Woot! Re: MidCities GTG

MrsTotty

Weather.com is predicting 75* and lots of sunshine for Saturday the 21st!!!

Let's hope it stays that way and we can have our GTG outside at the park!

Weeeeeeee!!!

Is woot! just something that caught on on this board?? I thought it was an Aggie thing.

That's Whoop!

Ahh, we NT Eagles only know "Caw Caw!!!" So what is "Woot!" ?

Actually, it's not even the NT 'Eagles' anymore ... the official mascot is the 'Mean Green' ... I'm not sure a color makes any noise ... And I have no idea where 'woot!' came from ... I picked it up on the Tri boards I think

sars1202

I think woot is an exclamation of joy

sars1202

wow, really?  That kind of makes me sad.  Although I don't think I owned anything while at UNT that said Eagles on it because I liked Mean Green better.

I knew that- I was joking.

Well, you asked this ...

MrsMeg:

And as I'm a UNT alum as well, I wasn't sure if you knew they had switched official mascots. Like I said, 'woot' is something I picked up on during the Tri boards.

It's l33tspeak for "YAHOO!", as in "w00t! I just bought a new car!"

Also see woot.com - major bargain site.

MrsTotty

'05 here ... although it really should have been like '03 ... took me a while to finish

Where is this gtg? It will probably be too far for me

Totty, I bet we passed each other at least once sometime!

MrsMeg

'02 grad.  And I never said "Caw caw!" when I went there (or now!) ... that was the joke.  Gigi will remember!!

If the weather is nice (which was the whole point of this thread), it's going to be at the Kidsville Park in Colleyville :

5109 Bransford
Colleyville, TX 76034
10,000 square foot playground with indoor and outdoor picnic areas.

W00T!!!!!!

 

Ha.

WOW, I just did a mapquest search and it would be 50 miles one way. I knew it would be too far...

Hope you all have a great time though.

Woot reminds me of that song Buttermilk Biscuits or something like that, lol.  They used to play it at the skating rink (yes i grew up in a smalltown, lol) i went to in 6th grade.  Anyway, i am so excited for the gtg and for the warm weather!  My toes are numb right now

Kim&Jim

There is a company in Carrollton near Hebron and Midway called Woot!  They have a funny sign so DH and I yell out "WOOT" whenever we drive by.  Yep....we're dorks!

mikey&amie

Yeah! I hope it stays nice for us! ?Btw, I've been using "woot" since my Knot days

I helped teach some CE classes at UNT for 2 summers. Can I join the UNT love?

I think the first time I ever heard of the word "woot!" it was from that guy who blogs about celeb gossip at www.pinkisthenewblog.com

Shan_te_xas
