8 thoughts on “Quiz: ‘Star Wars’ name, ballplayer, or Thai food?”
Lessee … my guesses (S = Star Wars character, B = Baseball player, T = Thai food) (invisible if I did it right – highlight to read):
S (Flunk – it’s Thai)
S (B – I call that a trick question)
B (S – a-a-and he’s out!)
S (B – I’m getting a bad feeling about this…)
T (S – …)
B (S – …)
S (B – …)
S (T – …)
T (S – …)
T (S – …)
T (T – YES! FINALLY!)
S (T – and back to the grind…)
B (B – another hit!)
B (S – wait, never mind)
S (B – …)
S (S – well, alternating beats what I had before)
B (B – two in a row!)
B (T – hmm, proper irony would say the next should be B…)
T (T – …does it still count as irony if I guess wrong about guessing wrong?)
B (S – alternating again…)
S (B – oh, there it is…)
S (S – guess I canceled my two-in-a-row now)
T (S – aw…)
T (T – best take what I can get)
S (B – I’m not sure this says more about Star Wars than about baseball…)
S (B – … case in point …)
T (T – hah! the phat will not lead you wrong!)
S (S – score!)
B (B – and again!)
T (T – and I go out on a win!)
… 0.3667 is a good batting average, right?
So much for ‘invisible’…
I’m curious – how did you try to hide them?
<text style=”color: #000033;”> – I see it’s not on the approved list. (Cool squiggly map of the front page, btw.)
(Got the #000033; off your stylesheet, incidentally. I notice that it’s wrong for half … no, all the comments. Le sigh.)
#000033 is the background color of the main page, but not of the comments. for those you’d need to check the comments and alt comments styles I think. Have I mentioned my stylesheet’s a few hundred lines?
I got way more than half wrong. But I was handicapped by three things:
1) I don’t eat Thai food.
2) I don’t study baseball, past or present.
3) I don’t subscribe to any of that non-canonical Star Wars stuff. The order of Star Wars canon goes, in decreasing order of reliability: Episodes 4, 5 and 6; the expanded universe books based upon 4, 5 and 6; the comics; the video games; the Ewok Adventures; the 80’s cartoons; the breakfast cereals; the Holiday Special; the battles I used to have between my Star Wars, Masters of the Universe and GI-Joe action figures; and lastly, Episodes 1, 2 and 3 and the books based upon them.
I love how Ep. 1-3 are last on your list, behind your own personal battles ;)
