Interest-list meme

Ganked from damn near everyone:

Pick an interest from my interest list that you either 1) don't know anything about or 2) can't understand why I would dig it. Then I'll tell you all about it.

Sifl and Olly was a very odd, very funny show that was on MTV late at night in the late '90s. I can't even remember how I discovered it. Most people thought it was bizarre (including my then-boyfriend, who mocked it a lot even as he watched it with me), but I adored it. The main characters were sock puppets who had bizarre conversations and sang strange songs. There was one really cranky puppet named Precious Roy that was always selling crap and saying totally weird things in this cranky-old-man voice: "This is Precious Roy. Buy my hookers! [Bleep] you!"

Ah, memories...

And to expand...

There's a public-access show here in Seattle called "The Handy and Bandy Show," wherein hand puppets do wacky stuff. H&B was a big thing in Seattle right around the time that Real World Seattle was being filmed. Shortly afterward, Sifl and Olly was born.

Coincidence? The lawsuit said otherwise.

Wow. I didn't know that. You learn something new every day!
