british News League? what is that supposed to be, a group of superpoweredc newsreaders? something I would definitely not watch on a saturday morning… ‘Is it a bird? is it a plane? No! it’s Anchorman!
I have a dozen and half and don’t know what the heck to do with them. The youngest in our family is 16. It was basically a bunch of non-kids playing … LOL
Ooops! Guess we should have refrigerated them.
…
Whatever you guys do, DO NOT LET YOUR DOGS HAVE ANY EGGS. LOL We learned the hard way a couple of years ago.
Really, really, REALLY bad smelling dog-gas. Unlike anything you’ve ever smelled. And not something you can forget, either.
.
Leila, throw the eggs away after you’re done looking at them! Please don’t eat them; I don’t have the time for attending your funeral.
Umm, snake poo smells horrendous. At least it does when it’s from a 6-foot corn snake that eats mice. But then, it’s a good indication that the cage needs to be cleaned
And for those who remember my GF’s missing snake of not all that long ago, he’s been pouting in his cage ever since we found him under the fireplace and put him back where he belongs
And jam, Checker is a friendly, 6-foot (about 2 inches thick) bright orange corn snake. He’s not terribly active, but I’ve been telling GF we need to take him to the park on a leash once summer gets here.
I live in Austin, MN, SPAM Capital of the world. There is the SPAM Museum here, one of the best museums you have ever gone to. They even have an exhibit that plays that video. If you ever travel through MN, it is a must see.
Oh, and visit me too.
Should it have said, “The best lover is a good dad”? Well, maybe that isn’t any better, either…. “The best good is a lover dad”? Naw. “The dad lover is a best good”. Nope. I give up. Anybody got ideas?
Oh, I don’t know. You can’t have one without the other, right? At least that’s what they taught me in sixth grade. But really it’s all just a big NAMBLA plot.
That depends. If it was ref to something, there’s a 0.002% chance I’ll get it.
I know what I thought you were on about. (clicky… this comes with a disclaimer)
I gave the title a little thought. Perhaps it is attempting to capture the idea of a girl using her father as a role model when it comes to her mate. Maybe there are qualities in her dad she would like her lover to have. I hope I made some sense.
Perhaps it’s also attempting to suggest that the best dad is one who is a good lover to his spouse, assuming she is the mother of the children? I don’t know.
I think I can settle this whole debate. The title of the book is an outright lie. I am an awesome dad and quite a horrible lover. The two are completely unrelated.
WOW! Theres actually about 10 posts that have to do with the picture instead of 1 or 2. Thats a first! The ratio is usually around 200 to 1. Nobody cares about your lives… if we did, you’d be famous!
What’s that Stevie? My life? Sure, no problem. Lessee, I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, on the porch with my family, singin and dancin down in Mississippi. But it’s okay being poor, because all I need is this ashtray, this paddle game, this remote control, and failblog. That’s all I need.
And these matches.
Stevie, I’m afraid you’ve broken the rules. Before posting here you have to bathe in BaconLube⢠for at least a week, and becoming one with a potato is also highly recommended.
Have a nice day
Ah, our lives. My life. How do I begin? Where do I start. When will it all end? How do I begin to start to tell the tale of a life so full of life? Maybe I should write a book. (Oops, that almost had something to do with the picture, didn’t it? Sorry; I’ll try to watch that from now on.)
I think he just wants people to care about his life, and wants to be famous. In my case, however, I just like the attention (as you can tell by my name).
You’re here often enough to make a statement about the related/unrelated ratio, which means you’re usually reading all the comments. Then you complain. I have a suggestion for you:
Don’t read the comments (easy to avoid them, just don’t click on the link to the comment section).
BTW, you didn’t say anything related to the fail. Just sayin’.
Good observation Arthur. I noticed that in life, those who are miserable want everyone else to join them. So technically, stevie wants us to notice that his life sucks but I sure do not want to join him/it/her.
But Leila, think of all those poor teen bloggers and texters who are in such dire need of punctuation! One little apostrophe could help them on their way to being intelligible. It’s hard, but I’m trying to be selfless here. My keyboard is full of punctuation, so I figured I can spare some.

Yes, this demonstrates obvious dereliction of duty by the editor and publisher!! Kinda like, I don’t know, failblogging instead of working.

Does your doctor have a long start up time?
Is he always squeaking and creaking?
Rusty around the hinges?
You need Docto-Riteā¢! It’ll keep your doctor running like new!
….side effects may include leprosy, anal warts, heart palpitations, your significant other rekindling a romance with their old sweetheart, and in rare, but serious cases zombie attacks causing violent removal of the brain.
Speaking of bathrooms, why the hell is it that some women do not wash their hands after using the facility? Is it because you assume your nether regions are immaculately cleaner than others? I just do not understand. All I know is that you are N-A-S-T-Y ! ! !
…
Sorry. Had to get that off my chest.
Speaking as a woman, who washes her hands regularly btw, I use the hand sanitizer at work because the water is always ice cold in our bathroom. It’s the worst in the winter.
In a way this makes sense. I mean if you can even please your daughter in that department you are in a way the best dad. But the one most likely to go to hell. But yeah it makes sense.
That’s just gotta be from a Christian Book Publisher and was shipped directly to a Christian book store to be bought by some well-meaning God-fearing auntie to give to her Sunday-school attending niece to help said niece whose having frequent arguments with daddy lay-preacher on how horrible her teenage years are and have that book wind up in a Salvation Army Store (wait, gotta take a breath….) for that book to have NO ONE notice that there might be anything nasty or creepy or unpleasant or traumatic about that title, especially juxtaposed with that picture. I can think of no other way a book could find its way past so many people who are that damn naive and have absolutely NO SENSE OF IRONY at ALL…. (and they’d fail to get that “daddy lay-preacher” pun/joke, even in light of the book title….)
Jeezus Gawd Jeehovuh, whut have you wrought?
What’s most depressing about this is I live amongst a very large population of these kinds of people. In a state you folks mentioned above in your comments. I’d be ROFL’ing at this if reality hadn’t doped-slapped me upside the head and left me big ol’ knot on my head…. I gotta get soused.
Eh. It’s from the 70s – not that incest and pedophilia didn’t exist then, but the “Good Lover” part wouldn’t have seemed quite so icky at the time. Pedophiliac priests, monster dads, all the stuff we see on the Internet everyday – it just wasn’t on the public radar back then. The culture wasn’t nearly as sexually aware as it is now – it’s almost impossible to explain the difference to someone born after, say, 1980.
It’s a good example of pop psychology/human sexuality literature of the time, very hip n groovy by 70s standards. And remember that at that time, mainstream books dealing with sexuality in a positive, normal way, were still very new and daring.
Maxim magazine sometimes runs a feature with old advertisements that, while perfectly innocent by the standards of their day, sound perverse or titillating or icky in today’s terms. This is like that.
I was a kid in the 70s, which I suspect makes me old around here.
there are a few typos there you need to address.
close hand? Whose hand do you want me to close?
also, you’re heart? as in You are heart?
tommorow… Did you mean tomorrow?
and finally, the best day of you’re life. The best day of you are life…
Before trying to annoy others, please learn to spell.
Tried to find info on the book (to find out exactly what the title was MEANT to mean) but the only things listing it besides links or references to this FB post are one eBay listing with no description of the book’s purpose. Even websites all about Dr. Shedd don’t have it listed ā including those that actually sell his books. Huh.
You got me curious and I found a sermon referencing this:
“Guys, the best thing you can do as a father is to love your wife well. Someone has put it this way, āThe best dad is a good lover.ā This is what Paul was talking about when he said in Ephesians 5:25, āHusbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it.ā Charlie Shedd in his book, Promises to Peter, states, āThe best thing I do for my children is to love their Mother well.ā”
Crap doesn’t anyone keep the discussion on the photo which we are commenting??? “Hey how was your weekend?” If you want to chat go on messanger or something. For christ’s sake you people are losers.
When I went to check if Amazon.com had any review of it, I found the failblog.org photo up there as the image of the book, complete with the “FAIL” in white lettering and everything. Heehee.
Incest win?
Good morning, Velvet! Good weekend?
Great minds! HA!
.
It was good but super-busy. How was yours?
wow… that was fast…
Weekends usually are
Mine only last approximately two hours.
I can relate. *squeeze*
*squeeze* back – and Happy Monday To You
still friday here.
i just don’t see how this is a fail.
it makes sense if the dad was not a good lover than the kids most likely would not exist…
Because only people who are good in the sack can reproduce? I think you missed a couple of sex ed classes.
GraciasĀ”
Ooooh. I like your avatar, Jane.
Unfortunately, now I keep humming, “You’re a little teapot, short and stout…” to myself.
Thanks for spreading the ear worm! At least that’s a cheerful one to have stuck in your brain on a Monday…
Really? I keep humming “Jane”.
I keep humming “Had a Dad” by Jane’s Addiction
“Janie’s Got a Gun”
Ummmm, thanks?
I have to ask… is that where you got the name?
Or are you actually named Jane St. Clair?
Naw, I’m a BNL fan, my real name is nowhere close.
I must ask,is BNL a british thing?
Barenaked Ladies, a band, is in fact a Canadian thing.
A very awesome Canadian thing.
Indeed lol.
AHHHH yes i have heard of them… the acronym did throw me off though, i thought it meant british news league or something of the sort
british News League? what is that supposed to be, a group of superpoweredc newsreaders? something I would definitely not watch on a saturday morning… ‘Is it a bird? is it a plane? No! it’s Anchorman!
collegehumor made a BNL spoof a while ago…
you cant over think these kind of things lol

CUM FIGHT!!!

CATCH IT IN YOUR ASS OR MOUTH TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fail troll is fail.
Trolls like this are why we have shotguns.
Agreed. Fail troll must be shot. With big, painful gun.
Awesome! I think I finally got all the egg dye off my fingers!
Dye is especially nasty under your finger nails.
It was all worth it though.
Hope it was for you too.
HAHAHA! We had 5 colors, so we dyed 5 eggs with two colors each in a tie dye pattern. I really had no use for a dozen boiled eggs, so we only did 5.
We went the whole route, dyes, sparkles, stickers, markers & “egg wraps”. Had a great time with the g’kids.
We did the glitter gel and egg wraps. But I put the eggs in the egg wraps before the glitter gel was dry, so now they’re stuck to the eggs. LOL!
I hid the little candy eggs for the children
I LAID THE EGGS!
I have a dozen and half and don’t know what the heck to do with them. The youngest in our family is 16. It was basically a bunch of non-kids playing … LOL
Deviled eggs, sliced eggs on a chef salad, egg salad sandwiches, umm…that’s all I’ve got for them.
Ooops! Guess we should have refrigerated them.
…
Whatever you guys do, DO NOT LET YOUR DOGS HAVE ANY EGGS. LOL We learned the hard way a couple of years ago.
Uh…..I’m almost afraid to ask, but why?
Really, really, REALLY bad smelling dog-gas. Unlike anything you’ve ever smelled. And not something you can forget, either.
.
Leila, throw the eggs away after you’re done looking at them! Please don’t eat them; I don’t have the time for attending your funeral.
I am thankful that you would even consider attending my funeral velvet. LOL
Oh, You are my Hero! I will defintely keep that in mind! Thanks
*secretly feeds eggs to Judy’s dog*
*giggles*
The start of this thread = making me hungry.
The second half of this thread = ….. *feeds the dog some eggs too*
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend
As long as you are not giving them to my dogs…………….I am cool.
*brings Judy’s dog over to Leila’s house for the night*
*feeds eggs to leila’s dogs*
My dog managed to clear out the house one year. My brother still refers to the “year of the demon-dog farts”.
This is why cats are far superior!
Cats are an invention of the devil.
aikiwaza and Tordsworld = EVIL!!!
…
LOL
Oh sure, blame the dog.
Loz, I had a cat who was quite a tooter, too…though she was definitely more polite about it!
She would purr as she cleared out a room?
Haha! My cat has never farted, at least not one that I’ve smelt. I’m very grateful for this.
Me either. Although, she did have a gum infection for a while, and her breath was horrible.
One of my mothers cats likes to wait ’til she’s sitting right next to you to let one rip. There’s no sound, but dear god, the smell!
This is why I don’t keep pets!
Get a snake. They don’t smell, and you only have to feed them once a week.
Now that is worth thinking about. How much care and attention is required?
*goes an hides*
They do too smell.
You just need to handle them every couple of days so they don’t get scared of humans.
I own a dog, a cat, and a snake, and frankly, the snake is the lesser of three evils. (smell-wise)
What about snake kennels for holidays? Cleaning etc?
I reckon Avis is more scared of the snake than the snake would be of humans.
Damn Skippy!
You gotta clean out the tank every 2-3 weeks (i.e., replace the woodchips) . And whenever it poos or sheds, you just take the stuff out.
I could probably manage the required amount of effort for that.
Hmmm…
*ponders*
Although, if you do actually get one, I’d suggest double-checking these facts. These are just off the top of my head.
Umm, snake poo smells horrendous. At least it does when it’s from a 6-foot corn snake that eats mice. But then, it’s a good indication that the cage needs to be cleaned
And for those who remember my GF’s missing snake of not all that long ago, he’s been pouting in his cage ever since we found him under the fireplace and put him back where he belongs
And jam, Checker is a friendly, 6-foot (about 2 inches thick) bright orange corn snake. He’s not terribly active, but I’ve been telling GF we need to take him to the park on a leash once summer gets here.
That’s good to get it acquainted with other snakes.
My snake is… I dunno. I think it’s a California King. About 80cm, brown with yellow stripes and belly.
*Pictures a bright orange snake on a leash*
ROFL
*hides WAAAAAY up high in the tree*
*laughs as 6 foot corn snake swallows much too friendly Yorkie*
Mr. Bob, I clickied your name by accident….hehe.
Skwerlly Bob–
I clicked your name too.
I’ve actually, truly, and sincerely laughed out loud.
Thanks for some levity in an otherwise very trying day in the O.R.
Oh yeah….
…FIRST!!!
wait…oh crap…..
Silent flatulence kicker…flatulence! One of our dogs doesn’t even need to have eggs. LOL
I assure you that my dog is worse.
He’s cleared the house plenty of times.
Look at the book in the background. Protestant power and the coming revolution
An un-put-downable book if ever there was one.
I HAVE THAT BOOK!

Awkward choice of titles…
Hi Judy! Did you have a nice Easter?
People in the 70’s didn’t think about things the way we do now, apparently.
LOLwut????
Did you say Spam?
Clickie
WN… simply said… awesome clicky. I haven’t seen that in years.
I live in Austin, MN, SPAM Capital of the world. There is the SPAM Museum here, one of the best museums you have ever gone to. They even have an exhibit that plays that video. If you ever travel through MN, it is a must see.
Oh, and visit me too.
Austin, TX here. Texas capital (of the world). There is the
SPAM Festival here, not one of the best festivals you
have ever gone to.
The best Spam is a good lover.

No, your just stupid enough to post crap like this.
*dunks head in bukkit*

Publisher / proofreader FAIL!!!!!
Should it have said, “The best lover is a good dad”? Well, maybe that isn’t any better, either…. “The best good is a lover dad”? Naw. “The dad lover is a best good”. Nope. I give up. Anybody got ideas?
“Dad love is best; doesn’t get any better.” Hmm, nope, definitely not a good one.
Good Lover Gone Dad.
When good dads go bad.
Who’s yer daddy?
*SMACK!!!*
Oh Mama!
Now children…behave.
HE started it!!!!!!
She’s on my side of the thread!
If you two don’t stop it, I’m going to turn this blog around RIGHT NOW!
How’s your father?
Never had one. How is yours?
So he was a bad lover?
A Daddy Glover?
Were you dropped on the head in infancy?
Or at any time during the last two weeks?
No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
The best dad doesn’t hit mommy?
The words DAD and LOVER just do not belong together.
Oh, I don’t know. You can’t have one without the other, right? At least that’s what they taught me in sixth grade. But really it’s all just a big NAMBLA plot.
oh, you can definitely have one without the other.
A good dad is the best lover.
Disturbing. I don’t care to know that about the dad. LOL
Only your mother truly loves you.
You’re saying nobody else loves LEILA? That’s just plain ol’ mean Marius!
I’m sorry. Would you care to share my toasted cheese sandwich?
Not really! It would look too much like the candle fail.
Besides, I don’t jam that way.
Jam, I’m becoming confused again, aren’t I?
That depends. If it was ref to something, there’s a 0.002% chance I’ll get it.
I know what I thought you were on about. (clicky… this comes with a disclaimer)
I was a little psycho with my comments but Gaa!
No not that psycho. Sorry about the mix-up.
Protestant Power for the best dad ever!
I’m odd.
Even so.
Figuratively speaking of course.
Don’t count on it.
This is a prime example of real irrational behavior.
It’s time we got to the root of this problem.
Let’s get this business squared away. *bites McFail* Harrow
All things being equal, I find this to be less than a prime example.
But does it, in fact, represent a prime number in any way?
He’s just talking to his imaginary friend.
Avogadro try harder to keep up with these threads.
I thought he was talking to MY imaginary friend.
I wonder what the coming revolution will be like. I vote for old-school beheading! These cold war ending revolutions just weren’t satisfying.
Nah, the Muslims have the beheading thing covered already.
We need something more revolutionary.

Plum is new here!
That’s just plum silly.
Sorry, my comment standard plummeted.
Was it too plump?
SOMEBODY CALL A PLUMBER!!!
Oooh, you have beautiful plumage…
La plume de ma tante est sur la table.
That comment floated like a plumbum feather.
I am just plumcot up in this thread.
Thank you jam. I feel welcome now.
Unfortunately, nobody likes me!
*cries in corner*
*gets over it*
OH! RIGHT!
The anti-hershey guy goggles protect people’s eyes from Sweethooligan’s avatar. They’re broken right now…
Oh, I see. I still don’t see how hershey has anything to do with this.
Haha that is a little weird isn’t it, Dad and lover in the same sentence lol Great blog btw!
This must be the Virginia tourism guide.
Don’t you mean “West Virginia”?
Well, Virginia is for lovers
And West Virginia is known for its unforking family trees.
The family that plays together stays together.
Are you sure this dad isn’t from Vermont?
Does he produce maple syrup?
family.. er.. mobius strips?
What goes around comes around?
On a single side!
Let’s just say they don’t call her “Virgin ia” any more.
I’m super glad I had the worst dad ever.
I gave the title a little thought. Perhaps it is attempting to capture the idea of a girl using her father as a role model when it comes to her mate. Maybe there are qualities in her dad she would like her lover to have. I hope I made some sense.
Ergo: The (fast) lover & the (furious) dad, new model-original parts…?
You can also look at it from a young boys perspective as most young men learn how to treat a woman from watching their dad.
True.
Perhaps it’s also attempting to suggest that the best dad is one who is a good lover to his spouse, assuming she is the mother of the children? I don’t know.
That’s what I thought it meant…
I think it may be time to flowchart it for proper analysis.
I think I can settle this whole debate. The title of the book is an outright lie. I am an awesome dad and quite a horrible lover. The two are completely unrelated.
Oh dear.
Damn it. I can’t relate one bit.
WOW! Theres actually about 10 posts that have to do with the picture instead of 1 or 2. Thats a first! The ratio is usually around 200 to 1. Nobody cares about your lives… if we did, you’d be famous!
Aaaandd, I think we have our first Spring Break kid here! Welcome! Enjoy your week here.
What’s that Stevie? My life? Sure, no problem. Lessee, I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, on the porch with my family, singin and dancin down in Mississippi. But it’s okay being poor, because all I need is this ashtray, this paddle game, this remote control, and failblog. That’s all I need.
And these matches.
Stevie, I’m afraid you’ve broken the rules. Before posting here you have to bathe in BaconLube⢠for at least a week, and becoming one with a potato is also highly recommended.
Have a nice day
I was not aware of these rules…how do you become one with a potato? And do I really want to know?
Avis, are you feeling better?
“The Jerk” win!
“The Jerk” ref win!
Stevie hurt all my two feelings.
There, now, LEILA.
*hugs*
We’ll have Stevie bored (or embarrassed) to tears and another site soon enough.
Ah, our lives. My life. How do I begin? Where do I start. When will it all end? How do I begin to start to tell the tale of a life so full of life? Maybe I should write a book. (Oops, that almost had something to do with the picture, didn’t it? Sorry; I’ll try to watch that from now on.)
Yeah, what were you thinking?
—-
How is LIFE treating you Sparky? LOL
Oh, a little of this, a little of that. Thanks for asking, Leila. How about you?
My life is absolutely wonderful!
–
So what do you think is up stevie’s butt? LOL
I think he just wants people to care about his life, and wants to be famous. In my case, however, I just like the attention (as you can tell by my name).
*tries incredibly hard to care about Stevie*
Sorry. No workee.
You gotta start small WN. Start small and we might be able to care.
*Starts to think small*
Nah. Too much effort.
But…I AM famous. Ergo, Stevie the Wonderless dog must care about my life.
I care therefore I squeeze!
Nope, same here (I didn’t really try too hard though.)
If he’s a vicar it’s probably a potato.
You’re here often enough to make a statement about the related/unrelated ratio, which means you’re usually reading all the comments. Then you complain. I have a suggestion for you:
Don’t read the comments (easy to avoid them, just don’t click on the link to the comment section).
BTW, you didn’t say anything related to the fail. Just sayin’.
Good observation Arthur. I noticed that in life, those who are miserable want everyone else to join them. So technically, stevie wants us to notice that his life sucks but I sure do not want to join him/it/her.
Those who are fortunate too often don’t want others to join them. Change that in mankind and this world is a paradise in no time. *daydreams*
Deep Arthur… deep. You ever consider becoming a philosopher?
It’s a plea for help. He seems to have lost almost all of his apostrophes.
Happy to donate to the cause. Here you go:
””””””””””””””””””
Put me down for double the above.
Me too.
OMG – I guess we DO care!!!
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo!!!!!! I do not want to care. Don’t make me!!!
…
I hereby retract my donation.
But Leila, think of all those poor teen bloggers and texters who are in such dire need of punctuation! One little apostrophe could help them on their way to being intelligible. It’s hard, but I’m trying to be selfless here. My keyboard is full of punctuation, so I figured I can spare some.
All I have is a few periods. It’s not much, but I hope it helps.

I swear I’ve seen this before…
Hi Bo. Congrats on the new digs. What’s it like in the White House?
dear sweet jesus…
You rang?
He was referring to ME you impostor!!!
We’re running low on wine, just so you know.
WHY CHARLIE SHEDD ………WHY ????!!! O__o
…….and also -how the hell did he manage to get a doctorite ?? he cant even proof reed !!!!
*dies from a lethal exposure to “wtf” and typos*
I’m guessing he doesn’t have a doctorate himself.
But he DOES have a doctorite!
Does your doctor have a long start up time?
Is he always squeaking and creaking?
Rusty around the hinges?
You need Docto-Riteā¢! It’ll keep your doctor running like new!
Ask your doctor(if Docto-Rite⢠is)rite for you!
….side effects may include leprosy, anal warts, heart palpitations, your significant other rekindling a romance with their old sweetheart, and in rare, but serious cases zombie attacks causing violent removal of the brain.
BRAINS!!!!!
CUM!!!!!!!!!!
TROLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW you are asking for TOO much!!!!
I can dream. That’s why I founded the Apostrophes-for-the-Needy Charitable Foundation (ANCF) in the above thread.
Very commendable. You should start a similar webpage as freerice.com.
I wonder if he wrote this book in a shed. Or if he has two sheds.
That woodshed some light on his subject.
I light you!!!
I feel illuminated.
*Sniff*
Do you smell something burning?
Why, are you using your brain again? LOL
*throws a wet blanket over Marius*
We shouldn’t have left you to LEILA’s tinder mercies.
Shouldn’t it be the other way around? A good lover is a good father? You’ve got to have some lovin’ before you can be a father.
Oh shit, I’ve got the Quiznos torpedo ad again.
Bathroom is THAT way!
Speaking of bathrooms, why the hell is it that some women do not wash their hands after using the facility? Is it because you assume your nether regions are immaculately cleaner than others? I just do not understand. All I know is that you are N-A-S-T-Y ! ! !
…
Sorry. Had to get that off my chest.
It wasn’t me! Don’t look at me like that.
*cowers*
Wait, I thought you were a woman.
That’s how she knows. You ever seen a guy in the ladies?
Actually I have but he was well disguised.
Oh, good point.
*common sense fail*
What did she say to make you think otherwise?
I’d like to hear this as well…… :: waits ::
I’m not sure. It just seemed as if you were talking about women like you weren’t one.
I just frisked myself in the two (three if you want to be technical) most important places and YUP, I am WOMAN!!
Speaking as a woman, who washes her hands regularly btw, I use the hand sanitizer at work because the water is always ice cold in our bathroom. It’s the worst in the winter.
The book’s apparently from 1977. I hope this isn’t what people refer to when they mention the good ol’ days. ^^;;
Also the author seemed to mostly write family and self-help books. (clicky my name to see what I got thru Google)
All aboard the incest orgy train.
toot toot!!!
Freud would be proud with this.
Did I slip?
One ticket to paradise please.
Geez! If the bad Photoshop job doesn’t give this hoax away, a quick search on Amazon should.
This leaves me speechless
What did you say?
he said it leaves him speechless.
This is actually a joke, there’s a few in the ’series’. The other one is “It’s your fault mommy and daddy are divorced”.
First!!!!!…

not
In a way this makes sense. I mean if you can even please your daughter in that department you are in a way the best dad. But the one most likely to go to hell. But yeah it makes sense.

…ew, seriously.
That’s just gotta be from a Christian Book Publisher and was shipped directly to a Christian book store to be bought by some well-meaning God-fearing auntie to give to her Sunday-school attending niece to help said niece whose having frequent arguments with daddy lay-preacher on how horrible her teenage years are and have that book wind up in a Salvation Army Store (wait, gotta take a breath….) for that book to have NO ONE notice that there might be anything nasty or creepy or unpleasant or traumatic about that title, especially juxtaposed with that picture. I can think of no other way a book could find its way past so many people who are that damn naive and have absolutely NO SENSE OF IRONY at ALL…. (and they’d fail to get that “daddy lay-preacher” pun/joke, even in light of the book title….)
Jeezus Gawd Jeehovuh, whut have you wrought?
What’s most depressing about this is I live amongst a very large population of these kinds of people. In a state you folks mentioned above in your comments. I’d be ROFL’ing at this if reality hadn’t doped-slapped me upside the head and left me big ol’ knot on my head…. I gotta get soused.
That’s right. If he was bad…he’d have no kids to begin with.
Eh. It’s from the 70s – not that incest and pedophilia didn’t exist then, but the “Good Lover” part wouldn’t have seemed quite so icky at the time. Pedophiliac priests, monster dads, all the stuff we see on the Internet everyday – it just wasn’t on the public radar back then. The culture wasn’t nearly as sexually aware as it is now – it’s almost impossible to explain the difference to someone born after, say, 1980.
It’s a good example of pop psychology/human sexuality literature of the time, very hip n groovy by 70s standards. And remember that at that time, mainstream books dealing with sexuality in a positive, normal way, were still very new and daring.
Maxim magazine sometimes runs a feature with old advertisements that, while perfectly innocent by the standards of their day, sound perverse or titillating or icky in today’s terms. This is like that.
I was a kid in the 70s, which I suspect makes me old around here.

close hand? Whose hand do you want me to close?
also, you’re heart? as in You are heart?
tommorow… Did you mean tomorrow?
and finally, the best day of you’re life. The best day of you are life…
Before trying to annoy others, please learn to spell.
LOL! must be one hell of a raunchy book. that or we all just have dirty minds.
I think the most disturbing part is that it was written by a doctor…
Tried to find info on the book (to find out exactly what the title was MEANT to mean) but the only things listing it besides links or references to this FB post are one eBay listing with no description of the book’s purpose. Even websites all about Dr. Shedd don’t have it listed ā including those that actually sell his books. Huh.
You got me curious and I found a sermon referencing this:
“Guys, the best thing you can do as a father is to love your wife well. Someone has put it this way, āThe best dad is a good lover.ā This is what Paul was talking about when he said in Ephesians 5:25, āHusbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it.ā Charlie Shedd in his book, Promises to Peter, states, āThe best thing I do for my children is to love their Mother well.ā”
Still pretty scary thinking to my pov.
That’s what happens when a zealous churchgoer decides he knows what’s best for every family.
Love your life well, and then the kids won’t mind that you beat them!
Possibly I am slightly bitter towards the Church.
This month’s selection from the NAMBLA Book Club!
Crap doesn’t anyone keep the discussion on the photo which we are commenting??? “Hey how was your weekend?” If you want to chat go on messanger or something. For christ’s sake you people are losers.
That is just not right!
Yes. That would be an Incest Win!
When I went to check if Amazon.com had any review of it, I found the failblog.org photo up there as the image of the book, complete with the “FAIL” in white lettering and everything. Heehee.
……says michael jackson to blanket
That book title is wrong. Everybody knows the best Mom (and her sister) is a hot lover who loves it in the pooper.
Damn.
I just checked it on Amazon.com. The picture they use there is this picture! It even has the FAIL and the failblog.org watermark!
This book just screams… “Papa NO!”
Librarien- This book is in the advice section. Hit the road.
HAa
