The Worm Has Turned Again...On "The Mike Douglas Show 2006"

"Okay, we're back. And I'm pleased to welcome back to the show today that action ape, the primary primate, and childish chimp, Scottius Maximus. At the end of his first year of blogging, the world was sharply divided on what it all meant. So this November, Mr. Scottius has chosen 'The Mike Douglas Show' to celebrate the close of his 2nd year in the great blogatorium. Let's give him a big hand."




"Thanks, Mr. Douglas. Umm, where's Lisa and Eb?

MD: "Sorry, wrong show, Mr. MENSA."

SM: "Whoops."

MD: "So, besides avoiding what seemed to be certain cancellation, what do you consider your greatest achievement in blogging over these two years?"

SM: "Funny you should ask. Because I've written a song about some of my blogging accomplishments."

MD: "That couldn't have taken long."

SM: "About as long as your comb-over, Mike."

MD: "Would you like some accompaniment?"

SM: "Yes, sir, just as long as it's not Yoko."

MD: "Without further ado, then, here's Scottius Maximus singing "MY WAY"-- Wait a minute, wasn't that already a song?"

SM: "I've done some things to it...my way. Get it?"

MD: "Oh, I'm afraid we're all about to 'get it'. Frank Sinatra would take you out if he were still alive. Gee, you're not at all self-absorbed, are you?"

SM: "Maestro?

("MY WAY", words by Scottius Maximus, sung to the tune of a song called "My Way.")

And now, it's been two years, and so it's here, my 'blogiversary'.
700 posts, but you'll see that most
Were really rotten...best left forgotten.
Posts about me, H-G-T-V, Kirk's Kidney Stone, Barry Manilow.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Bad songs, I wrote a few
Superhero I...Superhero II.
Real Men Of Genius, you'd like to mute... 2-0-2-5, and My Blogs Salute.
I penned...Stairway To Hell. How could you miss...Castaway Mel?
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, UFOs...cartoon heroes,
Some bagpipe rock...and TV flops.
More Mt. Rushmores, and Mike Shannon lore,
There's Jacques Rogge...and Matt Foley.
Don't like it here? Then drink more beer.
I did it my way.

Old timer games...and Ozzy's shames,
The World Series; Tolkien allegories.
Such bad haiku, band names that blew. I have to ask...is that smell you?.
To think, I did all that, and may I say --- not in a shy way,
Oh no, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For 'Random Thoughts', speeches uttered not.
And the Arch walk...some Pirate Talk.
I'm dateline dazed, but not Ablaze!
Why don't you see...I hate rugby!
Isn't it plain, that I'm not insane?---
I did it my way.

I did it- my way!"

(Crowd roars approval)
