May 11 2010

All of the following occurred around 3 in the morning. I was already awake when it got going, as I'm in one of my insomniac phases. It began like this:
"Going to husband school. Yeah. Always having to do better. The teacher's a bitch and there's no chance of graduating."
 or click here
"You and me, we're an item. And like an item, you can be exchanged in the future."
 or click here
At this point, I carefully slip out of the bed to go to the bathroom. As I tiptoe quietly across the room, I hear:
"Where do you think YOU'RE going, eh? Got somewhere better to go to? Better be fucking amazing! Cause I'm fucking brilliant."
 or click here (the last word was too quiet for the recorder)
So, I come back from the bathroom, and as I'm sliding back into bed, he chimes in with:
"Whoop! Elephants landing!"
 or click here
And then, Just as I've settled back in, he whispers in my ear:
"Shhh. I can smell you. I hear through my nose."
(That was just too quiet for the recorder to get.) This is about the point where I'm hyperventilating, trying to keep my giggles under control.

Shortly after this, I feel Adam wrestling with the headboard. Yes, we had another episode of him getting his hand caught between the slats. It was a silent struggle, no biting ponies this time, but he woke himself up nevertheless. Here's a bit of the "reveal":
 or click here
(Adam wants you to know that this is his woken-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night voice. He doesn't always sound drunk and whiney.)

A delightful time was had by all.

  8. I just can't imagine going through my day without checking in with you guys first! As always, thanks for sharing your lives with us.

  9. as you can see, the i love you's were just a lead up to "can you get me a drink of water"

    make it cold =.=

  10. Yes, delightful is quite the word, or is it? He was so ridiculous; but given that this guy is different than the real Adam, I had a delightful time reading this post.

    ReplyDelete
  11. By the way, Karen, how does it feel to live with two men at the same time? I am talking about the Adam, and STM.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I love this blog, it's part of my morning routine, get coffee, read emails, check STM.

    p.s Missus STM's voice is hot! :D

    ReplyDelete
  13. anonymous 10:18 my morning routine is sleep, talk, wake up, have wife laugh at me, go to work, have work colleagues laugh at me (because of the blog i might add).

    karen does have an incredible phone voice. one of her many stand out features.

  14. Adam's just-woken-up self has a grand sense of comic timing too, it seems!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I adore the "behind the scenes" comments and audio clips. :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Please, I'm begging you, do NOT put that first one on a T-shirt!!!

    You guys are a riot. Thanks for the morning laugh.

    ReplyDelete
  17. To me, the funniest part of the reveal recording was after he'd said "I love you" repeatedly, asked for a drink of water, said "I love you" again all sweet and then, plainly very serious, "make it cold." Serious as in sarcastic-serious, not really-I'm-an-asshole serious.

    ReplyDelete
  18. This was absolutely hilarious!!!
    Love the explanations and reveal!!

    You guys are the best!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I've never posted a comment before, but I read this blog everyday and it always cracks me up.

    The reason I am posting is because the "behind the scenes" bit from today was hilarious and easily on par with some of the better quotes from STM.

    So, just wanted to say thanks for posting that too.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh my gosh, I think I just giggled hard enough to wake my neighbors. I love all of the background "storyline" info, and the last clip of awake talking was simply priceless. You guys made my morning (: "Make it cold." HA!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I love the "I really love you make it cold!" Too funny.

    ReplyDelete
  22. These are GREAT!

    I was wondering what happened to the "Elephant trunks should be used for elephant things only" shirt. I was hoping to buy one, is that one still around?

    Thanks guys!

    ReplyDelete
  23. "I love you incredibly! ... get me a drink of water please. Love you. Make it cold."

    LOL sounds like my own boyfriend.

    Anyways, that whole series of events was just amazing. I love the running commentary about what you were doing, to put things in context. And the "husband school" comment is SO funny!! Possibly one of my favorites ever.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I just found this blog and think that its brilliant!! Keep posting!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh my God! He is a genius!!!

    I do think you guys are very sweet together, and it makes me happy that you, Karen, don't let his talking get under your skin. I'd probably run out of numbers if I had to count the women I know who would be offended by the comment "Elephants landing!" under the circumstances you described.

    ReplyDelete
  26. All of which reminds me - everyone talks about Adam's mad skills (and rightly so), and not enough take the time to say thank you to Karen for posting the stuff daily and...well, just being cool with Adam's often "mean" rantings.

    I think that's just peachy. So thank you Karen.

    ReplyDelete
  27. i just wanted to say thank you to both of you for creating this blog. it lifts my spirits when i am having some bad days, of which there have been many lately.
    last night's antics were the best!

    hugs and love!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ditto to all that's been said. Plus, "we're an item" has got to go on a Valentine's card.
    Thank you both for brightening my mornings. MMH-KY

    ReplyDelete
  29. LOVE the reveal and commentary!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. the first 2 sound like my husband when he's awake. he's "serving life without possibility of parole but at least he gets to sleep with the warden." and he's "going to trade me in on a newer model."
    Loving it!

    ReplyDelete
  31. "Shhh. I can smell you. I hear through my nose."

    Reminds me of Grandma, "Turn on the lights, I can't hear you." No sleep talking, wide awake and totally serious =D

    Hearing Karen snicker in the background, and the two of you laughing together makes my heart smile.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I think "husband school" should be a t-shirt! :) LOL

    ReplyDelete
  33. OH MAN! The reveal was so funny, and how he quickly goes from saying "I love you" to "Get me a drink of water, make it cold" I can't stop laughing! :'D

    ReplyDelete
  34. Forgot to say, the reveal should be on a shirt! Thanks a lot Karen and Adam!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Thanks to both of you! You have put some humor back into marraige. Wish more couples would laugh as you too do.
    I played the Waking up Adam for my husband. He and I shared a great laugh.. " I do love you" get a glass of water, cold.." Wifely duties never end. LOL
    Thanks STM...

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love you guys and the "reveal" was so great! Hope to hear more of those in the future :) I especially liked his tone of voice when he's asking where you're going when you get out of bed! I'm still laughing.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Brianna - I did take down some of the older quotes because the shop was getting so unwieldy. But, I can easily put a product in for you specially. Just email and tell me 1. which version (plain text or speech bubble) 2. which kind of shirt (t-shirt, tank top, spaghetti tank, etc.) and 3. what country you are in. That's it!

    ...do swear STM could sound so ghosty knowsty, he can smell and tell in all the wrong places, a nose for inhaling sound, an ear for voicing his mind at the speed of sound, quite the detective he is, sensitive to a pin drop!

    ... it'z all in the itemizing details...checklist: there's psychology, mythology and astrology -for thought,
    in his reversing ways too... to nip an inflection of source, before it's nonsensical time,

    ... he is one brilliant species in the human chain...and forever wrapped in a hypertelltale sign of venting~craftyness in the love story of sleep/wake/insomnoMANania, a whirlwind romance of the times and what a great newshow magazine read.

    Thanks for sharing and caring the time to bare yourselves to any and every one of us for your addicted giggles and suspenseful anticipation,
    - times squared!!

    { and don't mind these gobbledygookin' in jargonese, it's just...well, it's just here nor there...
    - - - - - - - - laughadaisy! ;}

  39. Karen - thanks so much to you and Adam for sharing this with the world. Even though my late husband did not talk in his sleep I do miss his snoring and reading Adam's nightly comments somehow makes a connection for me.

    ReplyDelete
  40. "I really love you! Make it cold."

    He is so romantic ; )

    ReplyDelete
  41. You're a good woman, Karen! I'm not sure if I could have not been a bit annoyed with my husband for that "Whoops! Elephants Landing" comment as I got into bed.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Awesome to hear your voice, Karen. Thank you for your hard work to bring this entertaining and hilarious blog together!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Adam sounds like my father. I swear he had children so he'd have fetch-its for glasses of cold water...

    ReplyDelete
  44. Awww, you two are so sweet! He's adorable, making sure you feel loved. Reminds me of me & my man... Thanks for posting, you guys make me smile every day!!!! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Okay, you cleaning out the older quotes from the shop makes sense. I just spent a chunk of my tax return buying tee shirts for my family, and was looking for the elephant things shirt too. Not to worry, I still got a bunch that will make the family happy! Can't wait to get home to hear the audio on these :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'm just gonna say 2 words: F**kin' brilliant!

    ReplyDelete
  47. "Get me a drink of water, make it cold"

    Could STM be trying to take over "Awake Adam"?

    ReplyDelete
  48. ROTFL, the 'reveal' was hysterical...
    Adam (slightly shocked and appearing concerned) "But I love you!"

    ReplyDelete
  49. Oh so funny!! Best parts for me:

    "Shhh. I can smell you. I hear through my nose."

    All the giggling...

    "Make it cold" and

    "Adam wants you to know.... He doesn't always sound drunk and whiney." That last one got a snort!

    ReplyDelete
  50. LOLOLOL Ohhh, Adam.

    ReplyDelete
  51. This is so funny! Shortly after I got married, I discovered that my hubby talks in his sleep. The second time this occurred, he rolled over and said,"You're fat". Which sent me giggling, b/c if you knew me, you'd realize that he definitely wasn't talking to me. Any other woman would have probably thrown a fit; I've always had a hard time gaining weight. I responded with "I'm fat?" to which he said," Yeah, Fat Lard". To this day, I wonder who he was really talking to!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Ahhhh that's so sweet. I think he's earned a PhD. in husbandry; even if it's honorary.

    ReplyDelete
  53. You should add more audio of him finding out what he said. I think its one of the best parts. You can tell in his voice how shocked he is that he said somethings lol. All my Family and friends love waiting to hear what he say next.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Perhaps you should invest in a new headboard. Sounds like he's going to hurt himself one of these days.

    ReplyDelete
  55. LMAO - the husband school one is something my husband would say AWAKE!!! Oh please please please make that one into a shirt!!!!

    I cannot tell you how much laughter you are creating with these - I have sent this blog to all my friends and we do Jager shots and laugh until the tears are running out of our eyes - and then we sneak away and write the best ones down to fantasize about using them on people we aren't very fond of...

    ReplyDelete
  56. Best one in a long time, Adam! I read this to my sister-in-law (who had a wakeful night last night) and said she should respond that at least Karen had something to do during her insomnia. My brother is not so entertaining!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I would say this is my favorite post yet, but really, I love them all so much. My boyfriend thanks me on a regular basis for turning him on to your blog, Karen. The first time he read them he called me right away, to tell me he'd laughed so hard he was in pain.
    It was delightful, as many have said, to hear you laughing together. All this time of his crazy nocturnal chattering and you can still giggle together about it. I love it. Almost as much as Adam loves you.

    ReplyDelete
  58. hahaha aww, he sounds so apologetic and cute during the reveal.

    ReplyDelete
  59. @T: Reminds me of Grandma, "Turn on the lights, I can't hear you." No sleep talking, wide awake and totally serious =D

    I never realized how much I lip read until I tried to watch an online video where the picture was slightly out of sync with the sound. I found it totally unwatchable because people's lips were not moving exactly in time with their talking. I have above average hearing, but for some reason I often need to be able to read the speaker's lips to make sense of speech: I can hear them just fine, but it comes across as meaningless noise.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I sent the Husband School quote to my husband and one of his coworkers added the comment "and you're in detention 90% of the time"...LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I hope husband school will teach him how to get his own glass of water soon! Cold!

    ReplyDelete
  62. ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS! You should play the reveals ALL the time!

    ReplyDelete
  63. My first time commenting as well. This one might be my fav too. The behind the scenes was brilliant! You should post the reveal more often. Too adorable.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Well after these ones, he can't be mad at you for humming at him anymore, LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  65. This is by far my favorite post on here to date.

    ReplyDelete
  66. HAHAHAHA! He truly does sound drunk when he wakes up... sounds very much like my Aussie husband does when he *IS* drunk. And my husband usually says "I love you" repeatedly when drunk. I'm dying. This is priceless.

    ReplyDelete
  67. @jackie31337 - yes! I agree, I find my older self in the same situation, needing to see a person's face to "hear" what they are saying.

    It just brought back a cute, happy memory of Grandma.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Your blog keeps me so amused! I think it's fab that you have a relationshop where you know his sleepy ramblings are not personal...my husband loves the "Husband school" quote. He also constantly sends STM's anti-vegetarian quotes to me, seeing as I am one!

    Keep it up you guys!

    ReplyDelete
  69. A good laugh is the antidote for just about anything so bless you guys for being a great go-to place for those moments!(Hugs Smikette)Lovin' this one! xox

    Hi,
    Me and my boyfriend check this site nearly every day and I had to share with you our giggles at todays audio...

    My boyfriend is ALWAYS complaining that when i get him water it isn't cold enough! So the last audio really made us chuckle!

    ReplyDelete
  72. o god!!))thank you for my laugh and nice mood too!))

    ReplyDelete
  73. I must have listened to "elephants landing" at least 5 times. I love it! especially "WHOOP!"

    ReplyDelete
  74. I've been a fan of the site for a while now, though I never commented. Had to do it on this post because it was brilliant! I still cannot believe that this is real. But, I mean, even if it wasn't, you'd have to be a damn good comedian to come up with these lines! LOVE it. The "elephants landing" is making me laugh just thinking about it. Please continue posting!

  75. I think this is my favorite night of rambling to date. I'm glad Adam loves you Karen!

  76. I agree with Anon @ 03:54. Out of the few months visiting the blog, this one is the best!
