The Earring Contest Winner Is…

Wait! First, you need to look at my highly-scientific chart!

Yeah, I created a pie chart while watching American Idol last night. What of it?

(Did I hear you mumble “douchebag”? HUH?)

According to Wikipedia, “Genetically dominant, free earlobes are twice as common in the human population as attached lobes.”

No shit! Thanks to MY highly-scientific poll, I can assure clinical geneticists around the world that the research hasn’t been in vain! Free earlobes are twice as common! Whoorl readers PROVED IT.

I’m not just giving away earrings here, I’m validating SCIENCE.

What was I talking about?

Oh yes, the contest. I found some sort of random number generator website thingymajig, entered in the official number of comments, pressed the go button and:

I can’t look! The suspense!

And the winning random commenter is:

#186! Which would be:

Jocilyn! Who measures people’s ears! (ZOMGWTF.) You’re right, Jocilyn. There is no good explanation.

Congratulations to the Ear Measurer! I’ll be emailing you shortly.

Oooh, Oooh! A CONTEST.

I am completely obsessed with Etsy. I admit it.

A couple of weeks ago, I came to the conclusion that I need more earrings in my life. What’s the point of having your ears pierced if you aren’t going to adorn the holes? C’MON, PEOPLE.

So, Etsy and I did our little mating ritual, which resulted in the purchase of several pairs of simple, beautiful earrings. (Simple jewelry lovers UNITE!)

My very favorite pair were handmade by Kate Szabone, and they have become permanent fixtures in my earlobes.

Well, the lovely Kate accidentally printed out duplicate orders and sent me two pairs of these beautiful earrings, and when I emailed about the duplication, she kindly told me to keep them. (SCORE.) And as much as I would like to KEEP THE EARRINGS as backups, I thought it might be nice to share the love with y’all.

Aren’t they perfectly simple? And pretty? Can you not tell because my ears are devouring the entire photo?

These beauties need a loving home. (The new ones, of course. Not the ones in my ears- Whoorl is a proper hygiene advocate.)

So! Leave a comment starting now through midnight EST tonight, and I will randomly choose a winner to be announced tomorrow. Cool? Cool.

And for those people (like me) who need some sort of comment direction, tell me, do you have a free or attached earlobe?

Easter Panic!

Happy Easter.

I just accidentally erased every single feed on my Google Reader. (200+ blogs.)

Years of finding great writers and POOF! Gone into the black night.

(breathing into a paper sack)

((Would it be poor form to compare Jesus rising from the dead to my Google Reader reincarnation? You know, like a new start? Free from past sins of the fathers?))

(((Going to pray for forgiveness.)))

Do I read your blog? Should I read your blog? What blogs do you love? Suggestions? (Seriously, don’t be shy. This is a desperate call for ASSISTANCE.)
