Caffeine, widely held to make people more alert, can make the mind go blank or struggle to switch between trains of thought. Well, here's the problem.
Better switch to decaf.

I only get those tip-of-the-tongue moments (affectionately called "train wrecks" for when your train of thought... oh, you get it...) when I have too much blood in my coffee stream.

Caffeine, widely held to make people more alert, can make the mind go blank or struggle to switch between trains of thought. Looks like I'm going to have to cut back on the coffee. I wonder if that will help. LOL!

LOL, MY post must have been the subtle one. Poor Blam must have been having one of those 'moments' because he never wondered what I meant!

I'm making a coffee flavored caffeinated cigarette. Mmmm, maybe we could just dry the grounds and smoke 'em?
To: blam
Well then, it's time to ban or heavily tax it then in order to protect the public from the demon bean.
