Person who uses the most Netspeak: Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

YKYABW... Part 11:

- I was watching 'Forever Young' and just kept yelling out about how things reminded me of Back to the Future. And about baby Elijah Wood playing the video game kid. My dad was sick of it.
- Jamie McFly

- You wait to make post 1004 on this topic
- You make up weird songs from differeent holidays about it
- You ask for clocks for Christmas insstead of other things
- You've been considering renaming youur Celebi just because it doesn't really have a BTTF-ized name yet.
- Doc's Celebi

- So many people know of your obsession, your piano teacher calls to tell you that Part 3 is on TV. (Ed: Nice piano teacher you got there.)
- Jamie McFly

- Everything, in all 1004 posts, applies to you.
- Frasier Crane

- When your parents tell you that you're all going to another city to shop tomorrow you say, "When did this happen? Why am I always the last one to know about these things?"
- Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- I started laughing because when we went to the mall my mom said, "I remember when this all farmland." I started laughing and my mom thought it because I thought she was old. I told her she was quoting Bttf.
- Jamie McFly

- You start singing Back in Time and you have the song stuck in your head because of Lil' White Dove's siggy
- DocsGirl

- Our new teacher in class today asked us to say our names and something about us. I said that I was obsessed with Back to the Future. People just stared at me like I was crazy. The teacher laughed though.
- When you start writing your name youu're tempted to put 'McFly' at the end.
- Jamie McFly

- Bullies remind you of Biff and wimps remind you of George
- Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- You use dialogue from the movie in everday speech. I can't count how many times I've done this.
- Lil' White Dove

- In art we get to make moziacs and I convinced my teacher to let me put letters in my design. I am determined to write 'BTTF'. It will be cool. What color of tile should I use? Red?
- Jamie McFly

- I have a similar one except I was the teacher and I told my students that they HAVE to watch BTTF. I almost invited my whole class over to show them BTTF in my house. (the school would never just let me show it - it's not 'educational' enough) so I wanted to get my class to my house... have a BTTF party marathon
- My name in Yahoo is Marty McFly and whenever I send e-mail, family, friends, anyone on the net, co-workers, even my boss can see my e-mail name is Marty
- you know who

- The past two days you've worn your hair like Marty's in BTTF Part one and today in 5th hour this kid said, "Nice hairdo; you look like an 80s freak."
- Zack

- When I'm a teacher I want to show my kids Bttf, or at least tell them all about it.
- Jamie McFly

- You walk around school like Marty in BTTF Part 2 and your friend says, "You walk around like you're paranoid". Then I looked behind me (another classic MJF move) and she's like, "Don't worry, no one is behind you." (Ed: So THAT'S where that look-behind-you-as-you-walk thing came from. I'd been wondering.)
- Zack

- You take the little BTTF.com sticker off of the box from your Sunstar DeLorean that you got from the online store and stick it on your wallet. Whenever someone sees it they think that it is like a pilot wings sticker or something.
- FireTrails

- When your friend walks into the middle of the road and narrowly avoids getting hit, you yell to the car, "Crazy drunk driver! Don't drive tranked!"
- You drag your sister to take you to the music store to buy a new copy of BttF because you lost the other one.
- Jamie McFly

- This is bad... when you get into a car accident and you smash up your car and you can't help but think of the scene where George and Biff are arguing about the blind spot
- You go to Kristen's site and you gett really sad because you click on the link for HVC#3 and it's not up yet (yes, I really did get sad!)
- DocsGirl

- You tell your teacher how hot you think MJF was in 1985 by means of a journal we do every few weeks. (It's fun to talk about him in French! lol)
- Lil' White Dove

- When folding the jeans at your work, you try to figure out which style Marty wore.
- Time After Time

- You start to walk like Old Biff without even realizing it (that costume is getting to my head).
- Blind Spot

- You start saying Marty's lines when you walk home from the bus stop after school. I did this today... I remember saying, "Okay, Jennifer, what if I send it in and they don't like it? What if they say I'm no good? What if they say, "Get out of here kid, ya got no future"? I mean, I just don't think I can think that kind of rejection."
- Zack

- We had to watch another movie in Seminary; the school looked like the clock tower, the diner looked like Lou's Diner. And the whole thing took place in 1955. I was thinking BTTF all the way through.
- Jamie McFly

- You have to read Emily Dickinson's poem "I Like to Watch it Lap the Miles," and you win the little extra credit contest the teacher was having just because of BTTF. I saw the first few lines and thought of the end of Part three. People actually thought I asked the class before me what the answer was!
- You get that same teacher telling yoou that BTTF was on over winter break.
- You get a Little Driving Signs and OOther Stuff handbook in Drivers' Ed. and you keep it in your back pocket like Biff kept the almanac, and now are planning to draw an almanac cover for it.
- In Drivers' Ed, when you're getting shown the simulation room and the teacher mentions that you use the mirrors in there to check your blind spot, you say, "I can't believe you simulate driving without telling me it had a blind spot! I could've been killed!" It's just too bad that nobody gets it.
- Doc's Celebi

- When you talk about density in science you think, "I am your density... I mean, destiny" (Ed: There was once when I actually wrote down 'density' instead of 'destiny', unintentionally too.)
- Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- When you and your sisters are sitting in the kitchen staring at the needs-to-be-set digital clock currenly reading '88:88' you start saying. "88 MPH! "
- Jamie McFly

- The tanning bead timer reminds you of the time circuits...
- Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- I was in the bank today and they had some little card calendar things that you could take. I did what Marty did in Part 2 with Biff's matches. I stared at them, grabbed one, looked at it and as soon as my mom looked at me I shoved it in my pocket.
- Jamie McFly

- You're listening to a song called "Burning Heart" by the 80's rock band Survivor, and get all excited when you hear the following line: ...It's you against you. It's the paradox that drives us all.
The funny thing is I haven't listened to that particular song in a long time. It somehow must've always slipped by me before. I've never known of a song to use that word before, either.
- Blind Spot

- Man, I can't believe that some of you guys are actually up at 3:30 in the morning still posting... at 3:30 I was still at work... from 5:00... man, and I thought I was obsessed!
- DocsGirl

- Hey, I was up at 3 in the morning posting once. Insomnia...
- Jamie McFly

- I like to stay up until 1:30 or 2 sometimes when I post, but usually it's because I'm talking to Doc's Mistress or Matthew Campbell. A while ago, I think in November, I stayed up until 4 a few times posting and talking to Shandy.
- A while ago, Gina said that she blusshes and turns away when she sees Doc greet Clara at the town festival when he looks at her/the camera. Well, lately, pictures of Marty have been having that effect on me. My mom came into my room the other night, and I have this picture of Marty on my desk, and she was like, "So is he your idol now?" I replied with an embarrassed, "Well... not really..." (I was trying to get her to leave). She said, "It's okay, he's pretty good looking."
- You're typing a paper for English cllass and when you go to type the word "strict," it's only instinct to spell it like "strick" as if you're going to write "Strickland."
- Lil' White Dove

- ...but you still do it all next yearr. (Ed: YOU HAVE THEIR ADDRESSES? *hyperventilates* WHERE? Give me!)
- Frasier Crane

- Your mom gets up on the toilet to fix the bathroom fan, and you think about how Doc thought up the flux capacitor.
- You get odd urges to huggle your neww stuffed Einstein you got in Florida.
- You wear your Docette2015 (sans wig)) to Florida on your birthday. (USFDoc was out sick that week, though.)
- Hot_For_Doc

- You play Cluedo on your computer and one of the computer players always has to be Professor Plum (you cant help it you always love to be Miss Scarlet) and you get upset when Prof. Plum is the murderer because Christopher Lloyd played Prof. Plum in the Cluedo movie
- DocsGirl

- All your art projects are associated with BttF.
- Jamie McFly

- Today this dude had his Voc. book rolled up and in his back pocket - it looked just like how the almanac looks when it's in Biff's back pocket. The Voc. Book was red too. When I saw this I thought, "Get a safe."
- Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- You find yourself playing Johnny B. Goode on the air guitar whilst walking down a populated street (Ed: Air guitar. Whee. Somehow, that always makes me think of Bill and Ted instead.)

- Jamie McFly

- Your friend says she is the coolest person in the world and then you say, "NO! MARTY MCFLY IS!" and she stops responding and then you say, "Hello, hello, anybody home?"
- Zack

- You realize that now whenever you say, "Huh?" you say it exactly like Marty does in Part I after Lorraine says, "Sure, I'd love to park!" Didn't even try to do that one; it just happened.
- Lil' White Dove

- You spend over 10 bucks getting hair gels and the like, just so your frizzy hair can look like MJF/Marty's.
- Blind Spot

- Every time you hear the group Run DMC you think of a DeLorean on the track team.
- FireTrails

- You purposely drive your Jeep in and out of Burger King drive-thru's waiting for some kid on a skateboard to "hold-on" for a ride
- You hang out by the local high schoool offering kids with skateboards rides with your Jeep.
- OuttaTyme

- When you werein a bar last night and The Power of Love came on and you screamed, "Yes, I love this song, it's from BTTF!
- DocsGirl

- You listen to Run Like **** by Pink Floyd and imagine Marty skateboarding from Biff's gang or hoverboarding from 1955 Biff or running from Buford... "Run run run run..."
- Zack

- At work this evening, it wasn't that crowded, so a manager came up to me and sarcastically said that I had had an exciting evening. So I replied with, "Oh, yes sir." I know, I know, it's minor, but it was still fun to quote!
- Lil' White Dove

- When ever someone pours me water, like at a resturant or something, I think of BTTF Part 3 and am glad it's not dirty or anything.

- Hey y'all! I've been in Gatlinberg this weekend and I had TWO MAJOR BTTF references!
- You watch Audio Adrenaline's guitariist do this crazy-kool stuff on the guitar and eventually he's laying down on the ground playing the guitar; as the other members of the band pick him up he says, "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... but your kids are gonna love it." I was screaming, "Oh My Gosh! THAT IS FROM BTTF!!!! Then one of the youth counselor dudes asked me and my friend if we knew what that was from. I screamed, "BTTF! MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER!" Haha it was awesome.
- Also when DC Talk was out there, theeir guitarist started doing the Chuck Berry move that Marty did when he hopped across the stage (If you don't know what I'm talking about, look at LPK's avatar) I said, "THAT'S A CHUCK BERRY MOVE! MARTY DID THAT IN BTTF!! Haha it was sooo awesome.
- Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- You start to like everything about the 80s (even if you hated it before) and when your friends hate you for always talking about BTTF (like me!)
- sea dance

- You see last year's mayor walk past you in the street almost every single day as she lives nearby, but everytime you see her you hear Doc's voice in your head say, "It's the mayor!" (even though she's a woman and so looks nothing like Hubert!)
- LonePineKath

- When I went to my neighborhood pub, the waitress comes up and says, "What'll it be? The usual?" and I HAD to say, "No, I'm gonna need something a lot stronger than that tonight."

LilWhiteDove1985: from now on, you better watch your back, cuz one of these days, you'll get a housecoat strap on your butt
- You see the (handwritten) word "Drowwn" and at first think it says "Dr. Brown." And then you hear in your head, "Good evening, Dr. Brown!"
- You get all excited when you find ouut that hovercrafts were invented in 1955.

- Crazy, Wild-Eyed Scientist

- I was once flipping through my hymn book looking for a song to play. I saw 'The Power of Prayer' and immediately thought of POL
- Jamie McFly

- You pop out the DVD for BTTF 2 after watching BTTF Part 1, only to watch Part One again with your friend, then watch Part Two, all the way through, even though these happened at 2:00 AM and you were up until 8:00 AM watching the movies.
- Xehirut

- You're reading Early Edition (the TV show about the guy who gets tomorrow's newspaper today) fanfic, and there's a character mentioned named "Emmett Brown". Your first thought? BTTF. Until you see an episode of the show with Emmett Brown, a law student dating Marissa Clark. - giggles

- Your neighbor, Marty, makes you think of Marty McFly everytime you see him.
- Jamie McFly

- At a marathon dance, you're sorely disappointed that the DJ didn't play "The Power of Love" even though he said he would, and he didn't play the version of "Johnny B. Goode" you asked for, either. I even pointed out to him that I gave him the BTTF version, and he laughed and said he saw that, and that he'd play it. Promises are more easily made then kept, I guess. But YKYAB if you sing along as if it were the BTTF version, anyway, and grab a guy to swing dance to it.
