MISSION STATEMENT
Sometimes, things are wrong. At one point they may have been alright, and are now considered wrong, or, they always have been and ever will be just plain wrong. Oft times, these wrong things are also funny.
With that in mind, this endeavour features two main strands: the "Shelf of Shame" (books) and the "Screen of Shame" (film) and smaller strands such as "Sound of Shame" (vinyl) and "Miscellany of Shame" (various) - each showcasing items from my personal collection of bibliographic and cinematic oddities and curios.
Deemed shame-worthy according to varying criteria of wrongness, these humourous, surprising, and occasionally instructive items are therefore posted here for your perusal, amusement and edification. Enjoy.

Shelf of Shame #11
SECRET SAUCE... WHAT ??
Blake, Mary. Teen Time Cooking (with Carnation). 1959: Carnation Company: Toronto. Small 8vo. booklet, w. Illus. card covers. 16pp. Colour illus. throughout.
Bow-chicka-bow-wow.
I mean, I'd really like to believe they're going to cook, in a kitchen, with food. However, the cover illustration seriously calls that intent into question.
Particularly suspect in this context are recipes like "South of the Border Noodles and Beef" or "Five Minute Fudge for the Girls". The author proclaims: "You can learn to take pride and satisfaction in your cooking. Fun and memories are built around food." This booklet may well foster your culinary prowess... or awaken a deep-seeded affinity for sploshing.
FOR FURTHER RESEARCH:
Notes on Evaporated Milk
Everything you ever wanted to know about Sploshing... but were afriad to ask.
Shelf of Shame #10
Marchessault, Guy. The Magnetic Pope. 1983, Novalis, Ottawa. Paperback, 160 pp. 16 pp. colour photos hors-texte in middle.
Just make sure you set your moral compass to the right one...
For Further Research:
List of Popes (I particularly like #46, St. Hilarius - the only funny one ever elevated: "Okay, you guys have been great - remember: I'm here all Easter, try the Host!"
Geomagnetism (not nearly as funny as the Popes)

Shelf of Shame #9
DECAPOD? MORE LIKE DECA-PERV...
Everything you always wanted to know about the Lobster: the Atlantic Ocean's most KINKY Character. Arthur Stuart Gillis. Magnetic Hill Inn: Moncton: 1976. Small booklet, stapled, glossy card covers. Unpaginated (8pp.)
Nature's nipple-clamps, I presume ??

Ephemera of Shame #3
RELIGIOUS FOLK AIN'T RACIST...
Lecture Ticket, June 7 [1904]. Black print on grey card stock, 2.25" x 3.5". Kew Beach Presbyterian Church. In Aid of Church Building Fund. Price: 15c.
While not as egregious as some of the material I find, the simple matter-of-factness of its use of a derivative term, combined with its religious angle, make it a valuable and interesting addition to the collection.
At first, I believed the card to be from the W.W. II era - but such is not the case. I found a newspaper reference to the Rev. D.C. Hossack dated 1899, and it seemed unlikely he would still have been active (or even alive) by the 1940s. So my choices were reduced to W.W. I, or the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05.
The latter seemed most likely, and has proven to be the case. There was a Presbyterian Church in the Kew Beach area of Toronto in this time period, and checking a universal calendar reveals that 1904 does indeed contain a Tuesday, June 7.
So this interesting little piece of Toronto ephemera is over a century old, and quite possibly the only one of its kind in existence - saved from oblivion by its use as a bookmark in a dusty tome whose reader has long since passed.
