once upon a time,
in a land far, far away,
there was a two headed turtle with one name.
they called him cubert.
his best friend, leonard, lived upstairs.
...with the smallest baby octopus that ever lived. though, might i add, not the cutest.
together, they spent hours playing tether ball (baby octopus won every game, to leonard's dismay), baking cupcakes...
and making giiiiaaaant cheeseburgers for their autistic-epileptic cousin, umberto, who never left the house without his trusted yellow helmet and the same jean shorts he wore the day he was born.
for all his misgivings, however, umberto was an incredible craftsman.
he spent hours in the backyard, assembling some of the greatest concoctions the world has ever known.
...like the scrabble keyboard.
and the acrylic piano... though often accredited to Nicholaus W. Schimmel of Braunschweig, Germany.
