The Last Lightsaber Quiz Post

OK, so in the interests of creating efficiencies and doing things in one Tarkin-ish swift stroke, results from various lightsaber-based quizzes at Quizilla. If sites other than Quizilla prove fruitful, there may be additional posts.

You have earned the blue lightsaber. You are
skilled in the ways of the Jedi, and the Force
is strong with you. You have a mind of your
own, and sometimes do things your own way, but
always for the good. You are looked up to by
the young and are strongly respected for your
decisions.

Which Star Wars Lightsaber Should You Have?

You wield a red lightsaber.

Star Wars: What colour lightsaber should you wield?

Red. This color is usually held by ones who follow
the Dark Side and usually called a Sith Saber.
If you are in the Jedi Council with a saber
like this, I suggest you hide it as best you can
for it often shows you are a Sith.

What Color is your lightsaber?

Blue

What Color Lightsaber Are You?

You are Blue!
You are cunning and brave. Yet you use all
resources in your power to promote peace as the
outcome of any fight. Similar Jedi include
Luke Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi.

What colour lightsaber do you use?

FINAL SCORE: 3 red, 3 blue. Note to self: Stay away from overly-friendly politicians who claim a persecution complex that only I can help resolve. Actually, that would keep me from ever responding to any direct mail fundraising efforts, as well. That works. Now to figure out what to do with that last banner, if not to resize it.

Upon reflection, red and blue seem to be the predominant colors of my Red Sox hat as well. Yee haw.

Arise, Lord Pundit

Score!

You were destined to have a red lightsaber.

Red is the color of fire and blood, so it is
associated with energy, war, danger, strength,
power, and determination as well as passion and
desire. You have seen the strength and power of
the Dark Side of the Force and you thirst
for more of it.


What Color Lightsaber Would You Have?
brought to you by Quizilla

Heh heh heh. I think I wound up with red lightsabers by the end of Knights of the Old Republic games anyways, when I wasn't using blue. The plan for my current KOTOR II game is silver, or perhaps cyan. Red and blue dual wielding's also in the works.

Country Pundit, Sith Lord of the Commonwealth of Virginia. I could get used to that.

The Military Aircraft Quiz

What military aircraft are you? F-15 Eagle You are an F-15. Your record in combat is spotless; you've never been defeated. You possess good looks, but are not flashy about it. You prefer to let your reputation do the talking. You are fast, agile, and loud, but reaching the end of your stardom.

That's a nice description, but I would have preferred either some of the Cold War-era types (i.e. B-52 Stratofortress, B-58 Hustler, F-104 Starfighter, F-106 Delta Dart) or something like the F-14 Tomcat. I've had a long love-hate relationship with the F-15, which all got started back when I was a kid, and found out that the F-15 development program made copious use of former F-102A Delta Dagger fighters as drone targets for the AN/APG-63 radar & AIM-7 Sparrow missile combination. Later on, somewhere in the 1990s, I came about and decided to embrace the thing. It didn't hurt that I'd read the following (paraphrased) description of the F-15 program:

"It was a typical American fighter: Developed in tremendous haste against an imagined threat (the MiG-25 Foxbat), it cost an absolute fortune, overran its budget multiple times, and wrecked several other procurement programs. But it was also the best land-based air superiority fighter in the world, and has been for fifteen years."

Nevertheless: I don't actually have a combat record, but I did manage to do pretty good in law school once I actually got in the courtroom. Southern charm still goes a long way, especially when delivered in an understated "let's be reasonable" manner.

I dunno about my looks. I'm a man; so long as I've shaved recently and had a haircut in the last month or so, I'm fine, thank you. I suppose my reputation preceded me on several occasions; it always helps, whether it be to put the other side to sleep or to earn their respect, depending. Yee haw.

Fast, agile and loud? Two out of three ain't bad; I'm too old to be agile. But my hand-eye coordination's still good, thanks to a steady diet of computer games. Nearing the end of stardom my foot; the F-15C can still slaughter most anything in the skies, thank you. That is, if they'd give it the AIM-120B and AIM-9X with helmet-mounted sight. Kinda like Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven switching from pistol to shotgun.

UPDATE: Well, I spoke too soon about that 'slaughter most anything in the skies' bit. It appears that, when compared to the Su-35 (one of the more up-to-date Russian fighters), the Eagle loses nastily, requiring 1.3 lost F-15Cs to kill 1 Su-35. D'oh!

And yes, I'm well aware that the Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker may very well be superior to the F-15; I've been playing the Su-27 Flanker series of flight simulators since 1996. You've gotta love that beautiful Russian crane.

Certainly an Unexpected Result

Continuing in the Star Wars vein, here's a little something I picked up from Ith at Absinthe & Cookies:

Interesting. I'd been hoping for either Grand Moff Wilhuf Tarkin or Admiral Firmus Piett, but the absolute ruler of the galaxy and probable ancestor to Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman will have to do. I don't look like that, though.
