@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)

...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

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

...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.

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..."

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

I'm going to drive to Imi's favorite Wendy's and spread shaving cream all over the floor
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
...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.

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
