if hypersonic means faster than sound, i guess hydrosonic means something anout water and sound? maybe in terms of the toothbrush it is producing microscopic sound waves in water or something? but unless you are attacking people with underwater sound waves, hydrosonic is ridiculous terminology. when talking about the hedgehog, the “super” got dropped and so his name literally just means sound wave… but it implies he’s faster than sound or something. so a dummy who knows the hedgehog is fast might assume the word sonic just means fast… and then with that broken logic assume hydrosonic means fast in water. its wrong obviously. im probably overthinking this.

I fired this up, waited until they hit their full speed, and then scrolled down to @Amstrad Mary Poppins’ gif below. Neat!

And then he brags about it in public to make it all about him.

doing what he always does when he says something wrong: he pretends like he meant to say it.
It really is a crazy tic of his. My favorite was when he was doing the frackiong State of the Union address and he’s paying tribute to a guest of honor, and he doesn’t just get the guy’s name wrong, but then matter-of-factly spins out the casual, obvious lie that the man in question goes by both Trump’s flub of the name and the actual name:
This gem should go on the pediment of the Trump Doral Twitter Library & Casino:
"They sacrifice every day for the furniture — and future — of their children."

TRUMP: …as our brave men and women fight the plaque of global extremism…
AIDE: (Psst—sir, that’s pronounced “plague of global extremism”)
TRUMP: SHUT UP I KNEW THAT I SAID “PLAQUE” ON PURPOSE

What we really need is a ballistic-floss!
Or better yet, a cost-free bi-annual pediatric dental visit. Just like most countries with multiple billionaire residents are able to accommodate. The health of your gums tells quite a bit about the health of your body. But some kids can’t see a dentist because their parents’ jobs won’t swing for it, and even if their jobs are awesome and have that coverage they can’t take time off for it.

There are so many example of Trump, not wanting to look foolish by correcting himself when he made a mistake, instead going to elaborate lengths to pretend his obvious mistake was on purpose, making himself look incredibly foolish. (On top of all the instances where he pretends he meant to say that and just looks dumb, or completely fails to convey what he intended to, causing confusion.)
I keep thinking of how even this normally dumb but innocuous behavior ended up having real negative impacts, even arguably leading to the loss of lives - case in point, when he misread the teleprompter in his speech announcing new travel restrictions from Europe. He screwed up and left out the bit that this didn’t apply to American citizens/residents, and since he also didn’t coordinate with or inform the relevant entities of this policy, and because he announced it at the last minute, and didn’t correct himself (nor would the White House immediately correct him, either), people understandably freaked out. Americans had a day to get tickets or (apparently) get trapped in Europe for an unknown period of time, not just leading to mass chaos and people spending their life savings to get non-refundable plane tickets they didn’t need, but because no transportation entities were informed, airports, immigration and quarantine efforts were completely unprepared as well. People ended up stuck in tight crowds at airports, along side groups of those known to have covid, which ended up being a super-spreader event.

Don’t hold your breath; that song (which was their only hit) was awful in '88, let alone now.

Perhaps nostalgia for my youth, but I still thought it was ok, although I acknowledge that maybe going a cappella at the beginning wasn’t the best plan. Does make me better appreciate L’Trimm though.

The Cars that go Boom?!?!?
I’m starting to question your taste level when it comes to hip hop.
Anecdote; in 1988 I was 13 years old and everyday at lunch the cool kids would mock whatever horrible videos were being played in heavy rotation on Mtv/BET.
They were merciless to groups like J.J. Fad and L’trimm.
Unless a female MC could rock it like MC Lyte or Salt N’ Peppa, they got zero respect, and were treated as the joke-novelty acts that they were…

Haha, actually I wasn’t keen on “The Cars That Go Boom”, but I liked their next album Drop That Bottom. Folly of my youth perhaps, I haven’t felt like hunting it down to give it a re-listen.
ETA: Actually my mention of L’Trimm was a little bit backhanded, come to think of it.
