About a year ago, Kiefer and I introduced Boo and Radley to Back to the Future, and now we’ve followed it up with Back to the Future II and III.
Did you know that Back to the Future II takes place in the year 2015?
I, for one, am incredibly happy to know that in just a few short years we’ll have powerlaces. Never again will I stop mid-jog to catch my breath tie my shoe.
Maybe we should rethink that one. Children will never know the joy of tying shoelaces together and then seeing someone fall flat on his face.
Here are a few other things you should prepare yourself for in 2015:
- Flying cars. In addition to your driver’s license, you’ll need a pilot’s license. (Where we’re going…we won’t need roads.)
- No lawyers in 2015. Consider yourself warned, Misty.
- Jaws 19. Movies have a lot of catching up to do.
- The Cubs will win the World Series.
Just keep swimming…Just keep swimming….
The most important thing I learned from Back to the Future II was that hoverboards don’t work on water.

*throws you a pop-tart* -for all the wisdom you’ve shared about what I need to prepare for. Number 1 goal: Get pilots license.

What wonderful insight you have! Are you the new coming of the Dalai Lama?
September 12th, 2012 at 6:43 am
Nah…I have too much of a temper for that. Plus…I don’t want to shave my head.

I hear ya! It’s a bitch when you get sunburn!
September 10th, 2012 at 7:59 am
No! They already took prank calls away, now shoelaces too?!
September 12th, 2012 at 6:43 am
Where will it end?
September 10th, 2012 at 8:33 am
Would you beleive I’ve never seen any of them? I’ve seen scenes, just not start to finish. They never really appealed to me. I suppose I should fix that.
September 12th, 2012 at 6:43 am
GASP!
September 10th, 2012 at 8:50 am
yeah! No lawyers! (sorry, Misty, I still love you)
September 10th, 2012 at 10:44 am
That’s ok. I admit that my profession as a whole pretty much sucks.
Carry on . . .

Don’t forget those tiny pizzas that turn in to big pizzas. It’ll be awesome.

I wonder if Bagel Bites will still be the same size.

And that’s why your name is “Thoughtsy.”

good to know!
September 10th, 2012 at 10:10 am
20. . .15!?!? OK, it’s official. I feel freakin’ old. ((sigh!))
September 10th, 2012 at 10:15 am
Can’t believe 2015 isn’t that far away anymore. What the hell happened?!
September 10th, 2012 at 10:43 am
But, but, but . . . who will file frivilous lawsuits when morons spill hot coffee on their laps while driving? Oh, the humanity!!!
Meh, I was looking for a career change, anyway. Maybe hoverboard repair will be my new gig.

Didn’t you also learn that wearing a cool 80s jacket is not the done thing when your dad is young?

I learned that if some crazy old coot starts giving you a bunch of crap, don’t worry; it’s just Future You.
September 10th, 2012 at 3:14 pm
Are they still calling for the world to end this December? Did Back to the Future miss that memo? Did the Mayans know about hoverboards? So many questions…
September 10th, 2012 at 3:53 pm
Hmmph! I have never had shoes with laces and I plan to keep it that way.
September 10th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
It is clear from this post I have some BttF catching up to do! Or . . . maybe I should just wait a few years and let the future catch up to me.
September 10th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
I will be happy about the Cubs.
September 10th, 2012 at 8:28 pm
I didn’t realize my 2nd grader didn’t know how to tie shoes. Her shoes were either velcro or girly shoes. Bonus to being late on this one – she learned in about 4 minutes. Too bad power laces didn’t show up for the timed tying contest.
September 12th, 2012 at 6:45 am
I’m glad she learned quickly! I didn’t realize until a year or two ago that they didn’t teach how to tie your shoes in school anymore.
September 10th, 2012 at 9:27 pm
2015? Really?
Huh. Is it weird that it still sounds all future-y, even though it’s only a few years away?
September 11th, 2012 at 11:58 am
And I can’t even drive a regular car yet! *sigh*
September 11th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
This is great! I love the way your think. “We won’t need roads” You’ve got me laughing again. I think this is worth a box of Pop-Tarts.
September 12th, 2012 at 2:34 am
I should be ashamed for I have not seen either of the sequels. I can’t call myself an American.
September 12th, 2012 at 6:46 am
I’m shaking my head at you.
September 12th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
The future is upon us. I can’t wait to get my hover board, and I promise not to try to use it over water.
