The Amazing Race DVDTalk Team

Ok, so I'm going through Amazing Race withdraw....

Why not form a DVDTalk Amazing Race team? I'd definately be down for that. I could easily knock out any challenge they've ever done on the show, not to mention that I'm really good at navigation, geography, I speak spanish fluently and Greek and Turkish enough to get around, and I can drive a stick. What else? I'm an engineer so I can build things, and I fly constantly, so I know how to book flights online really well. I'm pretty sure I'd be an Amazing Race superstar.

So, do you want to be on my team? What qualifications do you have that would make you an ideal teammate (or a better teammate to pair with someone else on here?)

How do we get on the race? What would our angle be?

What would it say under our title? Some suggestions: "Never Met in Real Life", "Internet Posters", "Hates Charla and Mirna", "Nerds", or something along those lines.

Oh, wait... I should throw in that I'm down down for sleeping in airports and on planes the entire trip to save cash. Also, I'm good with eating only airplane food and free samples from the Chinese food places at the airport foodcourt.

I can drive an automatic, I make award-winning chili, and I'm not afraid to use my sexuality to get what I want. I also snore.

-1 I want the sympathy from the viewer community. More drama = more viewers = higher probability the legs we come in last are non-elimination legs.

But who here can speak English with a foreign accent? That makes all the difference, you know.

Not brain but tongue.

Can drive a stick, but it would be freaky to drive a stick on the wrong side of the road in some countries.

I can drive a stick very well and could possibly pull out some Tokyo Drift-style, uh, drifting if needed.

I don't speak any foreign languages well, but I like to piece together what I know with some appropriately accented English.

I could make gay references to Phil's package when we get to the mat.

I think the way to go is to have 2 teams rep DVDTalk in order to build a little suspense through natural opposition.

For instance, Team Ninja and Team Pirate. Or Team Lightsaber and Team Adamantium. Or Team James and Team Maine....

I could be on Team Ninja because Pirates suck.

I have television experience -- I have been interviewed by Chris Hansen on Dateline several times.
