the Woot podcast team leaderâ??s birthday? Thatâ??s 100% true. And if your birthday falls on a Friday, federal labor laws permit you to blow off work. (Thatâ??s less true, but donâ??t tell our manager.)

End Oâ?? Week Freakout â?? What? This oneâ??s just from May 29th, 2009! That was only a few days ago! What kind of â??Wootcast From the Pastâ?? is this?
