Ahhh, I know this one! Geeks are those dudes in carnivals who eat bugs and small animals while they're still alive, like The Enigma (think I saw him on Penn & Teller). So yeah, they probably bite the heads off chickens too.
I used to be a pretty big film geek when I was at school (pre-college), mostly cos I had nothing better to do with my time. I don't have the time to watch many films these days though. I try to keep up with Asian horrors and thrillers when I can, so I guess I still have geekish tendencies.
