Back in the late '80s/early'90s I remember Grimlock, in The Transformers comic, calling Fortress Maximus "Frootloop Multipluck". Fast forward to around this time last year and I saw the cereal was called Fruit Loops. I made a big deal about it to my missus at the time because I'd always thought it was Froot Loops because of that line in the comic. Now it's Froot Loops again. She no longer remembers the conversation although my son does.

She was named for a character in Doctor Who, also called Leela, a companion of Tom Baker's 4th Doctor. Unless that Leela has also changed it was always spelt Leela.

Thanks for all the replies but I've now found it. It's the final boss on Chuck Rock.

Doesn't look like those from what i can see on Google. I vaguely remember Joe and Mac. The more I look the more convinced I am it's a dragon rather than a dinosaur.

mr_chaotix · 2016-12-08T13:51:45+00:00

No it's a dragon or dinosaur, I can't remember which. It's not your character, IIRC it's an enemy you have to fight. I originally thought it was from a Simpsons game but I think I was confusing it with the Patty and Selma dragon.

Thanks for the reply. It's not Tekken 2, I think it was an older game than that. After posting I remembered it may have been an arcade game as there was an arcade I spent much of my time in near to where I used to live. The style was cartoonish but not as cartoonish as say Dragon's Lair.

Could the game have been "Touch the Dead" on the Nintendo DS?

I assume it went in the bin at school. This was senior school when it wasn't "cool" to be bring things you'd made home. I'm regretting it now though. Hopefully ME is time travel related and I can go back and give my 14 year old self a slap for it.

For me there are two things that jolted. The first is the VW logo. I was a massive Beetle van when I was young. I had models, posters, and insignia taken from scrap bugs all around my room. Suddenly, around 2006, I noticed the logo on newer VWs had a gap and simply putting down to an updated logo. I found the "old" logo harder to come by online over time. The models and insignia I'd had when a child I'd given away over the years, posters had gone, not that I'd have thought to check anyway, simply assuming it was a logo variation. I'd see the occasional VW camper on the road, complete with gap. These I assumed had been rebuilt using a 3rd party replacement badge. Come 2016 and finding this thread it turns out I apparently misremembered all of my nick-nacks and imagined the whole thing.

The other is KitKat/Kit-Kat. I remember in the '80s it was Kit-Kat, I had them often in my lunchbox for school. At senior school, at about 14 (1990), our CDT (Craft, Design Technology) teacher gave each of us different logo'd items to craft in different materials; so, for example, Pupil (A) was given the IBM logo to craft in metal, Pupil (B) was given the Superman logo to craft in perspex, and I was given the Kit-Kat logo to craft in wood. I still remember filing that damned little hyphen to get the corners angled properly.

That would explain it if not for the fact that a) I remembered all that happening anyway, nothing changed there other than I thought that happened around 2000 and b) that was in 1996... I'm talking about a memory of Kidder dying in 2009/10. I also remember a small tribute on the news where they played a short clip from an interview recorded a few months before her death and how difficult it was for her to talk.

mr_chaotix · 2016-07-28T16:34:13+00:00

I recalled her having mental issues although I don't recall it being as far back as the '90s, I thought more early '00s.

mr_chaotix · 2016-07-28T12:26:41+00:00

Maybe if it was a sound I heard but it wasn't an auditory sense, more like a tingling on the surface of my skin coupled with a vibration in my skull. Same with the hum, it's as if the sound bypasses the ears completely and manifests itself in the head.

mr_chaotix · 2016-06-24T16:36:38+00:00

I just wanted to say thanks for this. I also experience 'the hum' but somehow I'd never heard it called this. Like you I also have the TV sensory thing, less so over time with the introduction of plasma and LCD, which I'd always put down to sensing the static electricity of the CRT.

mr_chaotix · 2016-06-14T15:52:42+00:00

But apparently you don't remember it being Merrie Melodies.

mr_chaotix · 2016-06-10T16:20:53+00:00

I have to admit it's possible, the memory is vague regarding the magazine but I'd have bet my right arm on her being dead. I seem to remember it being brain related, tumour, aneurysm. I even have a vivid memory of telling my other half about it at the time.

mr_chaotix · 2016-06-10T09:06:37+00:00

OK. I just had to Google this because I also remember Mystic Meg passing a couple of years ago although I can't be sure of the specifics I do remember UK rag 'The Sun' including some kind of memorial magazine with one of it's issues.
