You Know You're A Backie When... Part 15

(Compiled from the bttf.com message boards)

Page 15! LAST PAGE!

YKYABW... Part 15:

- You search an oldie jukebox for Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry, you find it and play it, and you watch as your 2 year old sister starts dancing to it. It was great - I did that at an A&W recently.
- HoverboardKid

- You put on all the movies just to make you feel better.
- Jamie McFly

- When it starts raining, thundering, and lightning you say, "The Storm." hehe!
- Whoa...Rock-n-Roll

- You realize the reason you are looking on E-bay for an car-DVD player is so you can watch BTTF more!!
- CLOCK CAT

- You miss the people who are no longer on the board (Miss Ya Jamie!)
- Roads?HAHA

- BTTF is on shown on TV where you live and you start throwing things at the TV because it missed off all the swearing i.e. "Nooooooo! B*stards!" - just plain "Noooooo!" "When this baby hits 88mph, you're gonna see some serious sh*t!" - "When this baby hits 88mph, you're gonna see some serious stuff!" "Lets see if you b*stards can do can do 90." - "Lets see if you can do 90". How lame does that sound? They missed off all the best parts! So I went upstairs and watched my BTTF DVD instead! Much better.
- Jedi*McFly

- You try and see what number times 1.21 equals 88. Hehe.
- HoverboardKid

- You spend most of the 2 weeks Easter holidays you get on your laptop making a BTTF website and writing fanfic. Really must stop doing that I need to get out more...
- Jedi*McFly

- You name your pet after a character in the films!
- Zack

- You set your homepage to bttf.com right after you set up your computer. And then you put up a BTTF screensaver and background.

- Zack

- Though you have the discs, and you have seen it 100000 times, you decide on whether or not you want to watch Part III on TBS. But, I'm gonna watch it.
- DocBrown 1985

- Yesterday, my track team and I were coming back from St. Louis and we were on coach busses. We started watching BTTF, and stopped to get dinner about half-way through the movie. When my friends and I got back to the bus, the girls had changed the movie to Bring it On. YKYABW you take that as a personal insult, since (YKYABW) I rented it on VHS specifically to watch on the bus, even though I own it on DVD. *Goes off to grumble about chick flicks* On the bright side, (YKYABW) you finish watching the movie at home by watching it during commercials of Part III on TBS.
- Lil' White Dove

- You think of Marty McFly because there's a huge billboard in my town bearing the word 'Marty!' because some guy named Marty Stephens in running for mayor, or counsil, or something like that.
- Stunami Leoah

- You are at the cemetary for your Great Aunt on Easter and you look around at some tombstones around the area that have BTTF dates (out of like around 7, I found one close to it). October 26, 1887...2 Years after the big day

- Roads?HAHA

- Allllrighty then. I just got back from Vegas and YKYABW you'd rather stay in to watch BTTF III on TBS than go out, gamble, and drink all the free beer you can. And speaking of beer, we'd been walking all day in the hot sun, we went into some lame casino, I asked for a Corona but they brought me a Coors Light instead. So I said, "I walk all the way down here and all ya got for me is a light beer?" At least I got a couple of giggles from my hubby and my friend.
- Doc's Mistress

- You bash your head because BTTF is being shown in your town the one day you won't be there (Ed: Coincidence? Hmm...)

We were at the last exit before where I-39 breaks off to Wausau and there was a big, I mean big, like the size of Doc's Mansion of manure and the thought of Biff running into the manure with his '46 Ford popped up. Sadly, I said "That is one, big pile of sh*t." (From Jurassic Park)

I worked from 7th April to 5th May... wow. Has it really been that long? 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... ;)

I actually finished this. So it's true after all... if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.
