You Know You're A Backie When... Part 7

(Compiled from the bttf.com message boards)

Part 7, here we go.

YKYABW... Part 7:

- Well last night I came up to my dad who was watching TV with my mom and said, "You know what's on tonight?" "What?" "Back..." He said, "to"; I said, "the..." he said, "future," and we both said, "Part III". I asked how he knew, and he said he just guessed, 1 in 3 chance.

- Today I was in Suncoast paying for my Spin City and the guy asked me if they were for me or if they were for a gift. So I said they are for me (duh) and he was really suprised. So my sister told him I was obsessed with MJF and we ended up getting into a conversation about how Michael was much better than Charlie. I was about to ask him if he was a huge BTTF fan also but my sister dragged me out of the store.
- After this happens you can't wait too post it on the BTTF.com MBs.
- In science class one time (last yearr) my teacher asked us all what year plutonium was discovered and I used the fact that Doc knew about it in 1955 as a base for my guess.
- i kno, its not to scale

- You have read all 17 pages of this thread! Once in science class, the teacher got to plutonium (we were talking about elements) and the whole class got into a discussion about BTTF! It was pretty cool! I knew the answers to some people questions, but because I am a slacker, I didn't say the answers to waste class time!
- AlternateStrickland

- Everytime you call someone, when they pick up the phone, you say "[Their name], is that you?" or "You didn't fall asleep did you?"
- Blind Spot

- I swear I did this... the other day a driver cut me off and I was yelling, "Hello McFly, did you not see me? What, are you blind McFly?" But d*mn it the driver didn't hear me
- DocsGirl

- You're posting here when you're really supposed to be reading your books for school
- i kno, its not to scale

- This happened awhile ago; I just never posted it... When I first got the trilogy on DVD - I had to watch it on my brother's DVD player cause I didnt have one yet. I put Part3 in, not realizing that another DVD was in there. When I pressed play my DVD got all scratched up and it wouldnt play anymore... I was so hysterical crying that I went right back to Kmart at like 9:30 that night... thank god they let me exchange the whole thing.
- DocsGirl

- I was in class yesterday for the beginning of the new semester. One of the course policies in a lot of classes at my school is that if you miss 4 meetings, your grade goes down 1 point. One of the teachers was reading that off, and when I could, I spoke up, "4 tardies in a row, Mcfly, you're a slacker!" There were a few laughs (the teacher included), a few stares, but one guy in the back muttered "Geez, it's that 'Back to the Future' guy again." Funny enough, I didn't even recognize him, so I must have a reputation there now. I had a BTTF rep in Jr High and High School too. Looks like it's following me now.
- Blind Spot

- When I was on the bus today I heard a very familiar tune coming from the back of my bus. It was a cell phone ringing, and it was the BTTF theme song! I was like, "OMG that's the Back to the Future theme song! And my friend was like, "Really?" like it was no biggie but I was excited! I never found out who's it was. I wonder if I have a fellow fan at my school!
- Fluxing 55

- Whenever I run cross country races, I make sure "The Power of Love" is in my head!
- Whenever you get to a place you had recently been, you always say to whoever's there, "Geez, Doc, I mean it's like I was just here yesterday!"
- You think it would be the coolest thhing if you could persuade your science teacher to watch BTTF in class for it's academic value. (Ed: You should ask your history teacher that instead.)
- Lil' White Dove

- Was never even interested in history until I saw BTTF; now anything we're are studying in class (mostly history) I try to relate to BTTF and it really makes it more fun! I love when we discuss the 1950s, 1880s and 1980s
- Fluxing 55

- Today one of the guys in my one of my classes was talking about our new vice principal (Matthew J. Fox) with another girl in my class and he called him Michael J. Fox as a joke. At first the girl was like, "It's Matthew not Michael"; and the guy was like, "I know Michael J. Fox is an actor". For a min. I wanted to asked the girl how she has never heard of MJF but then she remembered who he was. I wanted to tell them both that he was SO good in BTTF but by the time I turned around they were talkin about something else.
- You are thinking about wearing your BTTF shirt for school picture day
- i kno, its not to scale

- I wish I had a BTTF shirt to wear for school picture day. hehe.
- JohnnyB GoodeGirl

- I HAVE a BTTF shirt for picture day!
- Tori

- You know someone called Joey and you introduce him by saying, "And over there is little baby Joey."
- BTTF Trilogy III

- This just happened before... I was watching Part2 (I know, I know, I should have been watching Part3, but I was in the mood to watch 2), and my mom asked me if I signed something and I was about to say no when Marty said it in the movie (I think it was when he found the Oh La La magazine in Strickland's office). I was like, "What Marty said, no."
- DocsGirl

- You pass the 'Science Fiction' section and look for a copy of 'A Match Made in Space'.
- Blind Spot

- This just happened and I had to post it right away... My dad is watching a tv show (I dont know which one it is) and the guy is like, "You cant change the future". I started yelling at the TV: Yes you can! The future is whatever you make it! So make it a good one!
- DocsGirl

- I've begun to have these really random quotes from the movies pop up in my head whenever they are appropriate, even if the line wasn't one I meant to remember. Here's an example, although there have been more random ones that I just don't remember: This morning, I was eating breakfast and looked at the time. It was 7:00 and all of a sudden I hear (in my head! lol) Buford saying, "Seven O'clock!" from the town festival scene in Part 3. It's the most hilarious thing when this happens.
- Also, a few times when I've been russhing and looked at the time, I thought, "[time], great, I still got time!" from when Marty gets back from 1955 and sees what time it is. - You have to write a mock epic for Ennglish Lit class and you can pick any story, and you choose BTTF. (It's due Thursday!) OMG as I typed that I suddenly thought, "That's this Thursday!" even though the line says, "Monday"... lol)
- Lil' White Dove

- You spend 4 hours between classes writing your next fanfic, when you should've been doing homework - I've got a big test in about 10 hours from now. (And whenever anyone I knew passed me and asked what I was doing, I just said "Stories... Science Fiction stories.")
- Blind Spot

- That's true, Blind Spot. I use most of my free periods to either write some more of my fan fiction, or I'm on this message board. Homework is for home!

- Hot_For_Doc

- After dinner, I don't know how we got to this topic, but my dad said something like, "A friend of mine said that he was getting spoiled with DVDs... that he wouldn't buy a movie he wanted on VHS even if it wasn't on DVD." I was thinking, "That's how it was with me and BTTF," just like how Marty says, "That's how it was with me and Jennifer!" lol.
- Lil' White Dove

- That day my mother decided to give me a new haircut, and I was like: "Is this a haircut? No, this is a science experiment."
- MY FATHER HIT 88 ON THE ROAD! And myy brother and I yelled "88MPH!" so loudly that we nearly had an accident or something...
- You're contemplating doing a school project on BTTF next year.
- OUTATUNE

- I was grocery shopping a couple hours ago. While getting some junk food (as usual) I ran across the 'Hot & Spicy' Cheez Its. I instantly thought of one of [DocNov121955 of ff.net's] old FF.net stories entitled 'Hot & Steamy'. In fact, I really thought it said that for a second.
- Blind Spot

- Whenever you hear of someone with the last name Brown, you wonder if he's any relation to Emmett Brown.

Marty: Doc, Doc, Doc, Doc... All right, relax Doc, it's me, Marty.
Doc: Can't be! I just sent you back to the future.
Marty: I know you sent me back to the future but... I'm back, I'm back from the future
Doc: Great Scott!
- Carl McFly

- You "borrow" all of the batteries in the clocks in your house and set the clocks to 10:04.

- Blind Spot

- Your friend who dosn't like BTTF that much comes into your room and plays on your computer and you turn on the first movie. She was mad at first but started watching it and paying good attention to it. She even watched a couple of scenes over again. the next day she claimed she didn't like it that much, but I'm seeing right through her. I don't think that she will ever be a backie though.

- You have a BTTF themed wedding and even include a little skit(that only you, your bride, and the priest are in on) that takes place right after you and your beloved say your vows.
Priest: I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.
(Groom starts his lips towards the bride's when the loud roar of an engine is heard as the "Lybians" theme begins to play)
Groom (looking up): Oh my ***, they found us! I don't know how but they found us!
Priest: Run for it you two!
(Suddenly a VW camper van pulls up and a guy "blows the priest away; the priest even falls back and screams like Doc did. The groom and bride jump into a custom made Delorean time machine (likely a kit car) and take off only to be chased around by the "terrorist" in their van until there are three sonic booms and the DeLorean speeds through a large frame with a black curtain hanging in the middle of it (representing the hole in time) and leaves behind twin flame trails, causing the VW van to smash into the gazebo where you took your vows and fall onto its side.

- Jamie McFly

- Today this kid who sat behind me wasn't paying attention in class, so my friend bopped him on the head saying, "Hello! Hello! Anybody in there?" - and tons of BTTF fans recognize the phrase - and I said, "Cut it out Biff!" and my friend said, "Don't be so gullible, McFly!" So 'Biff' started shaking the kid and he said, "Get off me," so I grabbed my friend's hand and said, "He said get your meathooks off... ummm... please?" and my friend playfully said, "What's it to you, butthead? You know you've been lookin' for a fight!" and so we pushed each other and he grabbed my shirt with his fist near my face and I did the same and my teacher said, "OKAY, COOL IT!" and we sat down. It was funny... you just had to be there... I'm shorter than my friend too.... so it was like he was Biff and I was Marty lol.
- Zack

- Today we were running mile intervals for cross country. Most of the team (including me) only had to do 4, but varsity had to do 5. I didn't know they had to do 5 until we were done, but varsity was still running, so I asked my friend how any they were doing. She said 5, and, automatically, without even thinking about it, "Great Scott" tumbled out of my mouth! It was hilarious; we had a good laugh. (She hasn't seen BTTF, but I told her she should so she wants to see it now.)
- Lil' White Dove

- Whenever I run laps I pretend I'm going 88 mph but near the end I always say, "Let's see if you *******s can do 90!" I'm a pretty good runner though. (Ed: I'm not. I'm still trying to figure out if playing the BTTF theme in my head makes me run faster as compared to a random band song.)
- I am your Density

- A lot of times when I drive and put the car in gear I say, "Hi Ho Silver" Of course someone has to be in the car with me.
- Future guy 1985

- Whenever me and my friend Angie race down the big neighborhood hill, I always scream, "88 miles per hour!!!!!" She gets really annoyed whenever I do it though.
- Jamie McFly

- The other day I was working out at the gym with my partner. He said, "What do you want to do next?" I said, "How about some McFly's?" He just lokked at me and said, "You just can't get enough of that movie can you?" I replied, "Never enough."
- Future guy 1985

- Just for a change, I'm gonna include a past and a (likely) future YKYABW response.
PAST STORY: In early 1996, just before one of my Jr High dances, one of the guys was asking me about it. I said loudly, "I can't go to the dance, I'll miss my favorite television program 'Unsolved Mysteries'." (I updated it about 40 years). He thought I was serious, so I continued in a purposely nervous voice and shaking a finger, "Look, I'm just not ready to ask [the name of this girl I knew] to the dance! And not you or anyone else on this planet is gonna make me change my mind!" (One of the teachers overheard and said I would get sent outside if I said one more line from 'Back to the Future'.)
FUTURE STORY: Kind of an obvious one, but if I live to see September 3, 2069, I'm gonna go, "What did I tell you, 88 years old! The temporal displacement occured at exactly 12:15 AM and 0 seconds!" (That's the time of day I was born).
- Blind Spot

- Today I was riding bikes with my brother on a trail that he had never been on before. I was describing to him the next part when I said, "Just do this: Blues Riff in B, watch me for the changes, and try to keep up"! I thought it was pretty funny!

- Me and my friend were talking about the electic skooters that we wanted to get. I'm getting one, but my friends mom said that she couldn't get one because there weren't any roads to ride on were they live. I couldn't help but say: "Roads? Where you live you don't need roads" My friend cracked up laughing cause she's a backie too.

- There's this huge Einstein poster inn my Physics class and on it, there's a bunch of quotes that talk about using the advances in science for good and not for destructive purposes. Whenever I see it (which is often - I'm in the front row, it's practically right in front of my face) I daydream and think about how Doc wants to use the time machine for discovery and scientific purposes, not for personal gain.
- Lil' White Dove

- You're talking to your sister about the show EVERWOOD and instead of saying (Dr.) Andy Brown you say Emmett Brown - In Spanish class the other day I wass talking to a friend about BTTF (because I was wearing a BTTF shirt) and my other friend said that she had never seen BTTF (and I thought that she had) so I told her I was going to tie her to a chair and make her watch it
- Also that same day (in that same claass) I was talking to another girl in my class about BTTF and I got really excited because she seemed to know the movie pretty well. Maybe she is a backie among us
- i kno its not to scale
