    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    @Anonus, last page: I used the open-source "URW Gothic L", which was one of the 35 fonts URW contributed to the Ghostscript project in the mid-'90s.

    ...You can probably find it on Google, if you want it. (They're widely available as Type 1, but there are TrueType versions out there too)

    ^^I have too many favorites.

    ...Huh, it turns out there are actually two sets of open-source-licensed URW fonts: the 35 Ghostscript fonts, which are Type 1 fonts intended as an alternative to the basic PostScript fonts, and a set of 80 GhostPCL fonts, in TrueType format.

    The ones I have are from the latter. I suppose the fact that there are 80 and not 30 should have tipped me off, but hey, I installed them over a year ago and I had forgotten that particular detail. :P

    Haven: That was my first thought, too.

    Eh, I've just noticed something from the timestamps

    I'm the only Eurofag here.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Not really. Idler 20 and Bobby G have accounts here, though their activity here is infrequent.

    ...For some reason the first thing I noticed is that the car strongly resembles a late-1990s Toyota Corolla.

  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I want to sleep. But probably shouldn't now.

    It is a little late to be sleeping, yeah.

    *totally not thinking of taking a nap*
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    You mean early, don't you?

    ...Yeah, I guess that makes more sense.

    I meant to say it's too late to be napping, because then you'd be wide awake when it really is bedtime.

    ...so for some reason earlier I was thinking about ABC and ESPN winning their fictitious Olympic bid.

    You and I should host a show on Discovery
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    What would it be about?
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I don't know, I haven't worked that part out yet.

    ...No, you know what, we should host a kids' show on PBS instead. The show will open with some kind of "mystery", then we'll challenge the viewers to figure out how it's done, then spend most of the episode showing little clips that could help them figure it out. At the end of the show we return to the first story to reveal how it's done.

    So, like, we could do an episode on perception. We'd start by going out to one of the so-called "gravity hills" and letting your car roll "uphill". Then we're like "Can you figure out how we made Gold's car defy gravity? We'll tell you at the end of the show."

    We then present several little segments on perception, including one on the Ames Room. At the end of the show, we're like "So, did you figure out how we made Gold's car roll uphill at the top of the show? If you said magic--well, you kinda missed the point of this show. But if you said the car didn't roll uphill, you're right! You see, this road is actually angled downhill. But the way these trees and telephone poles are angled, it gives the illusion of being angled uphill! It's not camera tricks--it looks that way in real life, too! So because of your perception..."

    Like that.

    ...the only reason I didn't say "it should be on The Hub" is because they are ad-supported. Ad breaks take away some of the fun.

    Admittedly I can't think of any more episode ideas.

    Also, after checking the net, that car is almost assuredly a late 1990s Toyota Corolla.

    Good eye.

    Still awesome, though.

    WENDY'S
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I was there tonight.

    Some teenagers were acting like hooligans.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Why?
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Well, they all worked there, although some were off-duty. I guess they were just in a hyper kind of mood for some reason. Ate too many Frostys, maybe.

    Some things make me spout nonsense and get loopy (e.g. football, All That).

    ...my mind has leaped to WCAU-TV, and it bearing the CBS O&O graphics and CBS Enforcer New Generation 2 in another universe where the network was never bought by Westinghouse.

    Please do, CA. It would amuse me.

    I don't know. I just kinda want to learn to look at the details of something that most people don't think about and then make it better.

    ...This is probably a silly whim and will likely pass, just like my desire to go to law school earlier this week
