Can we get personal for a minute? Seriously, can we?
Come closer.
See, I’ve never been stoned. Like ever. I guess it’s just me not being in the right place at the right time consistently for my entire life. Either that, or the indisputable fact that I’m supa-uptight.
However, even though I’m not well acquainted with the herby goodness, I can still appreciate art inspired by it. After all, I’m sure 20-30 percent of the music on my iPod was made under the influence of Mary Jane or something else like it.
On that note, remember Sifl and Olly?
Sifl and Olly was on MTV in the late nineties and it was awesome. The main characters were two spaced-out sock puppets and a cast of equally bizarre, nonsensical supporting puppets. It was all good clean, non-sequitur laden fun. You didn’t have to be under the influence of any chemicals to enjoy it, but it sure as hell couldn’t hurt.
Or, you know, that’s what I hear.
Anyway, I remember watching a marathon of this show my freshman year in college in my brother’s dorm and thinking it was the greatest thing ever. My most specific memory is of them interviewing an orgasm.
If you haven’t noticed, this is one of those posts where the only real point is to say “remember Sifl and Olly? That was great.” It’s a shame they’ve never released them on DVD — which is rather perplexing.
Here’s an episode of Sifl and Olly I dug up on YouTube. Good times.
