He’d better be able to justify the build-up. Things like this have a habit of growing in the public imagination, and oftentimes the reveal ends up being a letdown a la the “Ginger” (Segway).

“a la the ‘Ginger’ (Segway)a la the ‘Ginger’ (Segway).”

Oh yeah, I remember “it”. The thing that was supposed to revolutionize modern civilization. Everyone thought it was going to be a hover-craft, or something. Maybe a jet-pack. Then we learned it was a scooter you lean on. Yawn.

I’ve never seen one in use in real life. Goes to show you how gullible the MSM and internet are.
