Day 8
10:56am
Here I sit in this seat this truck she looks so swell, 12 long days i've gotta hold out, i'll wait through the garbage and smell.
Everyday we get a chance to sleep in the bed in the box, but Carey however never wants to go, cause she likes the smell of my socks.
There's action all around me from the left and to the right, friendly faces in the daytime and mental people out at night.
I look into the pet store as the animals jump around, I know how those critters feel being locked in my own vehicular pound.
I can't wait to win this contest cause I miss my beer and the sun, on Friday i'll run naked through the mall so that you all know I won.
9:36am
I'm a bit upset. Today all the Miss Rodeo ladies are walking and using the stage right beside us and we can't talk to them. dammit. Oh yeah, go and see Sugar Sammy at the Winspear on January 12th, he's pretty funny.
Wish I had my cowboy hat.
-Kelly
8:20am
So they cut off our communication from the outside world. They can silence my voice, but they can't silence my hand. Cause it doesn't really make much noise anyway. I'm also unable to put any body parts outside the vehicle. We now have signs that answer peoples dumb question, which I'm glad to have. I'm sick of explaining blatenly obvious scenarios to lowbrow, common-senseless people. If your illiterate then watch from a distance. Also, try a mango-hurricane booster juice if you never have, it'll change your life.
-Kelly got breakfast
Day 7
7:30pm
So I came in second on the trivia contest today. No big deal., And I told them not to bring me salad, that I needed something filling. I'm gettin a burger. My boss came by today and told me to step it up. Oh I will cause its the last week. Time to shine. Also, don't come here to tell me about your life problems. this isn't a confession booth and just cause I can't leave doesn't mean I have to listen.

2 nights in a row have been a 4:00am wake up call. Thanks guys. Thanks Kennedy- your good drunk support bud. Thumbs up man. Our luxuries were taken away this morning. No cards, Jenga, doodling paper or CD's and DVD's. Oh well. Haha! I'm growing a moustache in suport of prostate cancer for the month of November. It's not a good moustache-but it's the thought that counts. Also, I'm rocking a poppy to show respect for our fallen fore fathers. November is important.

Day 6
4:16pm
Well good day folks, got to sleep in the bed last night and guess what? get to sleep there again tonight! Todays challenge was a scavenger hunt and Carey and I tied on items but Cory was short a few. The tie breaker was my time on the hunt. Last night Harley, Shawn and Shane stopped by at 3am. Working the night shift at Peterbilt, its hard to make social interation between 4pm and 1am. Thanks guys.
Today saw Kate, Paula, Travis, Tanis and Tanis' friend from Saskabush. I cant wait until dinner, we got salad for lunch. a fricken salad. How does a man survive on foliage? Meat and potaoes.

Day 5
5:15pm
Howdy folks, I just destroyed at the Jenga challenge. If my boss ever says I weld like a dog shyt'n broken glass, then I'll remind him how steady my welding hand is. Tonight I sleep in the bed and I don't have to snooze sitting up with a seatbelt on. I'll be fresh as a daisy. By fresh I mean well slept, not fresh scent. I have to pee so bad. OK back in the truck and Mike E came to visit. Thanks broseph. Dean, Jesse, and Geoff from Sumit Trailer stopped by at lunch to give their cheers. The K-97 staff here are very cool and have a good sense of humor. The worst part of this competition is that these other contestants are so nice, and thats what makes it difficult for me to be a stinky jerk. Doesn't mean I'm gonna stop - just means theres a smidge of guilt at the back of my mind. After all, it is a competition and its everyone for themselves cause only the strongest survive.
Wound up like an 8-day clock
- Kelly "Jenga" Muir
1:47pm
Well I don't know what the exact rules on verbal abuse are, but i'm prett sure Carey has broke them twice. She's called me a dumbass and an asshole. That's verbal abuse to me. At 1:37pm on Friday she said "Quit being an asshole" when I made fun of how her and Cory are so buddy-buddy.
Somebody better clarify the rules on this.
12:01pm
Welcome to Friday folks. Today we have to wear seatbelts and it’s not too bad. Carey says she hates wearing seatbelts – she also said if she wins she’s going to go get speeding tickets. She takes blood thinner meds to boot, so if she does win I’m taking the bus. I’m glad to know I’m not the stinkiest in here, I was just the first to smell bad. Hahaha but I put my wool socks back on. These two kiss each other’s asses all the time and it’s brutal. They sleep together, make sure each other is comfortable – like a couple of monkeys checking each other for ticks.
Both DVD players aren't working now, radio reception isn’t so great even though the station broadcasting is 40 feet away. Even thought Cory got to pick seating, I still get to sleep in the front or the back by myself and those two sleep together. These people are a bunch of freakin scientists.
Trick or treat smell my feet.
-Kelly
Day 4
3:15pm
For todays challenge, I picked Juvenile Diabetes Foundation of Canada for my charity. I had a particular vantage over the rest cause I am a diabetic with proof, 1 in 3 Canadians are diabetic, and I'm really good at buming money.
I had a diabetic lady from a local glasses store give me $20! I'm gonna win this one for sure. Thanks to all who donated! You've helped a diabetic live life a few degrees better.
I have slept half the day thus far and I can't decide if I want the bed or the back seat. I can do without movies I think. I had best get a good nights sleep cause after "Shannon" I'm gonna zonk for hours.
Goodnight Seattle
- Kelly Muir
12:20pm
Carey drinks Pepsi products she just hides it with a K-97 sticker!
9:10am
I have always had respect for my elders, but today has bumped up the notch. Bob C., a mall walker, is the healthiest 95 year old I have ever met. Drives and has perfect vision, been through 2 world wars and landscaped from here to Mayfield Inn to start the very foundation of this mall. Plus he has some rope in his pocket and can tie a kickass knot.
Today Carey said I should change my underwear. Not gonna happen.
A special thanks to our buddy from PJ Pet Centre who hooked us up with his kickass DVD collection.
I can't wait until lunch. I'm starvin like a hungry person.
-Mr. Muir
Day 3
10:45pm
It's quarter to 11, and we have a girl outside the truck absolutely rocking out to Henry Gross. Good GOD she is crying now and dancing passionately with her sunglasses on. I'm scared for our road hog supervisor. Apparently her dog died last year. Kids, drugs are bad. apparently "Shannon" is about a dog. I think thats a strange name for a pooch.
anyways back to my movies and entire back seat.
- kelly in the back
5:45pm
So I don't know if Carey thinks the same as me, but I believe Cory will be the first to go. It's gonna come down to me and Carey and I dont mind losing the challenges cause every night I sleep alone. I don't truely believe that I was beaten in that competition, where I was stopped wasn't at the line. Will somebody please time that video? Oh well, I'm not upset at all and I don't worry about winning the challenges until we get rid of 1 of those 2.
I hate this harry gross song. Hes a bad singer and his lyrics suck. Larry the Cable Guy poetry with Leo sayer singing.
I was handed a slip asking who was the most annoying, I shoulda circled me. My god, people talk to us about the dumbest stuff for so long. Please don't ask stupid questions folks. If you see me get out of the truck in a K-97 T-Shirt, dont ask if I'm in the contest.
No more segway for me
- Kelly
3:23pm
Good day to those who can read and the hearing impaired.
Today I rode a segway and if you've never tried it, it is so much fun. I even had my nerd glasses on for it. I might sell my Harley for a segway. I have noticed a lot of people stand and stare at us. I don't mind but it sure is strange. Eventually they do talk to us but not until after a good 20 minute standoff. Carey's farts are terrible. Mine are still the worse but thats cause mine take up more volume of the vehicle, hers are just well placed and silent. There was a drug sniffing dog wandering around today and I think we offended him or burnt out some sinuses.
These other two are so friendly and respectful of each other it makes me want to puke. But I wont cause I'll get disqualified. Only because I can't make friends if I want to win. They aren't bad people - just too damn nice.
Time to get mean.

8:28AM
Another day's at end
Mama says she's tired again
No one can even begin to tell her
I hardly know what to say
But maybe it's better that way
If Pop-pa were here I'm sure he'd tell her
Shannon, is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island with a shaded tree
Just like the one in our backyard
Mama tries hard to pretend
That things will get better again
Somehow she's keepin' it all inside her
But finally the tears fill our eyes
And I know that somewhere tonight
She knows how much we really miss her
Shannon, is gone I heard
She's drifting out to sea
She always loved to swim away
Maybe she'll find an island
With a shaded tree
Just like the one in our back yard
Ah, just like the one in our back yard
Ah....
Just like the one in our back yard
12:50am
So I did sme math, and figured out that I'll be sleeping by mysel in the front or the back every night. During the day, I'm sitting with Cory. At least I'm good for sleeping spots. A 6"1 guy needs as much room as he can to snoze. Its 12:50 am and the mall is so noisy, and very bright. I have made great friends with the K97 staff, and they are all invited to my birthday party. They even said I have a face for radio! Too kind! I changed my socks today. I feel that cotton will hold smell better than the wollies. I'm so hungry - I can't wait until breakfast!
Shine on you crazy diamonds
- Smelly Kelly
Day 2
5:45pm
Whats happenin everyone we just finished a challenge that I bombed at. No, really I bombed at it. Cleared a 10 foot perimiter around me! I did the worst in the contest, all we did was drop beach balls off the second level to a square on the floor below. Carey won it all and didn't want to sleep in the back on the bed, so she traded it for fruit for everyone. I'm not too upset cause Corey and Carey get to spoon in the back seat at 6:00 seat rotation. I get the whole front to myself! I was the loser but really came out the winner.
This is going to be a cake walk.
Thanks trav and Melissa for all the suport and DVD's
-TREEDADDY
11:39am
Good morning. I'm half awake cause I stayed up watching loud horror movie. I'm not sure wat todays challenge is going to be but they put stinky cheeses in here to combine with my smell hahaha! Thanks guys! I'm allowed to have my windw closed 2/3 of th way so I did and Corey said its open 4/5. Get a measuring tape bud. He has fashioned a smell retainer from his shirt he ripped and wrapped around his nose with some vic's.
I'm laughin in here. Joe called us this morning and told Corey that he has to get stnky or else! Told me I was doing good.
The cheese is on the dash so i turned the heat on and the fan on defrost. So far nobody has noticed. These people are obsessed with manners and cleanliness to bad for them its a competition to winner, so i'm gonna pinner!
- Kelly the coarse
Day 1
10:07pm
So I am sitting here watching Barbarella with Jane Fonda. What a mental movie. My feet smell terrible and Corey is trying to sleep with a sweater over his nose. My god if this helps win thne I'm gonna get the best foot detox in town and some tenactin. hahahahah! I'll buy new shoes for sure.
Day 1 i thin is almost over and I think I'll find theres more that 1 way to skin a cat. Tonight we had a guy show up and try to recruit us for a bubble hockey league cause we did is for a competition. He had the most stellar mutton chops. we dont get fed after about 7:00 and all we got were 3 miniburgers. i'm starving but my bloodsugar is sooo easy to regulate with these set meals. I'm not bored cause Travis brought me movies! ( oh and Tanis too!) Thank you guys!
6:30pm
Hey everyone. So it seems people arent so interested in this truck anymore. The general assumption was that the truck, though 10 years old now, had a new or rebuilt engine. Mechanicaly the truck is sound and she looks great. this is nicer then anything I own-or-have owned. Ok! We just lost Joe! He jumped on day 1 of the competition! 6:20pm Monday Nov. 2 he just said he's out, right out of the blue. All along I thought joe was gonna be a tough competitor, but no dice. He was puttin up a good fight an right on to him. Hes the only one who has a family of his own, so thats cool. Now, what I have left is a sqeamish guy Corey (who cant handle my stink) and Kerry (who I get along with like two positively charged ions) Im sure I can stink out Corey and at least get Kerry to break some rules and get canned! this is going to be easier than I thought. Tonight I have the whole back seat to myself, Kerry has the front, and Coreys in the box.
Later dudes.

3:43pm
Hey! Just want to thank Summit Trailer LTD - Edmonton's ARNE'S dealership service and repair for giving me time off work. Won't let you guys down!
I'm eating really well in here, 3 squares and drinks (though the pop is warm) but Hudsons make some damn good food.
I've noticed a lot of guys are bringing their cute sisters by to see us. I wouldn't walk around the mall holding my sisters hand.
Hahaha people in here are already irritated by me! My brother brought me dextrose tabs (in case of low blood sugar) and they said I should be kicked out for that. Has nothing to do with the contest! They are just scared. The oldman Corey cant handle the foot smell or my pits. I'm playing dirty... literally!
Body odor is a hot topic in here cause I'm staying with 3 people who cant handle being stinky or in dirty clothes. I don't care cause this isto my advantage! They packed a change for everyday and shampoo, cologne, deoderant - these people obviously can't go camping. Haven't taken my shoes off yet but the last thing I wore before I came here was wool socks in my workboots. ouch. Good backup plan. I'll wait til they pin the windows up.
Thanks family and friends.

11:40am
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Kelly Muir reporting currently from the passenger side back seat spot. Slept in the box on the comfy bed last night cause 2 of us 4 were too scared to eat the hot wings and beer! And another puked!
Not me, i'm the winner here and i'm gonna sleep in the box every night! So far i've been called stinky and the girl called me a dumbass! Verbal abuse?? Haha! Bring us DVD's!
I'm gonna annoy and stink these people out, but if it comes down to day 12 and we're all here-then all my efforts will be pointless. Oh well.
Love, Kelly
To add to Joe's blog, we also need TOPLESS FANS!!!
Day 8
2:10am
Good morning everyone, it's 2:10, just finished my break and i'm wide awake from 2 tallie cans of diet Pepsi. The garbage is deep in here and starting to stink. I have to hold out though. I like staying up late cause I know there are incredibly bored people at home wondering what i'm doing! Nothing too exciting here-but i'll stay up with you creepers hahaha! My god I can't wait until breakfast. Iforgot how awesome a cold shake is in the morning since my brother jacked my blender. Crappy part aboutall this is that I get to work on Saturday the 14th, so no Friday night bender. Well nothing too bad...
I'll be glad to be back at work though, I need something to do! Not bad for a guy diagnosed with ADD though. I've decided that since i'm past the three day hump with the whole no-smoking that i'm just going to quit. Surprizingly, this cntest has opened my eyes to a lot. I feel great not smoking, my diabetes has never been under better management. I appreciate showers so much, and i'm gonna need to check my cholesterol after for sure. I miss the sunlight.
