World’s Greatest Dad

October 6, 2010 By john cave osborne 18 Comments

No. I'M the world's greatest dad. You're just some punk about the scream "uncle."

Greetings, all. My “Where’s Mommy?” video has been entered in a contest put on by a the fantastic folks over at Man of the House — the “World’s Greatest Dad” contest. And while I don’t even consider myself the greatest dad i my neighborhood, much less my world, I am hoping to win. Why? Because if I do, I’m donating 100% of the prize money to charity.

And that means that ChildHelp.org — a leading national nonprofit which benefits victims of child abuse and neglect — would get $2,000.00. In this depressed economy, I know each donation is valued even that much more. So please help me raise a nice chunk of change for a great cause without so much as spending a dime!

This will literally take you five seconds. Two keystrokes. First, click this link to get to my video:

Then click on the “vote” icon. BOOM. Done.

You can vote one time per day between now and October 22, so I hope you’ll vote a few times between now and then. And if you like this idea of donating two grand to a foundation which helps children who really need it in communities all across the country, then I hope you’ll share this post with your network of friends via one of the social network icons that appear on the left side of this page.

Thanks, y’all!

PS – Like my new look? Hope so. PJ Mullen, the good man behind Real Men Drive Minivans, is to thank for it. If your site needs a facelift, he comes with my highest recommendation. Don’t forget to grab my feed if you wanna keep following me. Though I have the same address, the feed did change. Same thing if you were getting posts delivered to you via email! Thanks for reading!

    keith, you’re one of those rare folks out there who is always so encouraging. i’m certain that’s one of the many reasons why you get the incredible amounts of traffic you get. (all the top-notch content doesn’t hurt, either, by the way…)

    thanks for your vote.

    If it makes you feel better I don’t consider you the world’s greatest dad on my street either. ;) PJ did a great job with this joint, although I must admit that I kind of miss the sawdust on the floor. Always loved that.

    You have my vote. I loved the video and how precious Monster, Biggs and Peanut are. You’ve truly been blessed and it’s so obvious your sense of humor is the wonder glue that holds even the most challenging of situations together.
