I think i'm about 6-7 of them.

That rocks.  Too bad I am geek light in about half the categories.  (Meaning I like but not love and have some interest in it.)

If we ignore geek requirements as Cosplay (except for like, Cosplay), I could be considered:
Bargain Bin
Trek
Jedi
Nintendo
Indy
Portable
Potter
Apple
Comics
Robot
CCG
MMO
Podcast
Film
Webcomics
Gadget
Book
Transformeres
Lego
Anime
Collectible
History
Warhammer
TV

That's a lot of sad.
Though to be fair, I would never rate my geekiness in any 1 category higher than a 7 out of 10, except for maybe Robots at an 8.  (It would be higher but toy robots are too fucking expensive, even the ones at Wal Mart.  I will admire die cast Soul of Chogokin awesomeness from afar.  Though if anyone wants to give me an Iron Gear or Ideon from that line I wouldn't refuse it.  And I would be your friend.)

However I will be larping this spring (a friend wants me to.  So I will try it once.  Then I can REALLY hate it!), so I can almost hit that.  I can't program or am good with Electronics so I don't get to be those, and RC costs too much for something that runs for 8 minutes then needs to be recharged.

I don't really "geek out" on anything except Rock, Sports, and Movies. I used to be a Drama Geek, but that's just gay really. Not geeky.

I have no idea what CCG is. Maybe I'm that too, I don't know.

I'm only truly the food geek, but I try to moonlight as a rock geek.

Voodoo & Sauce - a blog.

There needs to be a giant Pop Culture Geek to lord over all of them.

With a little effort you could probably track down a photo of someone for every single one of those types.  It would be about 1000 times cooler.

But then you might run into the occasional "hot geek" and it undermines the whole thing.

Yes, but normally these are hybrid types, usually involving some sort of non-geek designation. Or, at the very least, they tend to be on the periphery of geekdom.
