I'm geeky in a bunch of totally different areas.
I own 10 different editions of Bowditch.
I know Francis Beaufort had an incestuous affair with his sister when he was in his 60s.
I can make mercator projection plotting sheets from scratch.
I know where my neighborhood tidal benchmark is located -- and I've gone to see it.
I've shot lunar distances underway -- and done the sight reduction.
I keep a DOS computer on my desk to replay goldbox games.
Playing goldbox games on DOS instead of my C64 was a traumatic decision.
I know the rules to 4th Dimension.
I've played Stomp and have the variant rules.
I used Bio One with Top Secret (original, of course).
I still use the spaceship counters from Star Probe.
When I sold my copy of Star Probe, it was worth $1.50.
I have a complete Alternity collection, including the novels.
I wrote a fantasy column for my high school paper.
My column on Skartaris nearly ended my best friendship.
In third grade I told my parents I was going to marry Brenda Starr.
For a fifth grade English assignment, I wrote a love letter to Dejah Thoris.
In tenth grade, the biggest pinup in my room was Dale Arden/Jean Rogers.
All of that was later than 1974.
I was kicked off my teeball team for standing in the outfield with the glove over my face pretending to do Howard Cosell broadcasts through the slits between the fingers of the glove.
