Worst Pickup Lines Rushmore

1. There's a price to pay for being so gorgeous. And that price is your phone number.
2. You must be Jamaican. Because you're Jamaican me crazy.
3. Would you like some raisins? How about a date?
4. Do you know CPR? Because you take my breath away.

Extra Bonus Rushmore:
5. Are your legs tired? You've been running through my mind all day.
6. Are your from Tennessee? Because you're the only ten I see.
7. If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put "U" and "I" together.
8. And of course: "Do fries go with that shake?"

What is "Carve My Rushmore?"

Few man-made sights inspire quite like Borglum's Mt. Rushmore in southwestern South Dakota. I'm not looking to inspire here. I'm looking for you to leave me your "Mt. Rushmore" lists. It really doesn't matter what the list is, and there are only a few rules:

1) Your list must only contain four items
2) It must be "family-friendly"
3) It must either be an original Rushmore or a Replymore--a reply to someone else's Rushmore. To clarify--you can't just say "that's a good Rushmore" or "that's a lame Rushmore" without posting your own Rushmore in reply.

So to recap: A Rushmore is your "Top Four" list of who or what would be engraved in granite if a mountain shrine to whatever topic you desire were to be created.
