EDIT:

I remember some guys from my highschool that used to have swordfight in the woods and they had their wooden swords confiscated by the police. I don't know if that's a common occurance or not, but I thought it was pretty funny when I heard about it.

Amateur radio. Check HERE. Then buy yourself the top-o-the-line $10,000 radio. Of course, you could get started for at little at $300 or so, but where's the fun in that?

Easy, collect Star Wars figures.

Figure out which ones are rare and when the local toy stores get their new shipments in. Then hang out at the toy store before it opens with the rest of the geeks so you can rifle through the figures looking for the right one. Visit every toy store in a 30 mile radius at least once a week, etc......

Loads of fun.

Easy: Don't get laid, stop showering, live in your parents basement and start reading comic books for more than entertainment value.

Done.

When I was a kid I always loved playing Lazer Tag around the neighborhood and in the woods. A group of adults playing it would be uber-geeky and lots of fun. Not in those lamo lazer tag buildings where you have to pay to play either.

Hey! I do that! The differences in water repellency between slate shingles and asphalt shingles is quite amazing. For example, did you know that the coeffiecnt of friction on a slate shingle is proportional to the temperature of said shingle...

Really? If that's true, that's actually pretty cool. Er...warm.

Star trek or Star Wars convention has got to be up there on the geek meter.
