No, I'm saying that we could get Ozzy Osbourne to perform with live animals
for us. ...Or was it Alice Cooper? Trent Reznor? Marilyn Manson? Tommy
Smothers?
We could BBQ the snake, I guess. ...What sound do live snakes make when
doused with Bulls-Eye and dropped onto a searing hot grille?
The chicken is right-out, though. I can't stand the smell of singed
feathers.
Heck, we could BBQ Ozzy, Alice, Trent, and Marilyn -- Tommy could do his
Yo-Yo Man schtick for us..

Mmmm man oh man, am I getting hungry!
