Yeah right. Yeahhh right. This guy's a faggot. This guy's some sort of faggot Indian in the tepee.

Lighthouses rule. You don't like the lighthouse? You suck. What is this, Seashorse Captain? What is this Seahorse Seashell Party? Who didn't invite me?

Why didn't I get invited Seahorse Seahell. What is this? Get real. I'm in love with sea horses. I'm in love with them, they're so beautiful and cute, I'm in love with the seahorses.

They're fucking unreal, I love them. They're like all the clocks. I love them. I love seashores, and I love looking at 'em, and I love seashells. I love seashell things. I love things with seashells and seahorses on 'em.

Like blankets.
And towels.
And little bags.
I love 'em.

Seahorses.
Forever.

O+A had a great contest idea today with getting listeners to take hallucinogens and then being locked into closets.

warning: did a bit of research here....this could ruin the bit for us. it kind of does for me. :(

The Tape: Can you please tell us the real story behind drinking out of cups… We’ve heard you were locked in a closet on lsd … We’ve also heard shrooms. What’s the truth?

DD: the internet is an insane place. its just me watching tv with the sound off and i’m interpreting what i was seeing. the only drugs i was on was the proper amount of nyquil because i was really sick. i hadn’t even smoked weed at the time of recording that piece, which is probably why it ended up the way it did.

Drinking Out of Cups is by far the most heavily requested song at my shows. It’s never played live but, however, due to the pressure from audience members to play it, I feel it is only fair that I work on a live version. Drinking Out of Cups is a composition for voice on audiocassette.


it's still brilliantly worded randomness, but the truth about a tv being the visual source ruins the illusion of pure randomness that was what made it so amazing.

Liam Lynch was the guy behind the Sifl & Ollie show.

Not at all. I thought it was unfunny shit to begin with.

He probably knew his grandma was gonna see that interview so he didn't admit to using drugs

[BIV]

But Don, that because you are a humorless get off my lawn type.

[WhiskeyWhispers]

Something smells like bullshit.

Yeah I ain't buying it. I have tripped many times on acid, mesc and shrooms, and that guy was definitely on one of those 3.

If he wasn't tripping his face off, then he's just normally a fruit loop.

I'd have even given him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he was Robotripping (and I'm talking two, two and a half bottles of the good shit). But "proper amount of Nyquil?" I mean, come on.

[NeonTaster]

Who cares? It's terrifically delivered, off the cuff nonsense. I find it funny because it's funny. Not because he was in the closet on LSD.

[moegolden]

Not at all. I thought it was unfunny shit to begin with.

I don't know how anyone who enjoys Ron and Fez, let alone O and A possibly couldn't like this. Is it a contrarian complex? There are several things that O and A like that I think are overrated, but this is not one of them. I don't even care for drug humor, but this is just funny in a ridiculous way.

There is really nothing to compare this to, and that's amazing, given youtube.

Like I said, if it was really a thing in which he was taking cues from a tv it becomes less funny to me, but it's still funny. If it is really some kind of alan ginsberg performance art, it's still funny.

[LiddyRules]

No one is saying him being on LSD makes it funny or doesn't make it funny. We're just saying he's lying by saying he was just under the "proper dose of Nyquil."

[krinkle krinkle]

can anyone make a ringtone for this? basically any line would be great

[NeonTaster]

That does sound like Anthony saying "I was driving at the proper speed limit".

Liam Lynch was the guy behind the Sifl & Ollie show.

I Love Sifl & Ollie! I bust out the DVDs about every two months and still giggle my ass off. Precious Roy rules.

Amen to that. :action-sm

[Not You]

He could have been on Nyquil with a really high fever that made him delirious.

[Freese]

Yeah I ain't buying it. I have tripped many times on acid, mesc and shrooms, and that guy was definitely on one of those 3.

If he wasn't tripping his face off, then he's just normally a fruit loop.

No way, not now, not ever.

[Sprite]

Lead me to the building.... Fuck you.

[NortonsHeiny]

Not my chair not my problem

[Hobo_Cum]

I wanna know, if he was watching TV what the FUCK was he watching? Gay indians? Mr. Tying Knots and balloon hands? Johnny Hammersticks?

Unless he's watching TrippyTv.com he's full of shit

[TheSqueakyWheel]

Does anyone have links to some good tones from this?

if it were watching tv, I would think he would be holding the remote, changing channels

[Piffft]

Hold on be still...

I didn't find it all that funny either, and that was the first time. The bit played out real fast.

[poontang]

is there a youtube video for this?
