The Amazing Race. Read the story before you watch the vid!!


Feeling the call of sibling bonding and adventure, Crack 'Ho and Malibu set out in Spring '08 to apply for The Amazing Race. For those not in the know (which included Crack 'Ho as of this taping), TAR is a reality show on CBS that pits teams of couples who know each other against 10 or 11 other couples in a race around the world. The race is fraught with dilemmas, obstacles and other things that can either strengthen or ruin a relationship. Who better to try out than us? Hm. The first step in the application process involves filling out an application (duh). But this is no ordinary application. It asks questions that even your spouse would hesitate to ask! Nonetheless, 'Ho and I completed the application and moved on to step two: create a 3 minute video explaining why we should be on TAR. 'Ho came over to the Barnes' House on a stormy night where we spent 3 hours taping to come up with a 3 minute video. The taping was interrupted by a tornado, from which we hid in the parking lot of Ikea nearby. Too bad that wasn't on the video! Anyway, our 15 minute outtake video is freaking hilarious, but rife with expletives that would make Mom of 'Ho shudder, and may eliminate any future job prospects for those on tape. So, without further ado, here's the 3-minute toned down version we sent TAR. Needless to say, since the show is on TONIGHT and 'Ho and I are in Atlanta, we didn't make it. They got, instead, a couple of blond "Southern" belles instead. Ratings have plummeted.

Of course, Ms. 'Ho got herself in to an Amazing Race of a different sort. And this one, she's gonna walk away from as a total winner...

Update: The "Southern Belles" were eliminated last night, in all their pink-matching-outfit glory, with tears to accompany the exit. They just could not get those kiwis crushed in time!

Who needs a tornado when you've got these two blowing through town? TAR's the one that blew it, big time. ... And when do we get to see the fabled outtakes?

Whewwww...I am so relieved to see these smart sinnergirls have posted the cleanest version of barb and ho on the amazing race video snippets. Mother of sinnergirls will probably not faint after viewing which is such a positive since Crackie kept us at Piedmont in the infusion suite so long yesterday. She may be fast in many areas of her life, but her drip was real slow, Glad to be a part of the Barbie world...air hugs and kisses...Black Canary
PS I have new video footage of recent infusion experience and will post very soon.

...and what BCB didn't mention was she made 24 Halloween bags for ALL the wonderful PHOC folks. Ho's bag had fake white fangs and a blackberry flavored tongue with warts. Who needs chemo when you can have a tongue like that??? Yeah and the slow drip was due to debris in my port. Too many Cape Cod chips and not enough chard...
and don't worry about Mother of Ho. Her dialup connection times out on vids!
