My name is Ozzy. I'm a heavy metal star. Not everyone can be a heavy metal
star. It requires determination to produce aural sludge of sufficient
volume and satanic reference so that fourteen year-olds will buy my records
and city councils will ban my concerts, thus generating more publicity by
making me a martyr to my audience. My breakfast? RABID BATS. Rabid Bats is
pure, natural furry critter thats crunchy and whole. No additives or
preservatives. The question is not whether RABID BATS is right for you,
but whether you are right for RABID BATS.
