Am I the only person I know on LiveJournal who doesn't want one of their friends to send them a bunch of interview questions?

gym and a bit of socializing

My gym is planning to introduce some kind of supervised fast workout with weight machines, aimed at people who only do cardio now. They've gotten eight new machines (some may be duplicates of stuff they already had) and rearranged much of the existing equipment to make room for them, so I spent some time wondering where things were. Also, I did almost entirely upper-body stuff, because of an odd pain in one leg.

After exercising, I met marykaykare, her niece Sarah, and cattitude at Ollie's, where we ate lots of Chinese food and talked about theatre and such (Mary Kay and Sarah are in the city for a week of intensive theatre-going). Then we went around the corner for ice cream. after which I concluded I was too tired to go to the piano bar, so came home with Cattitude.

silliness

cattitude was just telling me about scammers who sold pills alleged to increase penis size, breast size, and height (presumably not all the same pill) and improve the victim's golf game, and observed that he was surprised that they don't sell one to turn your car into a red convertible.

After suggesting that there was more money in selling stolen red convertibles, I added that the scammers probably realized that you couldn't get the car to swallow the pills. Which led to the thought of pills for cars as a hitherto-untapped marketing opportunity. Higher gas mileage is too mundane, and so is faster acceleration.

Can we convince the car that if it takes these pills (harmlessly in the gas tank, or maybe in the radiator for the serious stuff) it will develop a better brakes, a sunroof, tail-fins, and machine gun turrets?
