on the board...
- HoverboardKid
- You get upset when you have to skip a small scene in BTTF
because it's too intense for your younger sister (It was the scene where Doc
gets shot). (Ed: What's so intense about it?
I've been watching BTTF since age 4 (And Star Wars since age 2; my father was
trying to brainwash me into becoming a fan, see?) ... though admittedly I might
have been too young then to know what was going on.)
- I've Got A Pit Bull Now
- You multitask posting and looking vocabulary words up
- Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- Zack
- When your screensaver keeps crashing your computer, you think
about what screen savers are meant to be for: "Save the screen! Thirty
years ago lightning struck that screen and it hasn't worked since..." Yes,
I know, lame. IKIABW this happens.
- Patchie
- I went skiing today with my friend, and it takes a long time
to get to the top; I sat there and drove her nuts by quoting BTTF. And we were
looking at the map (we were at 'Snowbasin' and one of the mountains was named
'Needles'.
- Jamie McFly
- I watched Cyberchase and when Hacker (voice of Christopher
Lloyd) says the words 'Time machine' just like Doc would, I couldn't help but
grin like an idiot.

Gale says they are too young to be a classic."
- Zack
- You buy all of the characters' entire wardrobes
- DocBrown 1985
- You'd rather create a new BTTF-related topic rather than use an existing one
- Zack
- You kiss someone and say, "...felt like I was kissing my brother... (Ladies only, please. That'd be wrong for the boys doing that! -gag, gag-)
- You and your brother try to fit the lines in from the movie to what you're doing. far out!
- Herschel Brown 1931

- Zack
- You try to talk to the 3-year-old you babysit about BTTF.
- Jamie McFly
- You make your one-year-old watch BTTF and swear blind to all your friends that she can say, "Doc!" (Ed: So you're another one of those parents who try to brainwash their poor kids into becoming fans of certain movies...)
- LonePineKath
- You think it's cool because you live near a Hill Side Dr. And think that it's cool because it sounds like Riverside, but with the 'Hill' for Hill Valley.

- Jamie McFly
- You see a girl wearing a shirt that says, "You know you're obsessed with yearbook..." on the front, and you think of this topic, and then you think how cool it would be if we all had T-shirts with some key 'YKYABW...' ideas on the back, like, "...you get pulled over for going 88, and then tell the officer that you were trying to travel through time" (a popular one).
- Lil' White Dove
- Today at Y.Ws our leader was going over the 'Strength for the Youth' pamphlet, and one phrase she said she said caught my mind, "Don't ever sit in parked cars with boys...' Me and my sister just stared at each other nearly laughing; we started whispering the whole Marty/Lorraine scene to each other. We got shushed though.
- Jamie McFly
- If people go out of their away to avoid wearing Nike products when they know they are going to see you just so they don't have to hear "NeeKay? What is that..." Well, you get the picture.

- Jamie McFly
- You claim your phone is "BTTF themed" because you picked the ringtone called "Tick tick" and the screen saver of the boy and girl dancing (pretending they're Lorraine and George - they're not, because the girl's skirt is too short). I ought to program in a real BTTF ringtone. I would if the composer function supported triplets. (Ed: You don't actually need triplets. I programmed the BTTF theme into my phone substituting the triplets for the closest note in length they were to; it sounds perfectly fine.)
- Patchie
- You sit here for five minutes, thinking of something funny to say...
- Plutoneam
- You hear somebody say the words "Back" or "Future" and look at them to see if they are talkin about BTTF. (Ed: As I said earlier, most of the time they aren't. How to prevent back pains in the future...)
- Coach
- You go to school in Marty's 1985 clothes and get made fun of but enjoy it. Get called McFly and take it as a compliment.

- Zack
- I just stay home and watch the trilogy when I'm sick. Like yesterday. I'm also on the board a lot when sick.
- Just today, I went shopping with my mom and brothers at Sam's Club. There was an electric keyboard there, so I thought, what the heck. I sat down and started playing the theme song from BTTF. Lots of people stopped by me and listened in
amazment, saying, "Back to the Future". It was sort of cool. (Ed: Whee, I should try that sometime...)

- HVStorm55
- Tonight at work, I was on my lunch break when one of the TVs in our store (which is used to promote DirectTV) was tuned into the classic rock station on those strictly music channels (without the picture). Anyway, "Heart of Rock & Roll" came on. I turned it up, sung along, tried to dance to it and pretended to play the instruments.
When it faded out, a few people behind me started clapping. I got all embarrassed for a minute, since I had no idea people were watching (it's kind of tucked away in a corner, plus the store is big). I felt like a cross of Goldie Wilson and Marty (on stage).
