Sleep-Talking Husband Becomes a Hit
The latest internet sensation is the Sleep Talkin' Man. The blog was created by Karen Slavick-Lennard and is a collection of things her husband Adam says during his sleep. The site has attracted a lot of attention, getting half-a-million views from more than 50 countries this week alone. Some of Adams best utterances include: "Don't leave the duck there. It's totally irresponsible. Put it on the swing, it'll have much more fun"; "Ooh! My balls are itchy. Have you got the cheese grater?"; and "I've got a badger, a dog, a cat and a sack." Back in 92' my sleeping college suitemate told a group of us, "A girl, a loincloth, and a small car. that's all you need." Looks like I missed the boat on this one.
Finally, an explanation of how the Firesign Theatre dialogs were actually written!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
When I was a kid I remember spending the night at a friends house with a bunch of my buddies. We were in the middle of a discussion about funny things we were told we had said in our sleep. When during a brief pause in the convesation one of my friends, that hadn't said anything in a bit, blurted out "You can't put a dog in the fridge!" Everyone hesitated for a moment before some of us who had a dog replied that we were confident we could make it happen. After a bit of talking about it and whether or not we should attempt to prove it. We discovered that our blurting friend was sound asleep the whole time. 15 years later and he still hasn't lived that one down.
The word 'balls' and cheese grater should not be in the same paragraph.
There are several sites out there. http://nateatnight.com/ includes recordings. Some of them are quite humorous.
