Have you ever....?

Have you ever tried to explain your own personal filing system that your mind uses to someone? It's really hard. But I succeeded. Here. This is from a conversation Richard & I had tonight. Shows how My Mind Works.

random comment made sparks mimic of banjos in Deliverance.
Mimic of banjos turns into mimic of theme from Addams Family.
It gets mentioned that Christina Ricci was the perfect Wednesday.
"You know who was hot? Morticia."
"Who was that actress?"
Here's where Karen's Filing System leaps into play:
I get a mental picture of the still unknown actress' hair in Buffalo Girls... Just the hair with the hat.
I say "Acting Family" and get a picture of Drew Barrymore with a big X "Not the Barrymores"
Richard says "Hemingways?"
I get a mental picture of Mariel Hemingway's tits. "No."
I get a mental image of John Huston on the set of Prizzi's Honor (saw an interview)
"Anjelica Huston!"
It took about 30 seconds.

This is my 'Random bits of useless trivia that may be needed someday' filing system.
Songs are worse.
I have visions of myself at the age of 60 shouting out random words because the clerk in my head has broken a hip.
My mind can scare me sometimes.
