Some content on this page is not suitable for young eyes or faint hearts. Views expressed by Sleep Talkin' Man rarely reflect the opinions of waking Adam. Especially the desire to exterminate all vegetarians (but he does hate lentils.)
Sounds like STM has entered the political fray! "Right Honorable" is the title by which Members of Parliment (MPs, equivalent of Senators or Representatives) address each other.
"I need someone else to help me catch ghosts. 'Cause we're going out to kick seven shades of spiritual shit. Yeaaaah. Ghost Kickers! Free floating vapor? Free floating fucker, more like. Come on, let's get 'em!"
And here, again, I must shamefacedly admit that Adam and I have been known to watch Ghost Hunters. Actually, we're a bit off it now, but there was a time when we were watching it most nights of the week. Don't judge.
Yup, another one of those jibes at God. And here, for your listening pleasure, is the morning, in which Adam wakes up, makes a beeline for the bathroom, and runs at full speed into the closed door.
(wakes up suddenly) Oh! I need to go wee. (jumps out of bed, makes a beeline for the bathroom, and runs full-force into the door)
KAREN:
(laughs hysterically)
ADAM:
It was open when I went to bed, I'm sure it was!
KAREN:
Oh! I can't believe that!
ADAM:
Don't— I really hurt my nose.
KAREN:
Oh!
ADAM:
Bad enough waking up thinking you're going to wet yourself because need to go wee and then... the door's shut!
KAREN:
But Baby, we shut it every night because you don't feel good about it being open.
ADAM:
You're right.
KAREN:
Well, I bet now you don't like it shut. I can't believe you did that.
ADAM:
My nose!
KAREN:
Baby, we've lived here for over two years.
ADAM:
When I went to bed, right, last time I looked at that, and I remember looking, it was open.
KAREN:
But the thing is, okay:
ADAM:
What?
KAREN:
A—
ADAM:
Oh, god, you're going to be logical. Oh no.
KAREN:
Why wouldn't you make the assumption that it could be open or shut and just sort of feel for it instead of just walking full speed.
ADAM:
Please don't use logic. I always fall down when you use logic. It's not fair... Because I woke up quickly, and I hate that. And I needed to go to the toilet, and that's not a nice way to wake up, so I hate that twice over, so speed is of the essence, and my eyes weren't properly open 'cause I'd just woken up 'cause I hate that, and I had it in my head that the door was open, so it was gonna be easy! I was gonna be quick, it was gonna be direct route to the toilet, but there was a nasty obstacle in the way.
Merch news: I've filled the merch shops with new quotes on shirts, mugs, mousepads, aprons, kids' wear, laptop sleeves, and messenger bags. Quotes include "poltergoat", "Friday brain", "look for someone to blame" and "Jedi mutha-fucka!"
Want one of the quotes on a particular product not in the shop? Drop me an email with your request!
"Oh! It's a poltergoat. A poltergoat! You can't see 'em, but you find all your clothes chewed. If you listen carefully, you may hear a ghostly baaaahhhhh. Poltergoat! Baaaahhhhhhh."
"There are times when drinking the contents of the stomach of a ten-day-old corpse is a good idea. After hanging out with you, this is one of those times. Cock off!"
There actually is a "lemon law" in the States, having to do with the sale of used cars that fall apart once you drive away. Although, that said, Adam swears he had never heard of it before.
We're back! We didn't get a whole lot out of STM. Sleep talking, you see, requires sleep, of which Adam got little, poor thing. Here is what I have for you:
"The problem with your face… is that I can see it. Get lost!"
This one will illuminate how STM interprets heavy rain falling on canvas overhead:
"You can go outside and you tell those little fucking elves to stop throwing acorns! Seriously. A waste of all those acorns. Kick 'em. Kick 'em with the chickens."
"Fuck. Tits! Shit, I brought the wrong shit! It's shower-hat Wednesday, not cracker-pants Thursday. Bollocks! I really like shower-hat Wednesday. I've got the best. It's so pretty... These cracker-pants give me nasty chaffing… Oh, I shoulda put margarine on them! Lubricate the cracker bits. Yes, yes, yes…"
"There's a reason you're such an arsehole. You just don't have to keep telling everybody about it. People will work it out for themselves pretty quickly."
Karen’s notes: We're heading off to go glamping on a goat farm for the next few days, so I'll be pre-scheduling posts. Hopefully, I'll come back with some goat-inspired gems on the recorder.
Adam was making the little groaning sounds that always precede a bout of sleep talking. I tried answering him with my own little groan, with the following results.
"Shut up! I know it's my turn. Now back off. Shhhh."
Sounds like STM was feeling a bit pressured to perform. But, in the end, he did not disappoint:
"I can't wear these pants anymore. They're just too tight. They're giving me cock cramp... FREEDOOOOOOOOOOM! Yeah, wiggle it. Mmm, feel that swaying? That swaying is freedom!"
I saw the thing in your hand, I thought you may have dropped it on my head.
KAREN:
Wait a minute. I just need to make sure I understand. You didn't even— You thought it was m— You—
ADAM:
Hello?
KAREN:
I just wanna— Can I establish a fact? You actually thought the big blunt thing that smacked you in the face was—
ADAM:
Be nicer about my hand.
KAREN:
— a different object than your hand? You didn't realize it was you who slapped you?
ADAM:
Well, I opened my eyes with my cheek stinging, and I saw you holding the microphone, and I thought maybe that had dropped onto my face.
KAREN:
Do you realize something wrong with what you just said? I'm just gonna repeat it back to you verbatim: "I saw you were holding the microphone—"
ADAM:
Yes, but you may have picked it back up—
KAREN:
Oh, okay. But I will tell you what happened, Baby. Right before you woke up, you were saying—
ADAM:
It stings!
KAREN:
Listen: I'm gonna tell you what you were saying. I think it will illuminate. You were saying, "Mother fucker, take some of that! Fucking butterflies." (giggling) They were butterflies!
ADAM:
Bastards.

Karen's notes: So sorry about the faulty transcription yesterday, guys. I promise I was not trying to censor STM (a bit late for that, isn't it?). It was just a bizarre error for which I have no explanation. All fixed now.
