I don't have much in the way of traditional scifi/fantasy geek credentials. Comic books do nothing for me. Well, I've seen all the Star Trek and went to the German premier of Star Trek 8 as a Trill. Anyways.
Wife and I are theoretical physicists (hey, that has got to count for something) so we understand all the boards on Big Bang theory.
We had a Darwin/Dinosaur themed wedding. We got fancy wine glasses with engraved Feynman diagrams from our publications as a wedding gift.
When we visit cities with Natural History museums, we make a point of seeing all the Quaggas and Megatheriums we can.
Once I got drunk shitless from juniper schnaps on a school trip to the alps, and to prove that I was sober, I programmed an alcohol tester on the spot on my programmable pocket calculator. I woke up with a big penis drawn on me forehead and arm, so I guess it was not too persuasive. But the program ran just fine.
I was into electronics since I was 9 yo or so.
I'd call myself a music nerd, though it is difficult to say what exactly that entails. It's more like an attitude. I read about music theory and dabble in composition when I'm not reading science. We go to metal festivals whenever possible (not often enough)
