The Challenge!

Up For Poker is issuing a challenge to any other threesome in a last-longer for the WPBT Winter Classic. Here's how I figure it will work:
1) Final results of the three entrants will be added together, lowest total wins.
2) Each member of each team will throw in $5 and the winning team will split the last-longer prize pool. (All teams are playing against all teams and the winning team will win the total prize pool.)
So find your team, and leave it in the comments. I'll bring a list to Vegas and you all can hand over your money. After all, you think anyone can beat the combination of Otis' skill, G-Rob's agression and my luck?
Well, guess what? I still haven't discussed this with Otis or G-Rob, but it's on again. The Up For Poker crew is challenging you. Same rules. Same prizes.
(FYI: Comments currently require approval while I work out some spam issues, so you won't see your comment right away.)
Some recognition of the 2005 Last Longer Champions representing the great city of St. Louis is missing from this post.
Dr. J, Marty and Myself do not approve.
I haven't discussed this with CK or Dawn Summers yet, but that's okay. They're just going to have to deal, whether they like it or not.
Team "Just a Girl": CK, Dawn Summers, F-Train
In the event that Dawn Summers retardedly decides not to come to Vegas, I reserve the right to substitute her with someone equally as bad at poker. And equally feminine / gay.
I will gather my team and report back. Only requirement will be to have a BAC over .1 throughout the tourney and ask the dealer if I won the bonus after raking in a pot.
Team "Just A Girl"?
WEAK.
I like "Benetton Beards" a lot better.
Ok, upping the BAC content to .2
I present TEAM WHEELCHAIR!!!
Drizz
Al Cant Hang
StB (Milwaukee Steve)
Team motto: "If you can't beat them at the table, beat them to the bar!"
I'll find a couple more suckers and we're in. Team Gambling Tales is in!
Sounds like there is a need for an all Canadian Team... Fuel and I will need one more!
Pauly, Derek, Change100 -- we are team Tao of Pot.
Anyone else from ATL want to take this on?
The Rooster rolls solo...or as I like to call it, Team Rooster.
Alright I am in.. Team Waffles - Doc, Jordon, and I.
Despite the obvious advantages in our favour.... YES! Favour has a U in the English language!
Lock in Team Canada.
Fuel
Schaubs
Bam-Bam
It'll be a little warm up so "ya'll" can get used to hearing, "Canada wins the Gold!"
A doctor, a lawyer and a computer programmer walk into a bar...

Looks like there will be no Dawn Summers at the Winter Gathering. We are replacing her with . . .
The Wife!
I'm hoping that I got chosen for team "Just a Girl" based on femininity and not bad skills - happy to be on it with CK adn F-Train!
TheMark and myself are potentially looking for a 3rd to lock up Team Procedure. Mandatory Rhino visit prior to tournament.
Add another team. Me and two buddies. I will provide clever team and player names later.
Strangely, the totally not-racist ones I suggested for them didn't fly.

I would like to get into the last-longer competition, so I will look for some potential teammates. On the other hand, if anyone needs a third for their team, contact me.
