I have a horrible mind. Things slip and slide and fall through it all the time. I've joked that my brain is like a sponge, in that it gets wrung dry every five minutes. One effect of this is that I am often tormeted by fragments. Sometimes I'll get things stuck in my head - a name, a face, a scene, a lyric, something with no immediate reference that I can't quite place. It'll go on and on, driving me crazy at random times. Often I'll come to it, eventually, after I had forgotten why it had occured to me in the first place.
This time it was a phrase. It popped into my head a few weeks (months?) ago and hadn't left, worming its way into my conscious, usually late at night (or early morning) as I try to fall asleep.
"I talk when I'm nervous - I mean, I talk like this when I'm nervous..."
It's female, a young woman, mid-20s probably, at the time. Some names kept coming and going - Sandra Bullock, Juilia Roberts, Minnie Driver, even Cate Blanchett - but none fit the bill. So on and on it goes, until suddenly -
I HAVE IT!
So I flop around on the bed, elated and do a few victory spins in the sheets. Now I can finally sleep properly!
IT'S FREAKIN' FRANKA POTENTE!*

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
Sitting on the pot usually helps refresh my memory.
So, where's the epiphany part?
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.

That kinda was it. Trust me, the way I'm constantly tormented like this, figuring it out is an elating experience.
Whenever I walk to the grocery store, I get Irving Berlin stuck in my head. Don't know why, except that I sang Berlin in elementary school chorus. With lyric changes, of course.

I had a similar one 2 weeks ago. I had the phrase "blue moose" in my head for about a week. I couldn't figure out what the heck it was but I just kept thinking "blue moose."
Well, my dentist called and had me come back in for some more impressions. I had been in the week before and had impressions and I was on some serious drugs at the time. On that next trip, I heard the dentist say something like "I thought the blue moose we did last week was fine, but the lab wants another one." Apparently blue moose is the stuff they use to make the impressions.

Until the next thought process, at least.
That kind of thing is the reason that my friends and I don't understand how people could exist before Google and imdb.com.
My dad says that before the internet, if you really wanted to know something like that, you called the newspaper.

Lay off the weed, man.
I recognized the phrase as soon as I read it. /flex

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
I think my brain operates much like yours, Deb. I always just assumed it was a malignant brain tumor slowly destroying my hippocampus.
Here's an epiphany:
Blue Moose
Grey Goose
Red Bull
Silver Fox
Pink Elephant
Colored animals, maaaannn, it's a trend. They're living in rainbow harmony.

blue, grey, silver, red and pink don't make a very good looking rainbow 
If this is what you consider an epiphany, you're more depressing than your pictures let on.

Sad but true.
