In our world, we chase perfection. What would happen if someone invented the perfect...waffle?
About this creation

It took a lifetime, but I finally found
The perfect waffle recipe

You'll never find a batter any better in this whole stinkin' town
One little bite and I'm sure that you'll agree

Your eyes roll back and your knees get weak
Aw, you're gonna lick your plate clean
People come from miles around just to study my technique
I make the best darn waffles this world has ever seen

I'm the Waffle King (Waffle King)... yeah
Waffle King (Waffle King)
That's what they call me
Waffle King (Waffle King)
Hey, I'm the Waffle King

Everywhere I go, the people cheer
I never have to wait in line

People say, "Right this way, sir... Your money's no good here.'
Some day I betcha they'll build me a shrine
And everybody say, "Well, I'm your biggest fan!"
"I seen your picture in People Magazine!"
Folks come from around the world just to shake my hand
If you don't believe in the power of the waffle lemme show you just what I mean

I'm the Waffle King (Waffle King)
Make you want to scream and shout
Waffle King (Waffle King)
That's my name, don't wear it out
Waffle King (Waffle King)
Make no mistake about it I'm the Waffle King... yeah

Roll out the red carpet, 'cause here I come
All you peons better scram

Out of my way, you worthless piece of scum
Don't you know who I am?
Hey!

I wanna see you grovel, you waffle-eatin' fools
Everybody, on your knees
You wanna buy a waffle, you're playin' by my rules
Go on, beg me... lemme hear you say "pretty please"

Can't you tell the universe revolves around me?
Don't you know you suckers owe me everything?

And can't you see that I'm the highest form of life that there could ever be?
Everybody all around the world, stand up and sing
Come on now...

Waffle King
Hey, batter batter
Waffle King
Hot on your platter
Waffle King
Say, what's the matter
Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know who I am?

Tell 'em, girls
(He's the Wa Wa Wa Wa Wa Wa Waffle King)
Yeah yeah
(He's the Wa Wa Wa Wa Wa Wa Waffle King)
Tell the truth now
(He's the Wa Wa Wa Wa Wa Wa Waffle King)
Don't you know who I am?
Don't you know who I am?

Yeah! I haven't built a castle since 1990! That was fun! This creation was the bee in my bonnet over Christmas break. A long time coming, it is a relief to be done! I consider it the crown jewel of my Weird Al collection, so you should too.
I want to thank my wife for taking the pictures. Get this, gentlemen: this creation was photographed by her on VALENTINE'S DAY. And she's not even one of those people who doesn't care about overly-commercialized holidays. So, after our incredibly romantic date in the afternoon, she bit the bullet and grabbed her camera. Oh, and these pictures were brilliant! I didn't even need to edit them (besides cropping). Thanks, sweetie.

One last picture, just because I spent so much time on these areas, and didn't feel like they were seen well in the pictures. The entire left side of the castle was landscaped, too, but didn't get seen.
One last note - the waffle was originally supposed to have toppings, but I gave that up. Every time I tried to make them, I just got hungry!
***BONUS*** My 18-month old son is in one of the photo backgrounds. A comment to the first to find it!

I know I'm late, but I thought it be fun to try your search..... (three minutes later...) Is he the charming young boy in the frame above the line, "People say : right this way sir.... your moneys no good here"? I hope I got it right, Because I don't know why there would be a boy that you aren't the father of in that room..... *shudders* |

"People say, right this way sir, your money's no good here..." That's where the kid can be seen! That, and you left out the fade out lyrics. See link: http://lyrics.wikia.com/%22Weird_Al%22_Yankovic:Waffle_King EDIT: Oh, drat, this comment moved after I edited it. It used to be sandwiched in between my other two. |

Er, you can put your socks back on. I meant for those to be wood detailing around the door. |

Your son is in the picture with the statue, gates wth people, and the lyrics say something about building a shrine. There's also a waffle tower in the background. |

Hey! Waffle King! Very nice set - huge and elaborate. Yes, I saw Nathan (or rather the back of his head in there!) Some of the details cracked me up - the "oil can" syrup dispensers, the waffle cooking throne. I'm gonna have this song stuck in my head all day now. |

Fantastic! The build is great and conveys the attitude of the song -- it's a triumph! Really like the brooms over the doorway, the yellow tile of the arch, and especially the waffle making area. |

Okay, now to actually comment on this thing. This is definately your best yet; the sets are perfect, but as you noticed, didn't quite get enough screen time for all the work you put in. And may I add that your wife's picture taking is spot-on perfect? You should go thank her a couple dozen more times for doing such a great job. It's really the icing on the cake. |

After the main picture your son's in the sixth picture down. Very nice photography by your wife! This is filled with so many details I don't which to point out so I guess I'll just say: Mmmmmm...Waffles... |
