I am a geek over a lot of things. It comes in waves. For a while it was detailed maps of eastern Europe. At another point it was Australian Rules Football. I even have three spring form cake pans of different sizes just in case. I was not mocked when the pumpkin cheesecakes were being rolled out. At various times one simply does not get out as much as one should for a variety of small obsessions. This description of Doctor Who geekery in the Daily Mash sums up this sort of geekery pretty well:

Davies stressed he has little interest in Doctor Who mythology and said obsessive fans should instead try to pinpoint the moment when their lives veered horribly off track. He added: "I'm sick of having to discuss Tardis engineering with people who smell like damp sandwiches. I'm more into designer glasses and phallic symbolism." Davies admitted the latest series will upset fans further as the Doctor travels to 1978 New York to help the Village People write 'YMCA' while being played by an actor who looks like Noel Fielding drawn on an Etch-A-Sketch."

What is so wrong about having no perspective about something or other as long as it is harmless.? Better than joggers grinding their knees in training for crippling ailments in their old age. Or having a sharp stick poked in one's eye. It's better than that for sure. Or like the Annapolis Valley Baptist said of stand up intercourse, could this sort of stuff lead to more dangerous things - which, in the Baptist's case, was dancing.

h/t Pete.
