But then one day, whilst whiling away a sunny summer Sunday creating vast mud huts, tributaries and totems to the greatest zzxjoanw player the world has ever seen (whose name, sadly, young Crazyfish could never wrap his linguistic ability around) a sound flowed into Crazyfish's ears. It was a sound unlike any other. The words flowing earthward captured his young imagination.

Young Crazyfish just had to find out where this wondrous sound was soaring from. Even if it meant he'd be ten minutes late for dinner.

There, in a car parked on what was poetically called by lovers young and old, U.S. Route 45, Crazyfish heard words that would forever change his life.

"I'd like to be under the sea/In an octopus' garden in the shade/He'd let us in, knows where we've been/In his octopus' garden in the shade."

This atonal caterwauling from Ringo Starr transfixed the heretofore unfortunately tone deaf Crazyfish. Ringo verbally painted a lush and dramatic seascape that forever changed the impressionable young Crazyfish's life.

From that moment on he wanted to be 'warm below the storm.' He longed to 'sing and dance around' knowing they couldn't be found (which was quite a usual dream from our young hero because, along with being tone deaf, his dancing left much to be desired). Ringo's pharmaceutically enhanced vision of coral and waves and joy for every girl and boy was all the imaginative Crazyfish needed. He knew his life was to be forever changed and that he would do everything in his powers to find this 'Octopus's Garden' of which his new guru sang praises.

Later, after heroic lifeguards pulled him from the bottom of the ocean and cleared his lungs of sea water and kelp (besides singing and dancing swimming wasn't one of Crazyfish's talents either), he knew although he could never live in this mythical 'Octopus's Garden' he could dedicate his life to bringing the vision bestowed upon him by that wondrous song to the world he could inhabit.

And there, my good folks, is the story of Crazyfish and the denizens he creates to live in the 'Octopus's Garden' of your choice.
