You Know You're A Backie When... Part 12

(Compiled from the bttf.com message boards)

On to the 12th of Nove... uh, page.

YKYABW... Part 12:

- Every Microsoft Word file appears to you to end in somebody's name. (Ed: Yup, it does.)
- A guy named Christopher parks his siilver VW outside your house and you start suspecting it of being a DeLorean in disguise.
- You look at the sentence above and tthink, "Uh-oh, a VW. Run for it Marty!"
- You wonder why Judge Doom wants to kknock town Toontown to build a freeway. You'd expected him to know that where he was going, he wouldn't need roads.
- You edit your novel-in-progress so aan important event takes place at 10:04pm.
- To you, Frodo Baggins is the kid in the Cafe 80s who says, "You mean you have to use your hands?"
- Patchie

- You associate Dust Busters with BttF!
- Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- You're cleaning the popper at work (at the movies) and scenes from the movies run through your head seamlessly.
- Lil' White Dove

- You and your friends drive out to Puente Hills Mall at 1 in the morning, dressed as Doc and Marty, and re-enact or film the mall scene
- DocBrown 1985

- When you have to fill out this paper about you in class, and it asks you when in the day you were born; you start bragging to everyone that you were born at 1:21 am. (I really was!)
- Jamie McFly

- You go out and buy a pair of "granny boots" cuz they're identical to the ones Clara wore at the end of part 3. (I couldn't resist)
- Doc's Mistress

- You get all excited when they have signs that say "The Power of Love" up at Parisian's advertising Valentine's stuff!
- Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- When you see some silly 'Bff' braclet at the mall you actaully see the word 'biff' or 'bttf'
- Jamie McFly

- I was riding the bus home from school and when I got off, I was crossing the road and [the bus driver?] honked the horn and I said, "Hey, I'm walking here!"; when I was walking down the road just the thought of it made me laugh.
- Herschel Brown 1931

- Once me and my sister and friends were walking home from school and this car sped down the street nearly hitting us, I yelled, "Crazy drunk driver! I'm walking here!" So it's a mix between two phrases but it fit.
- Jamie McFly

- There's a Weird Al Yankovic album track/original (i.e. not a parody) that suddenly struck me as very BTTF-ish this evening. "That Boy Could Dance" from In 3-D is the story of 'Jimmy the Geek' that Al knew in school and whom everybody laughed at, nobody liked, and who did everything wrong... BUT he could dance really well. That was his ticket to popularity and fame. There's a line: "Now he owns half of Montana, they all call him Diamond Jim." This reminded me of the Paradox script, where Evil Biff "owned half the state" in 2015-A. The nerd becoming cool, of course reminds me of George.
- Blind Spot

- You make crossovers with BTTF and another cartoon, movie, comic, etc...(I'm trying to do a Garfield/BTTF Crossover) Should be fun!
- Herschel Brown 1931

- You get sad when your number's not 88 in the Beauty Walk
- Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- You absent-mindedly scribble BTTF on your desk and get in trouble with the teacher.
- When I was walking home from school these boys from school wanted to have a snowball fight; I didn't want to cause I wasn't in a good mood. They said, "Come on! Ya chicken?" I turned around, said Marty's classic line and threw a snowball right at him.
- Jamie McFly

- You keep checking Total Axess even if it hasn't been updated in years....
- Zack

- You let the kid you're babysitting stay up until his parents come home just because he wants to watch BTTF. (The kid missed his parents, and his dad totally understood when they got home, so it was cool. And now we can watch Parts II and III the next time I babysit.) I felt kinda bad for the kid because he didn't understand everything that was happening, but he just liked to watch the movie. I think the two Martys at the end of Part I confused him the most. And he didn't really understand why Marty was so surprised at his improved family upon his return to 1985. He also didn't understand why it was called Back to the Future if Marty didn't go to the future, but I was able to explain that part to him.
- Lil' White Dove

- I was babysitting late one night and we were watching BTTF as well; the parents came home right at the credits. I've showed the movie to the kids twice, always the first one (before I got my DVDs) and they actually liked it. But they know about my obsession and think I'm weird because of it and refuse to watch Part 2 or 3. I'll have to strap them down to a chair sometime and make them watch it.
- Jamie McFly

- I was in Willowbrook Mall (Wayne, NJ) shopping with my boss one snowy night and, in the Gap, I saw down vests that looked EXACTLY like Marty's.
- You're writing "Early Edition" fanfiic and cannot resist using the line "Hey... this date, this is tomorrow's newspaper" or using the time 10:04.
- giggles

- You log on immediately after seeing that cool superbowl commercial by AOL concerning time travel and post the link so others can see it too.
- Doc's Mistress

- You put a big picture of Marty in your athletic locker at school. I guess that if it gets me excited for track practice, that's all that matters.
- Lil' White Dove

- You start emulating Marty McFly's style, as in his awkward walking... the movement of his hands when he speaks... etc.
- Zack

- While you're online to research some stuff about Elvis, when you go to type in 'Elvis' you accidently write 'Marty' because you're thinking about BTTF.
- Jamie McFly

- When you rename the "Crumplebottom Park" in Sims DownTown to "Von Braun Park", honoring "Elias Von Braun, SimNation's beloved veternarian and father of local inventor Dr. Emmett Brown." (Elias and his job is part of my fan fiction. He's in "Teen Doc," which I'm currently working on.) I also plan to later rename other places to reflect my BTTF obsession with the Sims. (Ed: There's a Sims DownTown? Ooh.)
- Hot_For_Doc

- You listen to "I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar and play the scene with Marty walking downtown into "H*ll" valley in 1985-A...
- Zack

- You want to do every english project or art project with bttf.
- Jamie McFly

- You almost or actually do ask a kid at school if he's a BTTF fan simply because he says, "I'm on my way." (Hey, come on, he said it just like Marty!)
- Lil' White Dove

- I am writing a cool research paper on Elvis; everytime I write the word 'Rock 'n Roll', Marty's voice rings through my head. I also think of our one and only Whoa...Rock 'n Roll
- Jamie McFly

- You name your bowling team in gym class the Pinheads. (Ed: What did they think of that?)
- Lil' White Dove

- I was in Geometry, some kid started singing 'Beat it'; after a while the whole class was singing. I felt like I was in the cafe' 80's.
- I was in the Seminary Building todayy playing Back to the Future on the piano while waiting for everyone to come in. I asked my teacher is he knew what song it was. He thought it was the Saturday's Warrior theme song. My friend (who thinks she's a fan of the movies) started saying, "Brother Severing looks like that one kid on the movie!" I'm like, "Marty?" "Yeah!" she said. We went up to our teacher and she told him she looked like Marty. He was like "Cool!" I asked him if he ever saw the movie and he said yes, and asked him if he liked it and he said, "Heck ya!" I yelled, "You rock!" The whole class was in the room by now and were staring at me. He really does look like Marty. But older.
- Jamie McFly

- Today in school my friend Brad was talking about Bentleys and how he would have to be rich to get one, so I said, "Oh right, that's rich! You're gonna make me rich?" and he just kinda looked at me fo a while and started laughing cause he didn't know what I was talking about.
- Then later in school I saw my friendd Jimmy trying to open my locker so I went up to him and said, "Hey, what are you doin?" in my Biff voice. It was funny for me of course, but then I shoved him into my locker and we both started laughing.
- FireTrails

- Your 3rd period/3rd hour teacher asks you what your 5 most valuable items are... and you mention your BTTF DVDs... (Ed: For me, it's my recorder.)

- Everytime someone calls for your dad you have to say, "Dad it's for you" just like Marlene does.

- Lil' White Dove

- I was at Young Womens' tonight and we were making Valentines for our Missionaries. I asked what one of their names were; my leader said it was Clint. I was like, "Eastwood, Clint Eastwood." She just laughed at me, so did everyone else, then the conversation turned to western movies.
- You get excited over your first BTTFF date..
- Jamie McFly

- You watched 'The Cattle Queen of Montana' starring Barbara Stanwyck and Ronald Reagan just because it's connected to BTTF. (I really did, I usually like old movies, but this one was so boring I feel asleep)
- When you hear of someone called Lorrraine, whenever refering to them you say 'Lorrrraaaaaiiiinnneee!', like Biff did in 1985A. (My brother and I always do that) Whenever its time to eat you say to everyone, "stop fiddling with that thing and come in here and eat your dinnuuurrrrrrrrr" (again, my brother and I always do that too).
- Neverseen Purple Undys B4

- You try to do "script play" as a topic!
- Herschel Brown 1931

- While you're bored in your math class, you get a calculator and start with 0 + 1 then you keep pressing enter to speed it up to 88 while the BTTF3 train scene is going on your mind; ever 25 miles you make it go 7 more faster as the explosions, and at 88 you put -1 and press it really fast and try getting it to 0 as when Marty is back at 1985... Then after a few seconds on 0, you make your calculator go up in the air, as if it were hit by a train... ahh good times... cant wait till tomorrow!
- I am your Density

- You get excited when you have to ring up 3 pairs of shoes at work and the total is 9.79 and you think of when Biff legalized gambling in Hill Valley in 1979A

- isthistakenyet?

- You have been on this board for exactly 1 year and 1 day! "My God, has it been that long? Things have certainly changed around here. I remember when this was all farmland as far as the eye could see. Old Man Peabody... owned all of this. He had this crazy idea about breeding pine trees."
- AlternateStrickland

- When you fall asleep thinking of BTTF.
- I was just on the board, thinking off Part 2 when all of a Sudden 'Beat it' started playing on the TV.
- Jamie McFly

- You go into McDonalds and accidently order a McFly instead of a McChicken Sandwich! (Ed: Wait till they do what you ask and give you a burger full of flies.)
- isthistakenyet?

- You are on another forum talking about "If there's one thing you could have" and you say, "a time travelling DeLorean" and another person says to your post, "make sure you get the model with Mr Fusion (and ideally hover conversion as well) - might be a ***** getting that much plutonium just to do a little time travel " and you say, "Yeah, I'll have Doc Brown build one for me

- Jamie McFly

- You noticed that Diamond Jim is also the name of the Tannen in the baseball episode of the animated series...
- HVStorm55

- Today I was at the doctor and I had to get a blood test. I'm scared to death of needles. It took like 5 minutes and I just thought about BTTF the whole time and didn't think about it. Sounds baby-ish but just shows that BTTF can take your mind off the bad stuff.
- Jamie McFly

- You decide that Physics is a great subject because a quantity in a problem is 1640 kg.
- Lil' White Dove

- Our middle school does history notebooks (4 entries on a certain time period) in 8th grade (I'm in) and the years go from 1865-1900 and Part 3 pops in your mind. 1885 - The shootoff between Buford and Marty!
- Herschel Brown 1931

- You intend to visit www.humanclock.com at 10:04pm just to see if another backie has posted the obvious picture. (So far I've always been too late.)

- Jamie McFly

- You listen to TNT by AC/DC and you think of Marty when he reacts to being called chicken.
- Zack

- People start to tease you about your obsession. Today in Seminary I said something and my friend Jace was joking around with me and he said, "We didn't ask for your opinion, why don't you just go back to the future!" and then started laughing. I'm glad though because he actually likes the movie.
- You start to daydream of BTTF when yyour math answer ends up as 1.21
- Jamie McFly

- When you're sad, and you're writing a really hard essay, you look at the BTTF 3 poster on your binder and sMiLe~!
- Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- I just got a 88 on my science test recently (throughout the year I also got more 88s on English and Math tests). And one of the choices I got right was one about time... it said 10:04 PM. Freaky huh?
- Eastwood McFly

- Hehe, I smile everytime I open my athletic locker because I've got a pic of Marty in there. Yesterday, I closed my locker to leave, and a girl was like, "Oh, I was just gonna ask you who's in your locker!" So I showed her, and I'm not sure if she knew that it was Marty or just MJF, but she said she really liked him in BTTF. Today, when I was getting ready to leave, she told me that there's a senior in her gym class who (supposedly) looks just like MJF and she's going to find out his name for me.
- Lil' White Dove

- When your Mom mentions Mapel Street you think, "A block past Mapel"
-Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- Yesterday I overheard this girl talking to her friends in class. She said, "I'm thirsty, I want some ice water"; I laughed and said to myself, "If you want some water you better go dunk your head in the horse troft outside". She barely heard at me and looked at me but went on talking to her friends.
- Jamie McFly

- Something upsets you and you become foul-mouthed... "D*mn! D*mn d*mn!" And then you recall Doc saying the same thing and add apropos of nothing, "Where is that kid?"
- Patchie

- You wait for the Cubs to win the world series in 2015, hoping and hoping....
- HoverboardKid

- Tonight, my mom and I were making a chocolate cake when I noticed that one of our small vanilla bottles was empty. We have a huge bottle of vanilla in our 'liquor cabinet', so in the process of getting it out, I moved all of the bottles and took a big bottle of Jim Beam out and set it on the counter by the 'cabinet'. After I filled it up, my mom went to put the big bottle of vanilla back, and saw the Jim Beam. She asked me if I had been into it (joking), so I told her, "I stole it from the old lady's liquor cabinet!" She thought it was really funny. But now that I think of it, I could've also said, "Don't be such a square, mom! Anybody who's anybody drinks!"
- Lil' White Dove

- The movies start to put you to sleep, I watched it at about 7 last night and woke up the next morning. (Ed: You fell asleep so early?)
- Jamie McFly

- Well, I just watched the movie Open Range, and YKYABW you think about Part III throughout the whole movie.
- Lil' White Dove
