When I was in France this year, I picked up a poem book with local poetry. One of the poems really struck me (and I wish I had the book with me, but sadly I don't).

The part that really got me was, and I'm paraphrasing here:

The best ideas come in the shower, The best ideas come on a long ride on a train Then they are passed into the ether never to be seen again.

That isn't the poem, but the basic "idea" of the poem. I loved it, because I always have these flighted ideas in the shower, or waiting for an airplane or at 3:00am. I never revisit them (but to my credit I have started a text file on my laptop where I just throw them in now).

Milk-Thirsty is exactly like one of my ideas, but I'm never thirsty for milk. Please keep doing these (Whoops thought this was posted by someone else) fuffle!
