Have you ever thought of the perfect question for Yahoo! Answers, then forgotten it before you could post it?
I swear, while driving home from work the other day, I had a barn burning wonderful question that just leapt out at me. I meant to post it as soon as I got in, but I ended up crashing and it has totally eluded my mind ever since. Has it happened to you? Did you ever think of it again?

That happens to me A LOT. I think of a question that seems like the question to end all questions, then I forget it when I'm in front of the computer. !!
When I remember what the question is, it just doesn't seem as earth-shaking as it did when I first thought of it. Maybe forgetting is just a way our minds filter out bad questions. Who knows.

Is there such a thing as a perfect question?Aren't questions like snowflakes. Each delicate and beautiful in their own way. No two are alike.
lol,yes. Usually when I am walking home from work and have nothing with me to write with. I had a great thought too the other day but something was boiling over on the stove so I am left with inanities.
I have also had what I thought was the perfect question but it wasn't at all recieved perfectly.

Yes, all the time...but sometimes I remember them, and ask, and...nothing (see my Taking Back Sunday/Lost question)...
What is even worse - reading a question and having an award-winning answer pop into your melon, and then your kid needs to 'go pee 'n poop BAAADDD!' (and when you get up there she decides she doesn't have to go after all) or - you're at work and your boss comes out to tell you a bunch of crap you already knew, and then by the time you ALT-TAB Answers back up, you have forgotten said award-winning answer.

Ohhh Thank you for asking this. Now I know it's not just me!! I had a wonderful question the other day to ask and by the time I sat at the puter, I forgot it. Grrrrrrrrr!!! I felt so stupid....lol
Unfortunately, I have not remembered what it was so I hope you can remember yours.
You have a great day!!!!

Dang .. I had the perfect answer for this question .. then I tried to multitask and answer my phone .. now what was it?
I typically think of responses to questions while commuting. Either questions that I know people have asked or questions that I've already answered that I want to add more stuff to.

Yea, yesterday I was thinking of a great question that I was going to post and I kept on doing my house chores and thought I could wait until later, well I forgot the question and what it was about. :(

It happens to me all the time. Then I remember and see that mojoman has already posted it. I think he has my house bugged. I keep seeing figures in tuxedos creeping around my yard talking into walkie talkies.

It happens to me all of the time! I usually have my best ideas for questions while driving. And, no, I don't ever think of it again. Well, not as of yet, anyway. :o)

Happens always. And no I can never remember. I'm blonde. I'm lucky to just remember how to get back to this site every day. Am I right?
