    geek hiker? what you only read comics about hiking? only go hiking in WoW?
    Maybe you just meant 'Hikers'?

    This is great fro us geek auto driver when we go out to our geek movies and enoyy being geek popcorn eaters. It is also great from Geek knitters so they can find their geek knitting shop.

    Stop throwing geek in front of everything. You just sound like someone more concerned with letting everyone know what subset of cultures more then relevant information.

    I wonder, would this be good for Goth hiklers? how about goth geek hikers? or geek goth hikers?

    OK bad example because Goths like being lost, like there soul adrift on an ocean of apathy. heh,
