"Too many legs! Far too many legs. Can't play football. Trip myself up."

"Chicken soup. Get down with that funky stuff. Mmmmmm."

__________

Karen's note: I have to be honest, I was poking at Adam with my feet a bit when he started talking about legs. I've figured out that sometimes I can get him talking by wiggling around.

    Kristin,

    Good observation. And, believe it or not, he said "too many" about something ELSE as well last night, but I'm saving it for while we're away on honeymoon.

    You know, reading the post this morning, I suddenly "heard" Stewie (from Family Guy) saying them. The insults are especially fitting to Stewie's character. Adam sounds hilarious in the sound clips, but just imagine Stewie. It adds another level of hilarity! :)

    That is dead on! And Adam will love that point, as he is a Family Guy fan.

    Now, when he mentions "football", is he talking American football, or as we Yanks call it, Soccer? Maybe he was hinting at the Super Bowl?

    Video: it would be really boring. He really does just lay there.

    Football: I HAVE to assume it's football. Like, real football. He's a pretty serious football fan. Although, he has been known to say weirdly American things now and then, so who knows? I just can't presume to ever know for sure what STM is talkin about.

    I like what your husband says in his sleep...mine talks in a foreign language(he doesn't know any language other than English, not fluently anyway), mumbles incoherantly, or when he does make sense, it's usually accompanied by a creepy chuckle that sends chills down my spine. Gotta love STM!

    hey ... to cushion the blow, there just might be an alternative/football out there in dreamlands of Adam in dreamstate of a commercial with swirls of funky chicken soup cans with legs of all shapes and sizes ( that's whoever eats, slurps and laps up this comfort food ) pitching a new crazed dance since the ol'funky chinken - - - a newfangled new age hip hop version, or how about the comeback of my fav --- the 80's disco - - - or a rap so far fetched, as sleeping Adam could easily pull this off where others may not dare try . . .(hint,hinting from afar)

    - - - from a slight nudging of the KarenKind . . .boy. . . you two could really have a leg-up on the competition 4sure and not chickenshyofit ... it could be that best medicine; that slighter cure for the common cold of a pickmeup, or make that a laugh for the heart that could replace a half hour of a workout through the tummy ... a thought sequel...

    at least you won't trip yourself up with the can-clanging Adam. . . but i can't promise the dents effect when someone gets out of line at the Hall; in their jester of fun doing their crump'n breakdance ...till they're kicked to the curb...

    To Cut-N-Jump,

    My thoughts exactly! I kind of feel sorry for Adam in that he does not remember these dreams: He's the ultimate egomaniac in the center of his own Magical Universe who has no problem speaking his mind or telling someone to F@%K Off when need be! Each dream must be a one Hell of a ride!

  37. adam lennard5 February 2010 at 21:35

    Oh I wish, I really do wish my dreams were related to my sleep-talking. It is unfortunate that sleep-talking and dreaming are unrelated. Which is a shame because if they were related then I would certainly have the best dreams to document!!

    VonMalcolm- while it may be funny to watch, Adams thoughts would no longer be his own.

    And while I said some things are best left to the imagination- this would be in keeping with respecting his privacy. I can dig that.

    Adam- they sure would be! Keep on with it. Some of the phrases are just GOLDEN!

    Karen, I've got to tell you... I've been known to manipulate my husband's words as well. The legs/feet are easy, because you can just reach over and jack with them. For example, one night I woke up to him shaking me and saying "shhhhhh". I talk back to him so he'll continue... sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

    "Why are we shhhh-ing?"
    "WATCH where you step!!! They'll getcha'."
    (side note: we are from Texas. My husband is from a small town and sometimes, his thick-backwoods-country accent shows itself. This was certainly one of those times. So redneck-up your reading....)
    "What will Chris?"
    "Easy does it.... shhhh."
    (He is now begun to wriggle around, almost in a hopping from one foot to another position.)
    "Mmmhmm. What's going on babe, what is it?"
    "Watch out! It's them Texas Rattlers! Rattlers. Hear em'. Shhhhh."
    (Begins moving around more.)
    "Ooooh, they ARE scary. Aren't you afraid of snakes though, shouldn't you get away?"
    "Well hell yeah. They scare the shiiiiit out of me."
    (Begins poking his legs with my feet....)
    "Oh, oh! They're gettin' me. Shhhh. Oh god. Shit! Rattlers. Slither, slither, shake, shake, shake."

    ...more was said, but words couldn't be made out. It was one of my all time favorites. That, and the time he sat up straight in bed and said, "Strike a pose!" ...and laid back down. I should lay off the Madonna some, eh?

    Anyways, point is.... this blog makes my day! And I am soooo glad I am not alone. I only wish I could hear it as frequent and had more randomnly-hilarious statements!
