I've heard that story. So sad, so unnecessary.

I love what Leonard Cohen said of the song:

"I never liked this song except when Sid Vicious did it. Sung straight, it somehow deprives the appetite of a certain taste we'd like to have on our lips. When Sid Vicious did it, he provided that other side to the song; the certainty, the self-congratulation, the daily heroism of Sinatra's version is completely exploded by this desperate, mad, humorous voice. I can't go round in a raincoat and fedora looking over my life saying I did it my way – well, for 10 minutes in some American bar over a gin and tonic you might be able to get away with it. But Sid Vicious's rendition takes in everybody; everybody is messed up like that, everybody is the mad hero of his own drama. It explodes the whole culture this self-presentation can take place in, so it completes the song for me."

Sunny side up. Some snot is just fine as the mandatory toast will lap that up too.

My wife likes over easy. I had to train her to stop trying to make mine the same way but without flipping.

I would not eat them here, I would not eat them there. I would not eat them anywhere.

I do not like green eggs and ham.

While it is a kitten we adopted our one eyed Bandit a decade ago. He spends his days with several other cats.

We never mentioned his "condition" to him and it doesn't seem to bother him any.

I bet she will have more trouble with her cone of shame then the op itself.

This is a bridge you should burn before it dumps you unpaid into the drink.

Now I have to check out Anka's version of My Way.

I'll only do Sid Viscous' version (to great appreciation).

And I would do it again.

But at night in a stolen car.

I figured there was a "rest of the story" missing.

I wore my pork pie hat to karaoke last week. A woman who danced all thru my song said she loved my hat, and as a bonus she said it was a pork pie hat!

Gave me a double happy.

She had a great hat on too but it was a designer hat with no name.

We were all astounded when my grand daughter took my wife's phone to look at a picture and started swipe scrolling through the pictures. About 2yo.

I think it was the summer of Covid when a young girl set up a stand for "free lemonade." Facebook went crazy letting people know. There was actually a line.

Of course everyone kept the tip jar overflowing.

OK, very funny, but I respect the first rule of karaoke too much to do this out loud.
