while read­ing one of my favorite blogs, mash­able — a well known and highly regarded social media guide, i came across a post they pub­lished a few days ago called, “sleep talkin’ man is a viral sen­sa­tion”. the arti­cle directs you to a blog enti­tled, “sleep talkin’ man”, which is indeed, as the mash­able author, brenna ehrilch described — hysterical!

the blog, which was launched almost a year ago by karen slav­ick, revolves around her husband’s newly devel­oped sleep dis­or­der, oth­er­wise known as som­nil­o­quy — or some­one who talks in their sleep. in this case, it’s not so much a dis­or­der as it is a sleep­ing gold­mine. ‘sleep talkin’ man’ fea­tures the night to night ram­blings of karen’s ‘mild man­nered eng­lish hus­band, adam’ — who spurts out some ridicu­lously funny and wacked out stuff while he snoozes. some of which include:

• “My don­key. That’s my don­key. Get off my don­key! You know, you’re not some super-star don­key jockey. Piss off.”
• “Babies don’t bounce. They don’t bounce! Shame. It’d be much more fun if they bounce.”
• “Just look at your­self. Yeah, now look at me. You don’t stand a chance. It must suck to be you, I’m sure.”
• “Flap’s on fire. Your flap’s on fire! Chili in the vagi­i­i­i­ina. I’m a bad bad boy.”
• “It’s CHICKEN and you LIKE IT. Lentil-loving, bean burger-shitting wanker.”
• “Your mum’s at the door again. Bury me. Bury me deep.”
• “I haven’t put on weight. Your eyes are fat.”
• “Now fuck off and let me bask in the glory of being me.”

the site has ben­e­fited from tons of well deserved atten­tion with over 2 mil­lion unique vis­i­tors to date and thou­sands of fol­low­ers both on twit­ter and face­book (i’m sure that mashable’s post played quite a role in boost­ing the num­bers) as well as inter­na­tional media coverage.

the blog itself is very sim­ple, as it con­sists of daily diary-style post­ings; but at the same time it’s extremely unique. so if you’re in the mood for a good laugh, def­i­nitely visit karen’s lovin’ and carin’ ‘sleep talkin’ man’.

all i can say is that if my hubby had such a prof­itable and effort­less tal­ent, i would keep him on sleep­ing pills!
