Brain go 'pop'

Is there a word for when you forget something you were going to say that you're pretty sure would be very interesting?

This morning, I had an idea for a post that I thought would blow the roof off the mother. Seriously, I have no idea what the post was about, but I can remember thinking it would go over well. I remember going "someone will metaquotes this for SURE!", which is just the saddest fucking thing I've ever said via my internal monologue.

I know the French have a phrase for thinking of something to say afterwards, when it's too late to do any good. I can't recall one for forgetting something very neat. There's probably a term for it in German.

Hoo'd win Part The Captain's Log

Ladies! Gentlemen! Klingons!

The time has come to settle the greatest debate in history. Few disagreements have been as contentious as the one we will debate today. From "Does God Exist?" to "who are you and what are you doing in my country?" to "Do you think these pants make my butt look fat?" to , none of these conundrums are as discord inducing as this one:

Which Starfleet captain is supreme? Kirk, or Picard?

Surely, both of them have their advantages. Kirk's raw animal passion is a force to be reckoned with across the galaxy, whether in combat or sweet lovemaking. Picard's arrogance was tempered by a near death experience in his youth. He acted as a scalpel of reason and compromise, while Kirk will was a dull bludgeon of forcefulness and ripped shirts.

So! Make your choice! Let your voice be heard! Talk as if nobody's listening!

[Poll #922007]

p.s. Can you believe I've never asked this one before?

p.p.s. as always, tell your friends.

p.p.p.s. As of this moment, I would like to say: what a horse race! Picard & Kirk are tied at 10 each, and Sisko, the dark horse of the race, is breathing down their necks with nine!

p.p.p.p.s As of 8:20, Feb 7, it is dead even at 23 votes each.
