"I need a book. A big book. And the loo. Happiness."

"I'm sorry, but, you can take your can-do attitude and fuck it 'til it's raw. Can you do that? Can you?"

"Those brown sharks are worrisome. Bobbing in the river. They give me the willies."

"Need room. Spread my wings."
__________

Karen's notes:

loo = toilet

Also, that last one was said during a late-night battle for space and duvet (comforter).

  1. Oohhh. That last one. I'm amused. Highly amused. I'm surprised my fiance hasn't said something like that.... he's a notorious blanket hog.

  5. Is there a chance that the brown sharks bobbing in the river are the result of going into the loo with a big book?

  8. I can't even think up clever comebacks when I'm awake, let alone asleep! Adam's a legend and these sleeptalking stories make my day!

  11. @ Cpt Fandango, that would be hysterical!

  12. Karen, did you wake adam up and let him know he needed to go to the bathroom so he didn't wet the bed?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Jo: It doesn't sound like WETTING the bed was the problem. -Karen

  14. I have to tell you Prof. Z, I love your writing. It's like you take STM musings, toss them in a kaleidoscope, add a stong hallucinogenic, and shake vigorously.

    Look through the lens, it's Prof. Z!

    What is it with men, the bathroom and reading material?? Growing up my brothers where in there so long we started to call it the library.

    Thanks for the daily giggles!

  16. Have you ever considered that your husband is intentionally making these comments at night in order for you to have an interesting blog? I think he is playing with you.

    ReplyDelete
  17. anonymous, to answer your question:

    1. i would have had the presight to know karen was going to make a blog as the sleeptalking started 8 months before the blog was ever considered.

    2. i would have to find the time to prescript everything i was saying - pretty hard when you have a fast paced, full time job.

    3. creatively, i would also have to be pretty damn amazing.

    i also think i would consider myself a pretty low person to lie to karen about all this, every night. to lie to the world effectively. that is something i would never do to karen. if you don't believe anything else, believe that at least.

    thank you

  18. Oh, I wish I had the balls (or stupidity) (or wealth) to say the second one at work tomorrow!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yup - wondering about those brown sharks! And yeah, Daphne at 07:26 - even twenty favorites would be hard to choose - ten, impossible.

    This made me laugh Christina: "cut me up on the dual carriageway" - more Britglish!

    Great description of Prof Z's rambles, T! Fun fun and trippy. Though the visuals for today's got a bit... icky... :) :)

    Adam, I don't think most detractors even get it that you and Karen are "real people." I don't know that they even get it that they are calling a real person (a man who is gentle and kind, if they have given even a small bit of time and attention to your comments and the tv spots) a total liar. It just makes me shake my head.

    Thanks as always for adding so much fun and laughter to our lives!

  20. "Need room. Spread my wings." Wouldn't that be great on a nightshirt? ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  21. I absolutely agree with the nightshirt idea.

    this may be a little late but...try hilighting and 'copy' & 'paste'. It worked for me!

  23. @Adam: "3. creatively, i would also have to be pretty damn amazing."

    Well, if you ask Sleep Talkin' Man, he would obviously say that's true. Maybe that's where your alter ego's huge ego comes from.

  24. @ S.M Carriere can you imagine, ha ha ha

  25. Ooooh..I SO wish I had the attitude one on a shirt that I could wear at work tomorrow! Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Good God! That's my exclamation as I read the second one. The first one Is happiness. Hilarious. Keep it coming Adam, you light up a lot of people's day when your asleep!

    ReplyDelete
  27. The "can do" one is one of my all-time favourites.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I agree with jackie31337 & nicely put yet again 2manywhiskers!
    Keep 'em coming Adam and Karen - bringing laughter to the world is a noble pursuit!

  29. Just discovered the site tonight. Been scrolling through and have gotten this far. It occurs to me that he seems to live in the world of the movie "Office Space" in his sleep. Many of those disdainful work quotes could easily slip right into the script.
