Heart full of napalm / stomach full of Flumps

@howfar That's got to be painful. From what I remember, Grandpa Flump's flumpet wasn't the ideal shape for soft tissues.

@DaveHiggins Haha. Weirdly I don't remember the Flumps animation. Which is odd, because it's seems to have been repeated a lot alongside all the children's classics I do remember (e.g. The Wombles and Paddington). I may have to address this gap in my cultural knowledge!

I was, in fact, thinking of the sickly marshmallow brand. But if I have to vore a stop motion puppet or two on my path to greatness, so be it!

@howfar That seems to be true of most people: I can remember that I watched the Flumps, but not any of the episode content.

It's like one of those conspiracy theories about people who've ended up in an almost identical parallel universe.

@DaveHiggins I think these cultural distorted/missing memory phenomena are probably revealing of how much of our experience (at least retrospectively) is a jointly constructed artefact. It's quite common to talk of having false memories of things our families tell us we did, but it seems more complex than that. Our retention of 'real' memories is so mediated by and (e.g. in the case of the Flumps) dependent on later contexts that the whole real/false distinction becomes problematic.

@howfar @DaveHiggins You guys talking about kid's shows you don't remember. You've both read this, right? If not, you should because it sounds similar to what you're experiencing.
