Top Ten Geekiest Hobbies

[CarlZog]

Well, EVERYBODY here is somewhere on the top ten. I'm in for two out of ten(9&10)! Where are YOU on this top ten list?

By the way, if you can't laugh at yourself, you probably shouldn't bother with this link.

4 of 10 *sob!*

4 out of ten! Including #1! Oh the shame, the shame!

 

[Droid101]

Only one. And I so thought that tabletop war games would crack the top ten. Oh well!

 

[Wombat]

That list misses all sorts of things...

Like my sister's obsession with writing Buffy slash fanfic...

(returning to the topic)

I score about 2.5 -- rpgs, of course, as well as an interest in (but not terribly deep -- don't collect figures, cards, and the like, don't pick up most novels, no dress up, or no memorizing scripts, and of course NO CONVENTIONS!) in Star Trek, and a small (but not memorized)collection of Sandman , Flaming Carrot and The Tick comics. Wasn't quite sure how to score the latter two, so I game them each a score of 0.75... which is probably excessively geeky

"Anyone who maintains a diary blog" and "fanfics" should be somewhere on that list. And also, the author, seanbaby, really shouldn't throw stones. He maintains a website about the Superfriends tv show. While biting and satirical, at some level he must like the show.... (I'm just guessing that these two seanbabys are one and the same.)

 

[Chaldfont]

Ahhh, Seanbaby. I used to read The Wave when I lived in the Bay Area. His articles were the first to be read.

If you like what you read, you should check the archives of The Wave for his reviews of foreign knock-offs of Star Wars. Also check out his site, seanbaby.com and read his attempt to make his own fireworks.

Just be careful with this site at work or around Eric's grandmother.

6 out of 10, but I'm insulted...being in the same list as furries/plushies, PLEASE!

 

[warlord]

D&D and SW I'm such a nerd. But LARPing at #1 I wasn't awhere there were still places to LARP.

 

[RichCsigs]

I refuse to believe that collecting comic books is more geeky than backyard wrestling!

 

[Desdichado]

Ah, only 2.5... D&D, Star Wars and a few comics here and there. I'm not so bad.

But, like others have said, it's missing pretty nerdy hobbies that I think should have bumped some of the things that are present.
