The Final Countdown – Acapella Style Bitch!
Monday, March 1, 2010 at 8:17PM 
AHA - Your Gay!Ah another stupid Tuesday morning. The freaking weekends fly by way too freaking fast. Some good things happened to the Waltdog over the weekend; before getting started on the actual blog, let me ramble about a few things:
1) The Waltdog pulled a whammy on wifesense on Saturday. Wifesense went into the bathroom after I finished up and I used the last two sheets of toilet paper. She finished up before realizing she was in ‘no man’s land’. Her attempts at asking me to get her a fresh roll of toilet paper fell on deaf ears. She had to get her poop-crusted ass up off the toilet and go into the hallway bathroom to retrieve a new roll. Maybe she will finally start pampering our bathroom with some extra rolls of scented fluffy toilet paper now.
2) Our house has been infused with mass shipments of Clementine’s the past few weeks. My oldest son loves them. The funny part about this is he doesn’t eat them. He just puts the slices in his mouth and chomps on them until all of the juice is out of them and then he either spits them on the floor or runs to the trash can and spits them in there. On Saturday morning, he walked over to me with a mouthful of Clementine slices in his hand and gently opened my pocket stuffed them in there. My leg was soaked and sticky (that is what she said). He cracks me up. Do you know what is appealing about Clementine’s? It is the fact that they are so easy to a peel. Get it appealing and a peel? LOL. That is so freaking corny. Seriously though; it is such a great feeling when you can get the entire fruit peeled in one fowl swoop!
Cutes picture ever on Waltsense
3) This winter Walt has transformed his image. I have bought a series of new winter hats. They are vintage hats that have the pom-poms on the top. 
Winter Hat - Represent! This reason was two fold: wifesense hates them because she thinks I look like an idiot, and two, I am going to finally have a new nickname. Winter Hat Walt. That has a great ring to it, doesn’t it? Just think about what people will say: “Hey, there is Winter Hat Walt. I wonder what he has been up too, that awesome bastard! He looks fantastic and those hats are slimming!” “Hey there is Winter Hat Walt hanging with the old crew; Crazy-Eyes Cupchak, Slimdini, Jimmy the Dog Whisperer and Kevin.” The worst part about this whole thing is I don’t see anyone I know anymore, so no one even knows that I wear winter hats. My kids will be forced to call me Winter Hat Walt. I will get a nickname goddamnit!
I was cruising the internet last week avoiding everything work related. It was just one of those weeks. There are a few songs from my early days that I find almost untouchable. They are classics. Here are a few of them:
Take On Me, anything by Air Supply and Chicago, Somebody by Depeche Mode, anything from Duran Duran, That song that starts “I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, that much is true.” It is a song by a male and a female. That song is awesome and of course anything (and I mean anything) from Hall and Oates. Oates even has an awesome 80’s mustache.
There are two songs that really capture the essences of the 80’s though: Mr. Roboto and The Final Countdown.
Lots of Awesomeness
Whenever those songs come on the radio I have to pull over and get my singing game face on. I belt those tunes out like there were no tomorrow and I am not ashamed to admit it.
The music is simply breathtaking, rivaling only Mozart and Beethoven.
It turns out music is for pussies. Check out this video, The Final Countdown – Acapella Style!

Winter Hat Walt won't work. 98% of all nicknames don't have 3 words in it unless they Wrestle or it's setting the final name up - The Great...The Ugly....Triple D's...
The Human League sang "i was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar that much is true"
The song is called "Don't You Want Me", I believe. The soundtrack of many an 8th grade dance for yours truly.
The song that captures the 80's for me, aside from the Breakfast Club theme song by Simple Minds (Don't you forget about me) is Major Tom, coming home. It's on some car commercial now and I love it.
Winter Hat Walt. ROTFL! I have a hat fetish, too, and my wife also thinks I look like a dork, especially in my authentic Indiana Jones' hat.
Wooly Mammoth Walt...Six crates of clementines are on the way...and some "depends" so your butt won't get too wet when Hudson tosses them to you!
Careful what you wish for! Um...ever see Seinfeld where George wants the nickname T-Bone and ends up being CoCo the Monkey? Winter Hat Walt could end up being something much, much worse...
Can't forget Tainted Love and Blister in the Sun when talking 80's music
