Lee — You’ve never seen any hair care appliances because most of those people are plastic and perfect. I’d need one trunk just for my hair care items. I wonder if they could ship that stuff ahead to the next checkpoint for me? Thanks for the good wishes.

ann of the shampoo bag — I’m counting on you to be my drill sergeant. Practice your screaming skills!

Lee- if we get chosen I’ll make Kathy practice walking up and down hills with a backpack. We also need to practice sleeping outside the train station, in the rain, waiting for the ticket office to open.

Just remember, if you get picked for the show you have to be able to carry everything you take with you. And I’m pretty confident neither you nor Ann can carry a steamer trunk…let alone two of them! And I’m pretty certain I’ve never seen a blow dryer or a curling iron on that show. From the looks of those back packs, I think you’d be real lucky if there’s room for an extra pair of shoes and a tooth brush.

Other than that, good luck!!

tfa — I remember reading that story and thinking “At least it was him and not me.” See, that’s the kind of thing that will get me on CNN. Be worried.

Reading this, I am reminded of the story of the German man who drove his brand new, top of the range Audi into a river, because his sat-nav didn't tell him that the bridge had been removed ten years previously. tfa's last blog post..Never Return To A Lit Forework

FerdC — At least a t-shirt that says “I made it this far. I can do another 20,000 miles!”

Lauren — Awesome. I’ll take it! You could do a series “Where in the World are Ann and Kathy?”

Amy — I still laugh about that day all these years later. I think it’s YOU who should go on the race. You’re the only one in the family who got the directionally-adept gene.

Forest Parks — What you need to do is watch the show when it comes out, and imagine me doing all the tasks the real contestants get, and you can laugh at the thought of me doing them.

Shieldmaiden96 — That is exactly what you could expect from us, and the sole reason we think we should be on the race. I’d love to see a team like that! I’m adding you to my blogroll. Your stuff slays me.

minijonb — I’m convinced I’ll have my 15 minutes of fame, but I’m not sure how. I’m a little scared it may be something that will require me to move out of the country.

Meg — That is such a great idea. So smooth! Hey, maybe instead of them putting my name at the bottom of the screen whenever they show us losing, they’ll put my blog URL. I could use the exposure.

Regan — It’s cute, but it makes me hungry for candy! Not good. Not good at all.

I have a website! Its mine and my friend’s.

If you do make it, be sure the camera crew gets shots of you taking notes for your blog. Wear your Junk Drawer t-shirt. Be caught asking everyone directions to the nearest internet cafe. Say things like, "OK, let's stop talking about HUMOR-BLOGS.com and go this way." Meg's last blog post..We Bonded Over German Atrocities

I try to imagine my older sister and I on that show. It would consist of us 1) laughing a lot 2) her laughing until she peed herself and 3) us coming in last. They'd probably edit out the 4) us getting drunk and laughing some more. When I watched TV I was addicted to that show.

You could end up being one of the best comedy duos the world has seen!

I have never seen the show but it looks awesome.

Ah, GPS, definitely the way to travel. At least there won’t be anyone instructing, “Pretend you’re standing on the map!!”

Lauren — Thu, 15 May 2008 12:30:23 +0000

LMAO. It took me a few minutes to stop laughing before I could write my comment. I would LOVE to see you on that show. And while you could write nothing I would be blogging my heart out about you

Sounds like you should get a prize for just arriving to the audition!

Jenny — Keep telling myself I’m insane? Or telling myself I can actually get picked?

Don — Thanks. Like we have a prayer. Hoping my new friend, the GPS, will get us there and back. God help me if I have to read a map.

Amy Cates — Lucy and Ethel is exactly how we see ourselves. We would not disappoint!

robert bourne — And probably if we didn’t make it. I’m sure I’ll be seeing and meeting a lot of interesting characters while waiting in line.
