The Great Forgetting Tournament!!

It requires years of practice, selfless dedication, and a lot of pizzazz to let things “slip from your mind,” right?

Here’re my friends talking about a movie:

—I just saw Tea with the Dames.

—Oh, how was it?

—Loved it!

—Who’s in it?

—That great fantastic, really, you know, the one who plays a Queen all the time and the dowager from Downton Gosford—absolutely hilarious and WHAT THE FUCK IS THE NAME OF SIR LAWRENCE OLIVIER’S WIFE??????—not Vivian Leigh—the other wife, it was at her house where the dames are drinking all this tea and I forget the fourth dame, I’ll remember in a minute, but they’re all amazingly BRILLIANT, you know!”
