"Christ, I'd rather be afflicted with permanently infected hairy arse grapes than be subjected to another minute of your drivel."

By this time, I'd already been awake for a while with insomnia, so I got up to go to the bathroom. As I shifted out of bed, Adam chimed in with:
"It's moving. You can hear it. Ooooh. It's big 'un! It's a big 'un. We're gonna have to use two mallets on this one. Take out its knees! No, won't be doing that again in a hurry."
 or click here

By the end of that, I'd made it to our en suite bathroom and settled down to pee. From the bed, I heard:
"She's opened up the floodgates again! Christ almighty."

After I'd crawled back into bed, my husband began channeling his dinner:
"baGawk! Bok... baGawk!"

And then he woke himself up in the usual manner:

STM: MINGE MUNCHER!
ADAM: Ooh… I daresay, that could have been embarrassing. Was it?
KAREN: (laughing) Do you know what you yelled?
ADAM: Umm, I’ve got a horrible suspicion it was nothing I could repeat to my mother? (Karen laughs) Oh, fuck. (more laughing) What was it?
KAREN: Um… Minge muncher?
ADAM: Hmm… My head hurts. Did I bang it?
KAREN: No. No.
ADAM: Mmm. Makes a change.
KAREN: You also clucked like a chicken. Twice.
ADAM: Excuse me? I did what?
KAREN: BaGawk!
ADAM: You-- You misheard.
KAREN: BaGawk!
ADAM: You must have misheard.
KAREN: Nope. What could I possibly mistake that for?
ADAM: Having a stroke? Maybe I was having a stroke, I don’t know!
KAREN: Oh Baby, you were having a stroke and I didn’t do anything!
ADAM: I was clucking like a chicken, for fuck’s sake! I think that’s the warning sign you should wake me up. I’m sorry, when your husband starts clucking like a chicken in bed, call 9-9-9! It’s not healthy.

  1. I wasn't going to listen to the audio on this entry (about to go to bed), but I HAD to hear what "baGawk! Bok... baGawk!" sounded like. ;))

    And, of course, the reveal. :D "When your husband starts clucking like a chicken in bed, call 999." Priceless. (And yes, I am one Yank who knows that UK 999 = US 911.)

  3. My favorite line of the ordeal is "I have a horrible suspicion it was nothing I could repeat to my mother."

    Apparently, waking Adam can be comical too, when he's wary of his sleeping self.

    LOL. <3

    Which is an awesome word to scream while waking up.
    BaGawk!

  8. "You also clucked like a chicken."
    "Excuse me? I did what?... You misheard." Wonderful.

    And yes, that was definitely "minge muncher".

  10. I don't know whether to laugh along with you, be embarrassed or feel concerned by the clucking!

    I have to say that your conversation at the end was the greatest auditory communication my ears have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. So much so that it drove me to post this comment, which is something I don't do much of. I just want to say thank you guys so much for your continued effort to share Adams midnight musings with the world, it brings me and many others much enjoyment. Your blog is only one of a few websites that I visit on a daily basis and as long as you guys keep posting, I'll keep reading.

    sincerely,
    Josh

  22. thank you everyone for your amazing support.

    marsha, i am so sorry to hear your news. i know how you feel. i was also unemployed for 9 months. it was hard, but i stuck with it and am now extremely happily employed again and loving it. i wish your husband all the best in his job hunt.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Karen, your line "Oh Baby, you were having a stroke and I didn’t do anything!" was perfect comedic timing.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Marsha, keep your head up with these heads up, we're pulling for you and those that may be in a twisted situation in these strange days, a bitta belly laugh keeps us healthy and strong and fingers crossed wishes your-all ways :]

  25. "When your husband starts clucking like a chicken in bed, call 9-9-9! It’s not healthy."

    Change to 9-1-1 for US consumption, and it's perfect for merchandising.

    And thank you, Adam, for allowing us to peek into the playground that is your subconscious.

  26. "baGawk! Bok... baGawk!"

    Ring tone!!!

  27. Again... you made my dreary day turn right side up :D love you guys!!! adam your hilarious.

    I also talk in my sleep, but noone can make sense of what im saying, seems like im talking in a different languauge :( and noone to recorder me...

  28. ....<3 . <3 . <3 ....

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh my. I think ba-GAWK as a ring tone would be ... oh dear. But think how hard you'd be laughing when you answered your phone? Possibly NOT a good idea.

    ReplyDelete
  30. LOL OH ADAM
    YOU'RE AS FUNNY AS YOU ARE WHEN YOU'RE STM
    Call 999. The clucking is unbearable, just had to laugh...Haha

    ReplyDelete
  31. okay, that was the best reveal ever.
    "minge" sent me to urbandictionary.com. i suspected but... some things, i think i'm better off NOT knowing.
    just listened to the clucking a few more times... any possibility STM was imitating a trumpet rather than a chicken? might be a little less disturbing for Adam if STM was being musical rather than bestial.

    ReplyDelete
  32. @ Marisa et al - I know the audio didn't come out great, but believe me, in person, it was DEFINITELY a chicken.

    -Karen

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thank you for the morning conversations and play-by-plays! They are as funny or funnier than the actual sleep-talking!
    You must have misunderstood...BaGaaawwwwkkk!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. There's another one that would be awesome on a t-shirt; "When your husband starts clucking like a chicken in bed, call 9-9-9! It’s not healthy."

    Might have to offer two different versions, because a lot of these kids in the US won't understand what the 999 reference means. (believe me, I work with a lot of young'ns)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Oh I love you two! Today's post has to be one of the funniest yet. Bok Bok BaGawkkkkkkkkk...

    ReplyDelete
  36. I second or third or whatever the request for the 999 comment on a t-shirt, and I'd rather have the 999 version even though I live in the states. That was much the awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I want "MINGE MUNCHER!" as a ringtone! xD

    Adam, you and Karen are the funniest "accidental" comedy duo since Stiller and Meara, or...hmmm, more recent stuff...McCormack and Messing! (French and Saunders?)

    I LOVE STM! :D

    ReplyDelete
  38. ! PREMIUM STM + ADAM + KAREN, today !

    ReplyDelete
  39. Adam, never mind your sleeptalking, I think you are so lucky to have a wife who laughs like that, it's so charming!

    But it all occurs to me that you are also lucky to live in this day and this culture. Until the last couple of hundred years and even in much of the world nowadays, you might be thought of as being possessed by demons.

    Hey, maybe you are! But if I was a sleep scientist I'd be very keen to scan your mind while you were asleep, find out how your subconscious is leaking out through speech in that way.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Yes, the 999 quote has GOT to be on a shirt, only make one with 911 for us US folks. :D

    ReplyDelete
  41. hi guys, THANK you for clucking, it helped me feel better after watching V. Williams got kicked out of Wimbledon in straight sets (-sniff-)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I can't stop thinking about Jack and Hyde when I get to notice the diference between Adam and STM

    ReplyDelete
  43. Thanks for another hearty laugh.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I have to say, I personally think that the "I daresay, that could have been embarassing" should make it onto a t-shirt!

    But was it a fluke that Adam was that coherent moments after waking up? Seems to have skipped the "caveman" like daze that conusmes the rest of us.

    ReplyDelete
  45. When you said "No... No!", you sounded like Judy Garland. :D (But it's probably just because I've been watching a few of her movies lately and I have Judy on the brain...)

  47. very funny, and getting funnier, love the talking with you too as much as STM stuff. you guys are so funny, no matter how bad my day is I come here and can laugh, thank you so much!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oh wow, the reveal is just excellent. Waking Adam really is funny, too :)

    ReplyDelete
  49. I read sleep talking man pretty much ever day, and it always gets me in stiches. The conversation

    STM: MINGE MUNCHER!
    ADAM: Ooh… I daresay, that could have been embarrassing. Was it?
    KAREN: (laughing) Do you know what you yelled?
    ADAM: Umm, I’ve got a horrible suspicion it was nothing I could repeat to my mother? (Karen laughs) Oh, fuck. (more laughing) What was it?
    KAREN: Um… Minge muncher?
    ADAM: Hmm… My head hurts. Did I bang it?
    KAREN: No. No.
    ADAM: Mmm. Makes a change.
    KAREN: You also clucked like a chicken. Twice.
    ADAM: Excuse me? I did what?
    KAREN: BaGawk!
    ADAM: You-- You misheard.
    KAREN: BaGawk!
    ADAM: You must have misheard.
    KAREN: Nope. What could I possibly mistake that for?
    ADAM: Having a stroke? Maybe I was having a stroke, I don’t know!
    KAREN: Oh Baby, you were having a stroke and I didn’t do anything!
    ADAM: I was clucking like a chicken, for fuck’s sake! I think that’s the warning sign you should wake me up. I’m sorry, when your husband starts clucking like a chicken in bed, call 9-9-9! It’s not healthy.


    got me in stiches i was crying with laughter. After having a shitty day this really made my day so much better. This is one of the best sites that i look at regularly.

    ps. i sleep giggle alot which makes my other half laugh. I either fall asleep giggling to myself or wake myself up from giggling.

  50. "It's moving. You can hear it. Ooooh. It's big 'un! It's a big 'un.
    Do you happen to have wooden flooring? The creaks (no offence intended) may be setting STM off.
    If you do, a friend suggested to me that when you fit a wooden floor, rubbing candles along the edges before fitting them together will practically eliminate the squeaks.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Holy crow how funny!!!! The clucking and conversation up to "It's not healthy" are unbelievably hilarious.

    I also got a huge kick out of his tone in "Take out its knees!" and then "Nooo, won't be doing that again in a hurry." I'm glad I'm not who or whatever was taking those mallet swings!

    And I loved "After I'd crawled back into bed, my husband began channeling his dinner." There are a bunch of merchandise worthy bits in today's lot, but I think that would be my pick. Not technically STM, but can you imagine the looks that t-shirt would get!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Minge munchers, chickens and floodgates! Oh my!
    btw did a search for minge muncher.... yes, you shouldn't repeat that to your mom if she is up on urban lingo.
    hope you recover from you stroke Adam! lol almost got kicked out of the library for laughing on the reveal. would have been worth it too.

  53. Ah... this was a good night. I think I enjoy most your interactions after some of his craziness. You're so sweet to each other, but it's all so strange... =)

  54. My six year-old was talking in her sleep again the other night and said, "It's barking at me. Woof Woof." To which our Jack Russell even sat up and looked at her then at me then back at her, as if to say, "What's with that? I'm the one who barks while sleeping."

  55. Seconding Samps' nomination for "I daresay, that could have been embarassing" on a t-shirt.
    @Karen... Ah well... had hoped it might give him an out. ;) He sounded so... comically horrified.

  56. Adam and Karen I had such a horrible day at work and came home eager to see Adam's chatting and was delighted! I laughed for a good ten minutes. My favorite was "Excuse me? I did what?" Loved it. You guys make my day all the time!

  57. This was the funniest 'after Adam wakes up' conversation I have read on this site. Ever. Oh...it hurts from the laughing.

  58. I want a shirt that says: when your husband starts clucking like a chicken in bed, call 9-9-9! lol I love the little talks you have with each other when he wakes lol Hearing him realize what he said is to funny

  59. lol that is funny how you're making a t-shirt from what adam says not what STM says.

  64. I agree - "When your husband starts clucking like a chicken in bed, call 9-9-9! It’s not healthy." needs to be on a T-shirt or mug.

    On a side note, why was Adam more concerned about his chicken immitation than about "minge muncher?!"
