Good morning peevers.

It's official- June was the wettest and second dullest on record, and July is continuing the same way.

Rant over, on with the peeve.

I was looking through that movie quotation thread and there were one or two I knew but the answer just wouldn't come out.

I'll use that as the basis for the POTD, which is;

Knowing you know the answer to something but it just won't pop out of your head.

It's when it flits past, you catch the tail end of it but you can't grab it enough to see what the answer actually is

I dunno, it's pretty close between that and Cerebral Diarrhoea.

This happens to me more times than I'd care to admit. It's especially embarrassing when it's something I'm supposed to know (and do know) but I just can't pull it out.

I usually come up with the answer at 2:00 in the morning in the middle of a sound sleep.

I love it when you know you're about to get asked something, and the answer will slip into the gray matter before you can blurt it out.!
