Guys! The mystical powers over at Random.org have spoken, and of the 156 entries in the giveaway, the winner of my giveaway is #19: Dani, from She Laughs Too Easily & Cries Too Hard.
Congratulations, Dani! Email coming in a minute. I’ve got to admit, I’m dying of curiosity to find out whether Wodehouse, soap or sex toys will end up with the winning vote…
Also, thank you marvelous people so much for all the entries and wonderful comments! I was quite frankly overwhelmed by the quantity of submissions and especially with the quality of recommended NTKOGs! I’ll definitely be trying many of them in the coming months (and will remember to give credit where it’s due.)

Okay, that said, I have no NTKOG goodness for you today, but, because I am the most popular person on the internet, have TWO GUEST POSTS UP on wonderful blogs!
First: a guest post up at The Secret Society of List Addicts describing the top five headaches that regularly send me reaching for my Excedrin. My personal favorites? The “my ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend” and the “holy shit, when was my last tetanus shot?!”. Two endearing migraine classics. Third favorite? The SHEER JOY-graine you’ll get when you inevitably read the rest of the archives over at Secret Society of List Addicts. Seriously, love it.
Second: an article about statement necklaces over at Her Southern Heart, which is a great site to check out if you love looking at pretty things. (Not that I would know. Currently: google imaging skin diseases and writing erotica about them.) I’m nobody’s fashionista, but seeing as how I regularly rock the meat cleaver necklace, felt it my duty to pass my love for statement necklaces onto the general pop.
Just to up the random factor on this grab-bag post, a blurry photo of said meat cleaver necklace. Isn't it magical?!
Happy Wednesday, kids!
[Edit: Just heard back from Dani, and she quite cleverly chose the sex toy! What would y'all have chosen?]

Meat Cleaver Necklace: chopping off fingers and opening beer bottles since 2009.
Also HOLY FRIG that thing is like sextuple the size I originally envisioned.
Oh, yeah, it’s a pretty serious necklace. I usually average six free drinks and two marriage proposals every time I wear it. (And like nineteen million dirty looks, but whatever, because evidently those people and I just aren’t playing the same game.)
I really like your cleaver necklace. Where did you get it?
Thanks, dude! I picked it up at the Renegade Craft Fair in SF this summer. Unfortunately, the vendor didn’t have a card or an Etsy — she had tons of kitchy/macabre jewelry. This one actually wasn’t even for sale: it was on a mannequin, but I told her I wasn’t leaving ’til she sold it to me, and she eventually gave in!
Damn, that’s some serious haggling. I gotta take you along with me next time I want to get some cheap street fair jewelry.
I already have a nice sex toy and a lot of Jeeves and Wooster so had I won, I’d have gone with the Lush since I don’t have enough cool bath stuff.
Damn I can’t work out if I love the necklace or if it scares me. Cool blog not sure how I found you but I really like it

LOVE the cleave.
wink, wink.
Definitely just googled “meat cleaver necklace” in search of that vendor (confession: i’m not a very good googler) and found this: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,705263871,00.html
It’s a shame the story isn’t accompanied with a photo. Also, in reporting the story, Fox News changed “meat cleaver” to “filet knife.” Why? Is one somehow more or less accessible/sensational than the other?
Hmmm…..Sister and I think differently. (TKOG: Sandy B. might be a poor influence on you. She thinks outside the knife.)
