First of all, I am deeply sorry for taking so long in announcing the winners. It was not my intention. With 848 comments, it was a tad bit difficult trying to figure out who had the highest number of comments. Again, thank you so very, very much for even commenting. I heart you. Like last year, the winners were randomly selected through Random dot org. I did not fix it. I am unable to edit the winner (as in edit the random number). So, the winners …
First random comment is comment number 454 with the total winnings of a tee-shirt and a bow tie.
Congratulations, Lucidlilith! You won with the, “But you deal with it and you keep ballin’ / Pour out some liquor, play ball and we keep ballin’ / Baby we’ve been living in sin ’cause we’ve been really in love / But we’ve been living as friends” comment.
Second random comment is comment number 265 with the total winnings of a $50 coupon code (for the shoes) and a bow tie.
Congratulations, BBB! You won with the “Now it’s all I can think of hiss” comment. 😀 I’ll e-mail you shortly (Ehm, not today either).
Person with the most comments: is actually LucidLilith, but because she already won the random comment giveaway, the highest commenter gifts had to go to the next highest person. You won’t believe it. It’s BBB! Well, look at that. So, I had to find the next highest commenter. And voila!
Congratulations, CaramelD! You won with a total of 78 comments. Good Lord! You won a bracelet, a pillow case, and a bow tie. I’ll e-mail you shortly (of course, not today either).
P.S. Although LucidLilith won the highest commenter set of gifts, I did not bother asking her if she wanted to keep the random comment gifts or the highest commenter gifts. She left countless comments that said, “I want that tee shirt.” I kind of figured she’d prefer the tee shirt.
P.P.S. I don’t know about you, but LucidLilith’s winning comment (and all her comments in general) have validated my initial suspicion: the girl is not well oh.
P.P.P.S. If you’re wondering why your comment did not get chosen, please contact Random dot org, and feel free to give them a piece of your mind. It’s their fault! How dare they?!
P.P.P.P.S. With all the number of comments and recounting I did, you see why it took me so long?
P.P.P.P.P.S. Please allow four to six weeks for items to arrive.
P.P.P.P.P.P.S. You may, if you wish, revisit the giveaway page: 2011’s giveaway or 2010’s giveaway
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. Stay tuned for more giveaways 😉
And big, big, big thank you to my very, very very generous sponsors. You’re too much.

Vera Ezimora says
My dear, as you can see, these ladies’ multiple comments paid for them. Either that or they used juju. I think they used juju. Don’t tell them I said so sha.
Ego Du Jour says
Mbanu! This thing is rigged wth! LucidLillith has paid you off with all those her food recipes and countless pieces of bacon wrapped fish, or was it chicken?
Sha, congrats to her and everybody else.
For real though Vera tell the truth, she cooked for you didn’t she?
Vera Ezimora says
EDJ, no dey say dis ting loud na! The food that LucidLilith cooked for me was (and still is) strictly confidential. Biko, let us keep it that way before everyone else starts suspecting me 😉
lucidlilith says
No i bribed Vera with a gift certificate to Victoria’s Secret. Now Mr. Shoes can come and thank me ;D
Quaggar says
Ah.. Vera nwanne m, shey na like dis we go dey dey? 🙁
Congrats to bbb and lucidlilith sha, they tried. Those ladies dont’t give us guys a chance. lol.
Vera Ezimora says
LOL. I know, right? They sure didn’t play at all. I wished everyone goodluck sha. I’m glad that they won. I wish I could reward everyone. Some day, that would happen by God’s grace. Say amen with e oo 🙂
chinny says

Funmie says
Chinny i wanted you to win too babes….
Verachi na Ojoro master! well mistress in this case.
Vera Ezimora says
Chinny, my favorite big butted sweerat, I was rooting for you oh! In short, if you see the kind of prayers I was fayaring for you ehn, hmm! I am truly very shocked that you didn’t get it. Tufia kwa, the devil is a liar.
Vera Ezimora says
Oh, and Funmie … sharrap! *Insert very angry face*
NBB says
So I didn’t win anything? Smh
Vera Ezimora says
My love, this is obviously all the handiwork of the enemy. We must attack the enemies (LucidLilith, Caramel, and BBB). Let us kidnap three of them and collect their gifts as ransom 😀
Odunayo says
YAY!
Vera Ezimora says
Double Yay ***Now BBM Dancing***
Joxy says
So what if I only left one comment? How come I didn’t win??? Lol. Congrats to LL, bBB & CaramelD, una try 🙂
Vera Ezimora says
Sweerat, I don’t know oh. Personally, I think Caramel, BBB, and Lucid did something to/with Random dot org. Last year, however, Chayoma won with only one comment, so one never knows really.
lucidlilith says
lmao!!!! LWKMD!!!
Oh my goodness…..I feel cheated jOOOOO!!!
After all my hard work! Do you know how late I stayed up writing those comments????????????
Well sha, I will share and share alike. I would have liked the shoes and the t-shirt but props to my *ahem* second best….BBB.
Vera Ezimora says
You’re not even serious at alllll! Don’t make me to even revoke the small win that you won oh. You know I can do it. LOL.
Ginger says
Ah well. Its good i understand the freakshow called probability. Congrats Lucid, BBB, Caramel!
Vera Ezimora says
Oh, yes! That freakshow called probability used to be one of my favorite math chapters in school. But thanks for contesting anyway 🙂
Mikki says
🙁
I will visit Blown.com…
Vera Ezimora says
No. Visit I’m-a-strong-black-woman-and-I-don’t-care-who-wins.com That’s a much better site. LOL.
Mystery Man says
This seems like a huge scam. How come the 1st snapshot shows 454 as the max # and the winning random number was 454? Hmm… SCAM! SCAM!! SCAM!!!
Vera Ezimora says
No, sweetie. It’s not really a scam. My laptop touchpad is very sensitive. I must have mistakenly typed the number in there AFTER I had gotten the random result. And obviously, I did not notice. I made sure over and over that everything was right before I hit the SUBMIT button.
Ms.o says
congrats guys!
Vera Ezimora says
Thanks, babe! How’s your BBM-free life? *sticking tongue out*
Chizy K says
