Of course, all of us here are Music Geeks of the highest order.
Many of us are Movie Geeks, too.

So... what else do you geek out over?

Me:
Movies (though not so much as I used to)
Food

and that's about all I have time for these days.

You?

I have no vices or geek obsessions.

Plus I apologize for none of them.

No apology necessary.
I am an unapologetic geek of all the above.
I think we all are.

And you know that you geek out over SOMETHING... admit it, Phil.

Definitely. Especially in a good brew house with tons of stuff on tap.

Movies

I can name every starting QB and RB for Georgia in the last 30 years.


The only video game I was obsessed with in the last few years was Halo. I was consumed for about 6 months.

That is a really strange picture if you look at it for a moment. Seems like everything is in super-focus, like it's a matte background or something.

You can't learn everything from a book ya know...


...although being a bit of a book geek would probably be me as well.

And, my wife's obsession with true crime makes me know way more than I otherwise would about it and we at least share the serial killer fascination.

Horror movie geek I guess you could say as well.

Oh, and I think I want to hang out with you and your wife. Have you two seen that show on Discovery or Bravo (maybe some other station) called "Most Evil"? Some doctor assigns numbers to serial killers based on their crimes. It's awesome. Did you see Turistas last weekend? I don't think it'll be very good, but I'm still psyched to see it.

I'm a huge huge baseball geek. People used to ask me all kinds of questions in middle and high school about baseball and baseball history and used to be amazed when I would answer them correctly everytime. I've grown rusty at this over the years but still know a ton.

Yes...that show is on our TiVo. I only have one problme with his evil scale. Guys like Ed Gein for example score too low by being out of touch with reality. I guess he has a point morally, but for me, evil is evil whether the guy realizes it or not.

Don't know if I want you hanging out with my wife...you may just steal her away. You'd have to agree to a package friendship.
