top 10 geekiest Hobbies!

[Spinning]

I thought this was funny It was on another site I visit! LOL!

Wave Magazine has released a list of the top 10 geekiest hobbies and
scrapbooking has secured the #8 spot. Can you believe it? Here's the
list:

10. Comic books
9. Roleplaying games (i.e. Dungeons and Dragons)
8. Scrapbooking
7. Star Wars
6. Vampirism
5. Collectible card games (i.e. Magic the Gathering or Yu-gi-oh
4. Everquest
3. Star Trek
2. Furries/Plushies (dressing up like stuffed animals)
1. Live Action Roleplaying

8. Scrapbooking
Public Humiliation: 86.2%
Most people tend to avoid scrapbookers in an effort to prevent their
photo from being pasted between a floral border along with a word
bubble shouting, "Are we having fun yet!" Scrapbookers have an
insatiable hunger to date and catalogue precious moments, and many
fear that these keepsakes are being collected to one day be used in
an evil plan to flood the world with vomit.
Damage to Sex Life: N/A
People who make scrapbooks do not have sex organs like you and me.
As required by the Code of the Scrapbookers, after the completion of
their first book of cherished memories, surgeons replace their
genitalia with paste dispensers.
Distinguishing Characteristics: You'll know these people because
they're always leading a small parade of their offspring in karate,
ballet, scout or soccer uniforms. And according to shocking facts
learned from these people's sweatshirts, their children THINK
THEY'RE AN ATM!

I don't think so! I would say the other 9 do sound geeky. But scrapping? NOT!!!

Well, just call us the geek family. My daughter and her friends play D and D, my son went through a phase of the collectible card games; I guess all that is left is for my husband to become a star wars/star trek geek or a vampire!

Vampirism...a hobby? Really?

I can think of some geekie hobbies, never thought Scrapbooking would be one of the geekest.

Maybe it's like visiting someone and having to watch the video of their Wedding again. I thought friends liked being added to my Geek Book and checking out my newest additions.

No wonder my company list is down, and when I show up to visit with a bag, they pretend like their not home. All the time I thought it was DH! It's me the Scrapbook Geek!

Interesting, I may have to purchase a pair of Spook Ears to wear when visiting with my Scrapbook of Geekie Sayings.

I guess !'ll have to ponder this geekness a while, before I flood my family and friends with my Newest Geek Book of the Mouse.

Had to laugh at Everquest.......my BIL spends a ton of time playing it (he's 17), and has over the last couple of years, but he earns characters (I guess you have to win them???) then somehow sells them on message/trading boards and has made over $2000 doing so!

Steph--geeky scrapbooker

I can't stop laughing. I always knew deep down that I was a geek, but now I guess I am proud to be certified.

I'll have to tell my DH he needs to start selling characters! You don't win characters but it takes quite a bit of work to get them to certain levels. He has some at whatever the highest level is and mentioned once that he can get a new one to a pretty high level quickly because of his other characters.

Definately a geeky game and lots of time spent.

Although that's not the first time I've heard that. I was watching a sitcom once and they were making fun of this "nerdie" girl because she scrapbooked!! I was very offended!! Didn't stop me from scrapping though. If scrapbooking is Geekie, THEN I'M HAPPY TO BE A GEEKIE SCRAPBOOKER!!!

 

[disneysnowflake]

Hmmm. I wonder what the person who made up this list does?
If scrapbooking, playing online games, collecting items, etc. is geeky then what is "cool"?

The person who made that list probably a stoner.

 

[FantasticDisFamily]

Ok, somehow I don't see how an interest in sci fi (Star Wars/Trek - which by the way is how I met my DH!), scrapbooking or most of the others can be included with the Plushies thing. But then again I may be influenced by the CSI episode that had that at the center of the crime...just plain sicko!

But if scrapping is geeky, then count me in with the geeks.

tell that to the people making the money in the BILLION dolaar industry!

 

[Wiggle]

But #2 is the one that is so funny: dressing up like stuffed animals??

 

[FantasticDisFamily]

I thought so too when I first heard the term and asked what it meant. The dressing up part is weird enough...but that CSI episode was just plain beyond comprehension. It is what happens after they get into those costumes.

DH (a cop BTW) said it wasn't made up either. Ok, let your imagination run a little wild, cuz I think if I say much more the censors will cut this post!

Hope I didn't go over any lines here!

Shows what they know!

 

[Wiggle]

Hey, Deb, my coworker said there was a Jerry Springer (or something) episode on the plushies. Say no more!!

Disneysnowflake - "stoner" - I haven't heard that term in years! That gets me thinking....our Bunco theme this month is Homecoming. Maybe I'll go as the stoner. :rotfl

 

[FantasticDisFamily]

Jerry Springer and Plushies?!?!?!?!

I don't think I EVEN wanted to know that!

Deb

 

[MickeyWanaBe]

oooo, I'm a geek too! And my mom must be one of the head geeks...she is a CM consultant.

 

[Limmer]

Too funny wtpclc! That was my first thought when I read that too!

I LOVE TO SCRAPBOOK!!!

Now, with that said, I used to think it was the geekiest thing that ever happened in the world.

Then I tried it and realized that I like it and it is a very personal thing for me. I don't care if anyone else likes the books that I make, I like them and I think of them as something that I can take with me to the nursing home in 50 years or so and remember that my life did count for something, the love and happiness that I created while making the pictures to put into my geekie scrapbooks!
