#AlexBain started tying when he was 3 & started talking when he was 6. He typed a lot of gibberish on a borrowed electronic typewriter & then started typing "pumpedi" frequently. His only consistent gibberish & likely not gibberish. What is this "pumpedi"? #ActuallyAutistic 1/
Then I realized what he was typing was "Pumped!" Pumped! was either a TV show (I can find no reference now) or a segment of a TV show that was a kids version of a Sports Desk, co-hosted by a couple of young kids (10ish?) around 1990. @CBCPEI @CTVAtlantic 2/
Google is not telling me what show this was or was on. In 1990 we would only have had access to @CBCPEI & @CTVAtlantic so I'm guessing it was part of their Saturday or Sunday morning programming. Since it's part of #AlexBain's story I'd love to have evidence of it's existence 3/
ring any bells tweeps ??

Any chance you remember Pumped?
C'mon twitterverse, help me out. I've helped others with "long shots", now my turn... Someone must remember. At 3yo he hadn't figured out the shift key so, unable to make a "!" Pumped came out "pumpedi". pumpedi pumpedi pumpedi #SolveTheMystery #1990sTV
