Earn geek cred by doing these 15 things

I've read many books from Clarke, Asimov Bradbury, Heinlein, Harlan Ellison and Ben Bova along with many more others, I had a collection of 1553 Sci-Fi books I've read, but that only makes you a Sci-Fi Fan. The list is missing things like NASA, Computer (programming) boioks, UFO books, and Star Trek. Other small things are a understanding of how new tech things work, And ASCII 7bit TTY ticker tape holding the listings of over 30 programs and many databases to a game or text adventure ofRescue Princess Lea from the Death Star.

And watching the British shows Dr. Who, Space 1999 and UFO are extra credit.

Then their is one thing left out, thinking sex meant love, not sex means reproduction and love means romance. This forgotten fact is why Geeks are labeled as Virgins.

This was long before the Concept of Area 51 ever really became public, and even before my brother who was the driver, started working for Lockheed Martian, or at the time Martian Marietta. At the time I was reading many UFO books. And I had not known of Area 51 but had read of UFO's spotted around there. We had just spent 3 weeks camping at the botton of the Grand Canyon, and going to visit relatives before returning to Denver. On our way back we also visited relatives that lived by White Sands and Roswell. I labeled our return trip a UFO pilgrimage. And also a time where you said UFO in public they started having a strait jacket near by.

Yup, even stayed at the Lil Ale-E-Inn; got watched by the guys in the trucks; took pix of Steve's mailbox and the Extra Terrestrial Highway sign. It was too cool!
