I used to think that the likelihood of a particular piece of information sticking to my brain and staying was inversely proportional to its usefulness.

However, over the last few days, it has occurred to me that I've forgotten things like the word kitsune, and all the bits to the South Philly Banishing Ritual (some of the bit I remember goes "ahead a' me, Ralphie! Behind me, Oreo, and don't be trying nothin, cause I got my eye on you!").

So maybe it's not as hard and fast a rule as I previously thought.

HHHHHMMmmmm??? the rigors of getting a little older. We are all cursed as such, after the brain has abosrved so much that some of it goes int othe dusty boxes in the back room. the upside is you can say to the upstarts, "i've forgotten more than you will ever know about it.' It is a small solace ;-)

I think as long as I haven't forgotten more than I will ever know, I'm probably fine. It does get irritating though.

Alate means to have wings.
Wuzzle means to mix.

You're a very helpful fellow. I have vague inclinations to chew on your head.
