I feel like a dumbass when I post stuff like this, but I've never understood that one.

1. Wasn't there a wheelchair-bound patient on Scrubs who would only say
Pcikles - I just assumed that's where it came from.

Don't feel bad. I think Crashcart is hillarious, but I don't understand
it.

5. "crashcart" refers to
the heart starting device that Emergency Rooms have. Cheney has a bad heart.... needs to have a crashcart on hand at all times... get it?

6. He's had four heart attacks
and has a defibrillator installed in him. Not just a pacemaker, but a defibrillator.

9. Aha! Thanks. I always had this image of a crazy old
guy in a GoCart smashing into people and growling out of the side of his mouth..."terror! fear! tax-cuts! rrrrarrrrrrrrr!!!" Kinda like Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstein.

I just made myself giggle.

12. LOL you just made me giggle too.
now my fellow cube rats are wondering just what the hell is so funny!

That's a great image! Something out of Super Mario Cart for the Nintendo Game Cube jumps to mind.

What a great game idea! where you race around as caricatures of political figures! LOL LOL LOL

10. "Crashchart" is a reference to Cheney's heart problems
Ever seen a hospital scene where an alarm goes off at a patient's bed and the doctors and nurses rush in wheeling a pile of emergency medical equipment? THAT'S a crashcart.

:headbang:
rocknation

P.S. I have nothing to say about Laura Bush on the grounds that my mother liked to wear a cabbage rose in her hair and my father called her Cabbage.

Pickles was the long-suffering wife of Buddy Sorell
on the Dick Van Dyke show.

15. They keep her in a jar. And than trot her out to defend her
husband who is incapable of defending himself.

She's been out a lot lately - her poll numbers are higher than *'s.

If he picks up -she'll be shelved again. Like a pickle in a jar.

17. It reminds me of a stepford wife name
and anyone named Pickles belongs in a kitchen. I also imagine someone named Pickles giggles stupidly a lot.

18. I'm with the DVD on this one
I too always think of "Pickles" from Dick Van Dyke show--frequently mentioned but never around "doing" anything.
