I can't think of anything. But we may as well all have a go.

I'll wait until they release the chicken sound effect jacket

(I would actually seriously love a chicken sound effect jacket)

Um excuse me I don't want a replica, which another word for "constant crushing reminder that hoverboards aren't real," I want a proper hoverboard. If I won this I'd have to put some magnets on it then a bunch of other magnets on the floor of my apartment so that I could hover around properly and that just sounds like a lot of work.

Yeah once they invent the hoverboard and then do the BttF throwback version, I'll bite.

Why don't you get the replica and just add the "hover" bits yourself?

[ThunderPeel2001]

I have to say that I reckon this is probably BETTER than the original prop. I saw the real prop for Biff's hoverboard and it looked like shit! I couldn't believe it looked so cool in the movie.

Also: Where's the link to the competition? Do I have to search for it?

Also also: This is a little girl's hoverboard!

Edit: So Ben forgot to mention that the competition is to come up with the winning CAPTION for the photo he posted.

Damn. All I can think of is, "My name is Marty McFly, and I think homosexuality is AOK!".

[TychoCelchuuu]

"I'm Marty McFly, and the person whose cock I'd most like to suck is probably Jesus!"

"I'm Marty McFly, and even in the horrible dystopian future run by Biff, they realized that censoring talk of homosexuality for religious reasons is bigotry!"

Those forums are a real trip though. I never thought I'd see so many subforums dedicated to so many parts of Back to the Future. A subforum for the movie trilogy, one for the ride, one for the animated series, one for the fourth film, one for the cast and crew, one for events the website participates in, one for the DeLorean, one for the DVDs/Blu-Rays, one for a documentary about the movies, one for collections, one for websites about BttF (how meta), one for games, one for music, one for trivia and polls, plus a catchall subforum for time travel... but no 'off topic' forum section for people to talk about whatever. It's like the dystopian future where Biff is in charge except instead of Biff it's BttF itself in charge, somehow. And the newest registered user is "MartyGotParkinsonsLOL" which I guess is a good reminder of what the Internet is like.

Speaking of Michael J. Fox, has anyone ever seen the movie "The Hard Way?" I feel like that's a really underappreciated buddy cop film. Good actors, good sense of humor, nothing much to criticize.

"I'm Marty McFly, and I hope the fact that I've a got a big pink thing in my hands doesn't make you think gay thoughts or anything."

Unless you've got POWerrrr

Oh bollocks, i copied this over from a similar post at Size Five and it doesn't allow quote trees which always trips me up. Here's the pertinent bit of the email I got from bttf.com:

"I'm Marty McFly, time-traveller, and when I'm in 2015, I like to get about town on a little girl's hover board."

[Ben X]

I submitted one. I think I have a 30% chance of winning.

[ThunderPeel2001]

Not going to share it?

[Ben X]

Don't want any lurkers nicking it!

[ThunderPeel2001]

Don't want any lurkers nicking it!

But... you've already submitted it?

[Ben X]

Yeah, but "original ideas". Not taking any chances, this is for a goddamn hoverboard.

[TychoCelchuuu]

Hoverboard replica.

[Ben X]

I'll get hover-conversion done in the early 21st century.

[elmuerte]

I submitted the same one as Ben

Wow, you really want this! Ok, you can tell me on Thursday. I've just entered the competition myself. I went with one of my contributions above... but I won't tell you which one! Can you enter as many times as you like?
