Wow, I found the end of the internet

I just did a web search for the exact phrases “severe awesomeness watch” and “severe awesomeness warning.” In each case, google did not have a match for the quoted phrase.

“Two in the Bush, one in the Cheney.”

God bless the Internet and/or Wikipedia. They have a very detailed article on the shocker.
