Mimsie memento

I'm trying to find a plush toy in the likeness of Mimsie the Cat. (He's remembered as the MTM Enterprises mascot.) Where's a good place to start? Anyone know?2604:2000:7113:9D00:5492:C84C:B96E:B7EC (talk) 09:03, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

One of these? --Jayron32 17:08, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

All of that didn't have what I'm looking for.142.255.69.73 (talk) 17:24, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

You could not use a single one of those companies to make you a custom plush doll? --Jayron32 23:46, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

There were too many. Besides, a company distributed the Mimsie plush toys. I don't wish to violate any copyright standards.142.255.69.73 (talk) 18:29, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Do you know if there ever was one? ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:08, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I saw one on a webpage, which I'm trying to remember.142.255.69.73 (talk) 23:11, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

That kitten doesn't have much as far as distinctive markings, so you might just look for a cream-colored plush kitten, and maybe add a Mimsie nametag/collar. StuRat (talk) 23:35, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Hopefully you will find the last mimsie. :-) StuRat (talk) 23:49, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

What does a science fiction movie have to do with a company kitten?142.255.69.73 (talk) 18:29, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

I found something. Go to Google, type Mimsie (The MTM Cat) in the search bar then click. If some scrolling is done, he has a Facebook page. Click on that, scroll down a little bit and some pictures of Mimsie the Cat plush toys are online. I was interested in buying two of them.2604:2000:7113:9D00:B81E:C008:E611:FADF (talk) 06:31, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Nemi in the Metro

Does anybody know why Metro stopped including Nemi at the end of last week? There was none in yesterday's (11 Jan) and I serched it front to back. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:27, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

No explanation as to why, but the official Nemi page on Facebook confirms that Metro have stopped carrying the strip. Warofdreams talk 17:51, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

"Pass the buzz on and take it easy"

Can anyone identify as song for me? It was on the radio a lot in the UK back in the mid 90s, and included the lyrics (I think) "Pass the buzz on and take it easy".Iapetus (talk) 20:50, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Any other clues? What genre? Male or female singer? Any other lyrics you can remember? Vespine (talk) 21:29, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

There have been a large number of songs titled "Take It Easy", which is the phrase I keyed in on here. The most famous was the Jackson Browne/Glenn Frey song best known by The Eagles, but that was a hit in the early 1970s, and would not sound in the right place in the 1990s. The best shot is probably either the song by that title, "Take It Easy" by Mad Lion and one by the Fugees from 2005 (see Fugees discography), which is a decade too late for you, but perhaps they had an earlier version or you misremembered the decade. However, when I tried searching for variations on your specific lyrics, I couldn't find much. --Jayron32 00:00, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Closest I got was Take it Easy by TZU which includes the lyrics "catching a buzz" and "take it easy". Maybe? Matt Deres (talk) 03:26, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Unless Wardog heard "Pass the Vibes" by Definition of sound (starts out with ""Pass the vibes on and take it easy". ---Sluzzelin talk 03:36, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Ah, that's the one. At least, it was the lyrics "Pass the vibes on and take it easy, just flow baby just flow" that I had misheard and was trying to remember. The tune seems different to how I remember though. Were there any remixes or alternative versions? Iapetus (talk) 18:21, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
