The only thing missing is the turlutu, mother-in-law's tongue!

Grégoire uses his compressor to inflate the tires on all his bikes. e has at least 6 of them, all with two wheels. All impeccable!
He also has one with three wheels, all of which pedal in the air to turn a kind of hat.
At home, he has pots and pans that move by themselves.
He loves all-mechanical cameras. His only camera is the Exa 1A,the cheaper version of the Exakta Varex. He has another, the Mamiya 645 1000S. This is his medium format.
When he wants to go to the shower, he has to get the machines to vote. Anything square means no shower. So he waits for the triangle, always impatiently! He blows bubbles in it.
He likes to paint next to his Miniscriber. By turning the wheel or clicking the button, he reads poems galore. Grégoire is a lover! He has another machine, like a mailbox, which spits out messages of fake love stories. He doesn't really like it! To relax or defend himself, he plugs in his Asemograph.
When he bikes out to the campsite, he hesitates to take his chair... Both of them are in fits of laughter. The only thing missing is the turlutu, mother-in-law's tongue!
