I'm not trying to remember a story

We can rule out the Alamo. You’d remember that.

I used to live in the basement.

But I bet you are not trying to remember living in that place on 9th, about a half a block from Veasy, where your roommate was a dealer. Good times. Best to not remember that.

Now that we haven’t resolved this, can I not hijack the discussion by pointing out that I made salmon for dinner?

I contacted Peter Mark Richman and it’s not him.

You knew that!

Whatever it is you’re not trying to remember, I’d suggest that getting good and drunk will not help you remember it. To continue not remembering indefinitely, you should stay drunk.

Yes, but he specifically said in the OP title, “I’m not trying to remember…” which is a rather different thing from “I’m trying not to remember…” Alcohol is helpful with the latter, but kind of superfluous with the former.

Yes, an important distinction.

Damn! They’s multiplyin’!!

Sorry but I make it not a rule to not help people trying not to find or remember things that could be important. Or not. Who knows? I usually only read the titles of threads anyway.

There’s no basement at the Alamo!

He didn’t remember that part?

(and for the second time tonight I’m ashamed at myself)

42?

That one was OK, I guess, but really his earlier work was much better.

More like the Latrobe PA version of “33”.

(I suspect alcohol could be involved somewhere among us)

Romulan Ale

Rabbit steaming on an open fire,
Water boiling up it’s nose.
Your ex, Carol, struck the match that lit the pyre
You’re probly next, that’s how it goes.

Everybody knows.

Made salmon, did you? From what?

And menstruating, it looks like.

Found 'em!

They were in my other pants

Thanks, everyone
