“We thought of it, sort of, the week before. And then the day came and we’re just, like, so nervous. We’re like, ‘No no no there’s no way,’ you know? And it was, like, ‘We’re not really gonna wear these dresses.’ We had tuxes as a backup because we thought we were gonna chicken out. And we did. And we were like, ‘Let’s not do that. Let’s not do that.’ But then we were like, ‘Let’s take a little bit of the acid and see what happens.’ So we did that and of course like an hour later we were like, ‘We gotta wear the dresses!’”
-- Trey Parker, admitting that he and South Park co-creator Matt Stone were on acid when they showed up at the 2000 Academy Awards in drag
Yup. Acid. It makes every idea a good idea.
Well, look at it this way: the Academy was probably on acid that year when they gave the Best Actress Oscar to Julia Roberts for Erin Brockovich.
