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.)
Trawling through the mutterings that I've got saved in the nest-egg, I noticed that STM has been harping on about God a lot lately. Of course, most of it is him showing disdain. Anyone care to offer a theory as to why?
How very self-referential of STM. He's never shown any direct awareness of the blog before. Anyway, sounds like he's got his own version of the Milkshake Song going (see YouTube).
You said, "Where are your horses now, hmm? 'Four pedestrians of the apocalyse' sounds pretty lame, fuck turds."
ADAM:
Four horsemen, of the apocalypse.
KAREN:
Yeah. What is it? Is it a movie?
ADAM:
No, darling, it's biblical.
KAREN:
I... don't... know... I don't know about... I knew it enough to figure out what you were saying, but, I don't really know what it is.
ADAM:
I believe they represent famine, pestilence, something else, something else. They ride over the earth as a sign of the apocalypse.
KAREN:
Ohhhhh. Four pedestrians of the apocalypse... they just walk around.
ADAM:
The apocalypse happens slowly.
KAREN:
Yeah.
ADAM:
I wonder if they use each other's first names. 'Cause, when you're on a horse and your riding quickly across the skies, you don't have to talk to each other. But, when you're walking...
KAREN:
Like when you get stuck walking alongside someone for a really long time—
ADAM:
You have to talk to them.
KAREN:
You have to, like, ask about each other's kids...
ADAM:
"How're you doing, Clive?" "Hrm."
KAREN:
And then they have to start talking about sports, did you see that game...
ADAM:
"What was he thinking? Trying to run the ball into the net?" "Oh, that's the Arsene Wenger philosophy, I'm afraid." (chuckles to himself)
Karen's notes: These two are both from the nest-egg. That second one's from all the way back to our honeymoon at the Elephant sanctuary, where there was, in fact, a crazy pony.
Adam said this while I was in the States. When I asked if he had any clue what it meant he told me that he had spent a long time the day before debating whether he'd have chicken for lunch or for dinner. I guess dinner won out.
"Leave my gnomes alone. They're MY gnomes, living in MY house, doing MY gardening, and they're happy. Look at their fucking smiley faces. Can't you see how frickin' happy they are? Who are you to judge me?! Go on, gnome, cut the grass. Good gnome. Good gnome."
A very good question STM raises. Do we have any blind readers out there who would care to illuminate?
"Argh! You love my boat! It's the best splashy splashy time anyone can have. I'll slit your throat for a gold coin. Argh! Argh, argh. Splishy splashy time."
I had a bit of a struggle with this one. To me, it sounded like STM was actually complimenting someone, that they had a bra size and IQ beyond their years. But Adam think he's saying that, for example, they are turning 32, which is also their bra size and their IQ. Knowing STM, I suspect Adam's got it right.
"Put Mr. Squidly down! How DARE you try and milk him! Come on, Mr. Squidly. Let me put you back in your tank. Aw, it's okay. Why don't you hug my arm. Yeah, use all your little tentacles. There there. Everything's gonna be okay. He's only a douche."
These next two clips were from the early stage of the night. Note how, the first time, he seems to actually wake up in the middle of our exchange, having no idea that he has been talking to me. I don't know which I find funnier, his indignant insistence, or his pathetic whimpering.
Listen to this craziness: Adam said this in his sleep last week. But the batteries had died in the recorder some time before, so I missed it. A few nights later, Adam said this, word-for-word, again. But the amazing thing is that I had NEVER TOLD Adam about it. I never told him what he'd said, I never mentioned him that I'd missed recording something at all! It's like STM knew that this little gem had never gotten it's due attention, so he gave it another try.
"You panicked, and you ate it? Oh shit! Where am I gonna find twelve more of those little furry critters? Don't panic again!"
"There's two things that have gotta happen before I consider kissing you: suck my hairy love nuts, and fuck off! ...Okay, I've considered it, and the answer's no."
