Ooooookay. Thanks to all who played along in the effort to name my two ovarian cysts without (or with) thinking I’m a whackjob. It definitely helped raise awareness of ovarian cyst/cancer symptoms; at least two women have made doctor appointments because of the post which makes me super happy; extra thanks to all of you who shared that crazy-ass post with your friends and family. And it also most definitely helped keep me entertained while waiting for surgery to be scheduled. It’s tomorrow morning at 7:30, so, time to name these bad girls and get them ooooooooout.

Between votes here on the blog and on Facebook, it was a close race between two suggestions. So, Sprecher Brewery has generously provided a second free case of beer so there could be two winners.

In the category of “the people’s favorite“, the winner is: Steve Farr @purpleonioninc for his entry “Boom” and “Bah”…as in Cyst Boom Bah.

In the category of “my favorite” (I mean, they are part of my person at present, so my vote has to count for something), the winner is: Steve Hawthorne @stonecreeksteve for his entry, “Chuck” and “Norris”.

While Cyst Boom Bah perfectly captures the spirit of celebration I will feel when these mutants are GONE, at the moment, I prefer to think of getting in there and kicking some ass.

Steve and Steve, you can pick up your free case of Sprecher at their gift shop whenever you like. The gift shop hours are here.

You might want to consider trying Sprecher’s new Summer Czech-style Pils; it’s getting really good reviews. Here’s how Sprecher describes it: “Brewed with imported malt, soft water and Saaz noble hops, this Czech-style Pilsner is the perfect summer beer. Its rich golden color complements the mild, earthy, spicy hop aromas and well balanced malt profile for a crisp, clean beer with subtle bitterness.” Yum. I’m salivating now and will be reaching for one of these as soon as I’m through surgery and off the pain meds.

Thanks again to all of you for playing along. Much love. -Spaight
