^^Yeah, who'da thunk getting laid in the back of a minivan would pay off someday.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but it paid off back then too.
Although I think I should get extra credit as it was a van (NOT a mini-van) with a cool custom paint job on a South Florida beach. After smoking some dope.
150ish give or take (I lost count, since math isn't one of my geekish qualities. Maybe 130, right around there). I didn't count playing casual games of football or basketball, since I think they assume a bit more talent there (didn't feel right taking off 150 for playing pick up basketball).
I'd probably say a minor geek either way, which I can live with

Glad to see that score: At -435, I was starting to wonder.
Some odd questions/scoring there...
225 here. If the cool car in question was a 2005 Renault Megane [ - everyone] then that tucks me underneath the radar at 175. But what can I say? My knowledge of BASIC otherwise tips me over the edge. 
I probably ought to add 1000 points for being a Chris Morris fan.
By the way, I don't believe in the zen of Tony Hawk, but I do believe in the zen of Tony Hawks.

Uber geek at 725, though I drop down to true geek if I include wrestling as a popular sport... but in fairness it's probably just as geeky these days.
It didn't start too well. I used to paint miniatures when I was at university and it was the first steps to having my own business. And I met my ex on the internet... well, we first talked on the internet but she saw me perform and added me to MySpace. So unfortunatly it counts

I have to dispute the results of anyone who actually went through the very geekish process of calculating all of that and then got a negative score. 
I got a -10,000 for not participating. Suck it, nerds!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to posting on a Star Trek board.

What exactly is the 21 club? I've always known it as a former speakeasy, not as slang for a sex act. haha

I'll second that!
I got a negative score and was disappointed too! I don't think alcohol abuse and some sex should make someone not a geek!
Not sure why I bothered, I questioned a lot of the points, and drugs definitely do not make people cool..but even without deducting for any of the drug related questions, I scored a 45. Most of the geekier things I did as a teenager, with a few in my 20s.
Update, I actually missed a 50 pt deduction, so I am -5.
