"Imagine waking up next to you every day... One chunder-bucket moment after another."

__________

Karen's note: What's a chunder bucket, you non-Brits ask? I had the same question, so I looked it up on UrbanDictionary.com:

"Chunder means to be sick, it originates from old seafareing days when sailers would get seasick and stick their head out of the porthole in their cabin. As they did this they would shout "Watch Under" to warn people in lower cabins of the forthcoming puke."

    I wonder if SleepAdam is talking to DreamKaren when he gives these types of comments. I like to think Adam's dreams are a parallel universe of his life: he is always arguing with his wife, DreamKaren (a rash, simpleminded woman [opposite of real Karen]). And they both throw carefully contemplated crass insults as a means of passing the time.

    "I come from a land down under
    Where beer does flow and men chunder.
    Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
    You better run, you better take cover."

    Ahh, chunder thunder. Reminds me of college.
    Enjoying this blog immensely! Bravo, Karen and Adam!

    My 14 year old daughter also talks in her sleep every single night, and she's always angry at someone (I assume moslty me). If she's not angry, she's appalled or insulting someone. Dreaming must surely be a way of releasing all the good comebacks you've had during the day.

    You know, at first I thought maybe it was a toddler/preschooler that was playing on the computer, but then he/she wouldn't know how to post the message.
    Isn't it wonderful (sarcastic) to see the maturity level of some people? And the retaliation? Oh your parents must be SO proud of the complete moron they've raised! Keep it up you chunderBucket! (HA! I ROCK! LMAO!)

    This one brought instant tears of laughter! I love this blog. My daughter talks in her sleep - she's usually telling someone a finer point in some argument, not sure who though, and never quite clear enough to hear - this is a treat for me!
    Thanks again, from Canada
