Inspired by LadyC's reference to Beat the Geeks from that Back to the Future thread, I thought it might be interesting to find out....if you were invited to be a geek on that television show...what would be your specialty?

The show is reserved for pop culture categories...but I don't see why we can't allow folks to expand into other areas here if they'd like.

Are you a geek...categorize yourself!

English Brass Bands
expanding to other areas - Aircraft pre 1915 (when they were held together by glue and string)

The WWII geek.

Although I do have confidance problems so I dont know how good I'd be.

A couple of people and I formed a "Meet the Geeks" type of club at our school last year. We spent weeks trying to find my specialty before we began competitions, but it couldn't be found. At our first met I declared that my specialty was, "How the heck did she know that!” I had no clue to "obvious" questions, but was able to fluke with the little ones. I was finally characterized as being the person that could answer the questions pertaining to foreign languages, word roots, and the arts.

I always considered myself as a geek until I joined that group-- we all did. However, when we started doing competitions we found out that we couldn't be more wrong. We were put against people that fit every stereotype of a geek. It was bad and we were pummeled.

If I was to characterize myself now, I think my specialty would still be word roots, although I don’t think that is anything special. I guess I wouldn’t make it on the show anytime soon.

Heck, I'm so smart and knowledgable.
I can do anything!

Can someone please expand this website to allow for LordAndry's ego to breathe !!

If I had to choose a specialised subject...it would either be X-Men Past and Present or Babylon 5 !!

Nascar and Kevin Smith movies are the only things I know. However, when I was in 12th grade my friends and I joined the quiz bowl team. Besides us, there was only 2 other members. When our first competition came we made a mockery of the whole quiz bowl arena. Each answer we didn't know, we'd ring in and make some derogatory remark about the rival school. The more amzing thing was the fact that my friends and I are smart but are also the kids who would do the most insane things. We were two cliques in one. Even more amazing was the fact that we won our first four meetings before getting into a fight with some of the kids at the college who filmed our competitions. We were disqualified and gave a bad name to our school. It was still one of the best things I have ever done. Sort of.
