Holy sh!t, dude.

Wildman rocker Ozzy Osbourne has reportedly been invited to dinner at the White House by US president George W Bush, according to reports. It follows the hugely successful launch of a new reality TV show following the UK singer and his family.
I thought I'd be on a wanted poster on the wall, not invited to his place to tea
Ozzy Osbourne The Osbournes has become music channel MTV's biggest ever hit in the US, with more than three million viewers and President Bush is said to be a huge fan.
Osbourne said he was stunned to be invited, according to the Express newspaper.
He said: "I thought I'd be on a wanted poster on the wall, not invited to his place to tea."
Family values
The TV show follows the real-life family sagas of the former Black Sabbath frontman - previously better known for stage antics like biting the head off a bat than for being a family man.
Osbourne, 53, his wife and manager Sharon and their children Kelly, 17, and Jack, 16, have all been filmed going about their daily lives in their Beverly Hills home.
Osbourne's other daughter Aimee refused to take part in the programme, and even moved out of the family home while filming took place.
Osbourne suffered from drink and drug problems in the past
Viewers see Osbourne giving his children advice on sex, drink and drugs, arguing with neighbours who keep him awake at night by playing folk music too loud and having to seek advice from his son on how to use a new digital TV.
The singer, originally from Birmingham, made his name in heavy metal band Black Sabbath and earned a reputation as one of the wildest rock stars.
He has battled drink and drug addictions, been notorious for trashing cars and hotel rooms, bitten the head off a live dove in a meeting with record executives and spent time in jail after urinating on The Alamo.
He still releases solo albums and heads the popular annual Ozzfest rock festival.
Viewers will also see scenes such as the family moving home, and packing boxes with one marked "linens" and another marked "dead things".
The show will start on 25 May on MTV UK and Ireland.
ME - I think he bleats like a depraved goat. (*There* - if *that* doesn't start a flame war that brings the whole *site* down, *nothing* will....). "Up my nose again... I'm snortin' it up there through a hose again..."
Now, from Ozzy, on the other hand, we have
"People look to me and say
Is the end near? When's the final day?
What's the future of mankind?
HOW should I know - I got left behind!
Everyone goes through changes
Looking to find the truth
Don't look to me for answers
Don't ask me - I DON'T KNOW!
Some "Satanist..."
I could care less either way.
Its amazing what money can do, aint it?
I'm sure the check got cashed.
Holy sh!t, dude.
If Ozzy agrees to bite off Ashcroft's head, it would be a definite pay-per-view event. Speaking of biting, throw in Mike Tyson as a third roommate. :-)
Now, now. That's a little bit out there to be believable.
Will Ozzy Sing War Pigs?
War Pigs
Generals gathered in their masses
just like witches at black masses
evil minds that plot destruction
sorcerers of death's construction
in the fields the bodies burning as the war machine keeps turning
death and hatred to mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds... Oh lord yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
they only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
as the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of god has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, god is calling on their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
ALL RIGHT NOW!
Or something like that. I haven't seen the latest numbers, so I can't say, but I'm pretty sure the MTV line is hovering around 64, so there's room to move up, if you're aiming high, that is.
If it is true, it'd better be because Bush wants it. Otherwise they're high on approval ratings over at 1600 PA. Ya think they know that this can only be sustained by either war or by doing nothing?
Both Roosevelt and Reagan got away with their second terms on the latter. TR's nephew & namesake squeaked into his third and fourth terms and history on the former.
So, does Ozzie bring the votes, or not?
