I have every issue of The Savage Dragon, I still collect G.I.Joe comics, and I purposefully stroll through the toy aisle so that I can vicariously geek out on cool action figures.

I met my wife at a fanclub picnic for the scottish indie-pop band Belle and Sebastian, I proposed to her on stage at one of their sold-out concerts in Chicago, and I named my daughter after the lead singer of indie-rock band The Essex Green.

I'm an avid skeptic and late-blooming science enthusiast. I listen to skeptic and atheist podcasts, I debunk 9/11 conspiracy theorists on a regular basis, and I read books about the science of air.

I'm a big drama geek. I recently cried listening to the soundtrack to the musical Les Miserable. I've not only read all the Harry Potter books, but I've incorporated that accumulated knowledge into a stage parody of the series.

I am an avid fan of LOST and even was inspired to name my second daughter after a character on that show.

And last, but certainly not least, I send out a christmas 'zine every year instead of a traditional card.

Whoo! Geek flag flying high. It was humbling to admit all that in one post.

I haven't raised my geek flag since Pleasant Lea Junior High (around 1981) so I dusted it off for your approval:

(in no particular order)

I am Star Wars, Stephen King, Simpson's, Mr. Peabody & his boy Sherman, 70's Super Pop, Mythbusters, Emeril Lagasse, Norm Abrahms, Golf, 80's hair bands, member of the KISS Army- Biography Reading, NPR Listening, Poker Playing, Secular Humanist... (who can't stop wearing T-shirts with witty comments to offend the masses)

Wow, that felt pretty good...

Aye, there's nary an animal alive that can outrun a greased scotsman...

I'm a huge music geek, nearing 40,000 songs on my PC...I need to get a bigger iPod.

I'm also completely geeked out by any movie based on comic books...I actually liked Ang Lee's "Hulk" and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." I own "Daredevil: The Director's Cut." "The Dark Knight" has me drooling with anticipation. And I even own "The Tick" live action series. Watching Patrick Warburton, in full Tick regalia, with a shaving cream beard and moustache saying "La Man-cha. La Man-cha..." into the bathroom mirror cracks me up.

I waited for the new Final Cut edition of "Blade Runner," because I really had to have all 4 versions of the film that are available on that cut. Ditto the director's cuts of "Hellboy" and "Lord of the Rings". I'm drooling over the idea of two "Hobbit" movies too.

I'm also a huge Monty Python/Kids in the Hall (and Newsradio because of Dave Foley and Phil Hartman)/Rowan Atkinson/Eddie Izzard geek. British/absurd humor gets me rolling on the floor. If you haven't seen Eddie Izzard's "Dress to Kill," you haven't seen great standup comedy.

I also recently got George Carlin's "Take-offs & Put-ons" because my mom owned it when I was a kid. I hadn't heard it for 30 years, but could still recite most of it verbatim. I guess that's just a lesson in how much of an impression things can have on small kids.

In no particular order of importance, the influences that make me a different brand of geek. cooking shows, cook books, cooking, Mask(action figues and tv cartoon), reading sports almanacs, reading Harry Potter, LOTR, TS Eliot and fantasy in general after the age of 26, Koontz, King, Beard growing, baseball, football, basketball, DarkStar Orchestra, Bob Dylan, Government Mule, the Flaming Lips, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, the grateful dead- I love Deadpod, (Are you being served, Monty Python, Faulty Towers, Benny Hill all watched with my granfdfather.) Can't drink Whiskey cuz it makes me mean. Beer! Cheese! MASH both movie and series. and a play percussion in a community band and I like it.

Huge fan of comic books - have about 170GB of comic books in digital format burned onto DVD-ROM

Huge fan of PEZ dispensers - have about 1100 different ones in my collection

Huge fan of video games - have played every system since the Colecovision and Atari 2600

Huge fan of horror movies - will watch anything from the A-movies to the low B's

There are a lot more things in smaller quantities (e.g. X-Files, Star Wars, LOTR, Transformers, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, etc.), but the list above contains the things that transcend the decades of my life.

I'm a puzzle. I'm books and books on CD, especially Harry Potter and Charlie Bone. I'm Home Improvement and Full House. I'm the Amazing Race and Big Brother. I'm movies and musicals (yes, I love watching and being in musicals). I'm here, but wishing I was there. I'm sometimes happy, sometimes sad, but often lonely. I want to be like you but am glad I'm me. I'm Snoopy and computer games (which I suck at). I'm a dad, a husband, a brother, and a son. I'm a friend who wants one. I used to be a teacher but now am at home. I'm a photographer, a cook, a musician, and an actor. I'm not an athlete, am insecure about this, and would like to be. I'm an on-line fanatic who loves to chat on Yahoo and wishes more people would chat with me. I'm a blogger and a I'm an ADH convention lover who can't wait for the next one! I'm many things.

Alright, I'll take a turn, but I guess I'm just not as geeky as some of you.

EDIT: I just read though my stuff below and I think I may have to retract my statement above... maybe I am fairly geeky after all

Like several posts, I enjoy reading sometimes less than intellectual books such as Steven King (I've read The Stand, Tommyknockers, 'Salems Lot, The Shining, and Insomnia over the last five months and am currently plowing through It). His books are kind of starting to run together for me though.
I also enjoy trivia kinds of books, such as those written by Cecil Adams (The Straight Dope) and David Feldman (Imponderables). I like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books and most things by Arthur C. Clarke. I like Fortean Times magazine (http://www.forteantimes.com) which makes me a huge nerd in my wife's mind, and I also enjoy Mental Floss magazine (http://www.mentalfloss.com).

I liked the Star Wars movies, but can't say that I've read any of the innumerable books that seem to have been written about the time before, after, or between the films and don't have any dolls/action figures related to them other than what might be in my parent's attic. I also liked the movie 2001 and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I have an extensive and ever-growing CD library which includes indie rock, classic rock, and the geekier Prog Rock bands (I've got a soft spot for Yes, Rush, and Pink Floyd which I guess is pretty geeky so I'll include them here).

I like computers and am comfortable around them, but I don't care to do more than add memory, swap out a power supply, or add a wireless network when I need it- I'm not going to try to build a super linux QWERTY 3.5" air spring dual core BADD MUTHER F###ER print server from scratch or anything.

And that's about it. I don't really care for television shows nor to I care for all that many movies. I'd much rather sit around listening to music while maybe doodling with colored pencils for two hours than sit in a theater for that same length of time.

I saw them with my friend from highschool who turned me on to them at The Limelight in Manhattan. It was one night only and it turned out to be there last US show! they ROCKED! At the time they were playing with a band. My friend saw them when they were all automated.

Gotta say Grebo Guroo is mine.

Be Seeing You.

I love reading everybody's comments, but rarely chime in. But I guess if I'm gonna be part of this community, I should join the fray.

Here are a few things that make up my geek flag:

I'm a Red Sox fanatic; I also play shortstop in an "old-guy" league. I'm consumed by trying to find free (and legal) music online, especially indie rock, electronica and anything a little off the beaten path. I love "Lost," "The Office," "Extras," "Heroes," "30 Rock," "The Sarah Silverman Show." I love to read books but quickly forget what I've read. I just started "On the Road," the newly released edition taken from the original scroll he wrote it on. I read it 20 years ago before heading out on my own trip across the country in a stinky van with three friends. Magazines: SPIN, The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly. I read the Boston Globe every day; love that newsprint! Bands I like include the Flaming Lips, Chin Up Chin Up, Liars, Giant Sand, Looper, Led Zeppelin, the Who, the Stones, Ten Years After. I blog at www.davebrigham.com. That's probably enough for now.

This is what I get for not going through the archives.
