20.51282% - Geek I'm kinda bummed. I was hoping for Total or Major Geek status, but I'm not a Trekkie, and I don't like Tolkein or any fantasy stuff.

I as a 5% geek gave birth to a "Total Geek". My son scored 29% and was dissatisfied. I'm sure that since he is only 12, he will one day achieve his goal of becoming a "Geek God".

24.85207% - Geek I can live with it. Several points came from my journalism career in writing game hint books--and we have 2 or 3 video game systems--which shouldn't count actually since I don't play them. hmmm...nah, I'm okay with my inner geek.

Yay, Bob!!! I KNEW you would be major. I am just worried that Karuuna is more geeky than you, because you are pretty, well ... uhhhhhhhhhh ... out there. You know what I mean?

Dawg, does the fact that I'm 8 hours away from having 3 DirecTIVO receivers installed so I can record 6 shows at the same time give me enough extra geek points to make me more geeky than Karuuna? Don't bother to answer. I've got some TV to watch.

Spongie, thanks for demonstrating that you are SO geeky that you are even competitive about your geekiness. (and don't you just suspect a teeny bit that Karuuna must have fudged a tad? deep down in your little sponge heart?) I'll just say that if we have a geek-off around here, my money is on you! Yay geeks! Oh Bob? Has anyone warned you about what happened to Fanny when she got Tivo? And what was the only cure for it?

I only have geekish tendencies. I wanted to be geekier than that! Guess I don't know enough Star Trek stuff.
