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.)
"From now on, papaya shall be known as cunt-fruit. Yes. Nasty cunt-fruit. Mushy and smelly cunt-fruit. You don't like the word, don't make me say it again."
"You never take my balloons out for a walk. They need some fresh fucking air, take 'em outside this time. And on a long walk. They like the sun. Don't take them to the park. I don't want them on the swings, they're too little for swings. And the round-a-bout will make them sick, just take them on a nice walk. See the duckies. Bye balloons!"
I don't know about the velociraptor, but I can definitely explain this one. We've had this balloon sitting around the house from Adam's birthday celebration. It's mortifyingly ugly, but I've kept it simply because I'm astounded by how long it has managed to stay afloat. It's been six weeks, people! It's like the balloon and I are in a competition to see who can last longer.
Before it dies of knife wounds tonight, I'm going to give it a moment of fame. So here it is:
And here's the close-up. See if you can spot my attempt at personalization:
All he needs are some pom-poms and a short skirt! You guys should be really relieved I didn't photoshop that one.

Merch update: There were some problems with the artwork last night, but I really will get "I bet you wish you could wear a onesie" onesies into the shops today.
When I played this one for Adam, he said, "Oh no, people are going to think I'm just trying to plug merchandise." To which I responded, "Hey, what a great idea!" So, here you go, people. Don't you want your baby to look as good as STM? Get your onesies here!
Actually, that quote's not in the shop yet, I'll have it in by tonight.
Well, STM may not be a very sensitive teacher, but he certainly gets results. I'm sure that you all remember the Pythagorean Theorem. How to calculate the sides of a right triangle? a2 + b2 = c2? Come on, this is geometry 101, people!
And here's a conversation from the early morning. Note that a "lie in" is a day that you don't have to get up and out of bed early, and, yes, that's how "zebra" is pronounced here (I'm rather mortified that this sort of thing is happening. But at least I'm not developing the Madonna accent).
For those who spent the late 70's - early 80's in a cave (or as a mere twinkle in their parents' eyes), Pong was, like, the first video game most of us ever saw! Ah, the memories....
KAREN:
You said something like, "I don't wanna be a moose. You can't play pong."
ADAM:
Maybe with their antlers they could.
KAREN:
Yeah. They could even play pong against themselves, between their two antlers.
ADAM:
Oh!
KAREN:
Solitaire pong.
ADAM:
No, it's a bit boring, 'cause they can't watch it, though.
KAREN:
(getting sleepy) Mmm.
ADAM:
It'd make them go dizzy, and give them eye strain.
KAREN:
Mmmm.
ADAM:
It could be like a mating ritual between two moose. I take it it is "moose" not "mice".
KAREN:
(more sleepy) Mm-hmm
ADAM:
Or meese.
KAREN:
Mm.
ADAM:
Like geese and goose.
KAREN:
(totally sleepy) Mmmm.
ADAM:
Moose and meese.
KAREN:
Mmmmm.
ADAM:
I wonder why. Why does that one break the rules?
KAREN:
Mmm-hmmm.
ADAM:
You're not even listening.
KAREN:
Mmmmmm.
ADAM:
It's ok, I'm used to it. Sleep Talkin' Man is used to it, as well.
That fascinating declaration was from the nest-egg, as there was no sleep talking per se last night. I did, however, find the following bizarre conversation, of which neither Adam nor I have any recollection.
