Of Course Perm got in a cyber argument about Marty McFly

As all of you may well know, I have never seen any of the Back to the Future movies.

(but that didn't stop me from making a flag football tshirt about it)


DING DING. It's on! Perm vs. bloogers. Who ya got?
(Just in case you guys wanted the recap)


This all started because of an article calling Marty McFly "History's Idiot"

I take it perm was kind of pissed, so he took to the comments section for vengeance.

Let's see you go back in time after your best friend was killed by terrorist and make sure biff didn't kick the shit out of your dad. This post didn't really tell me he was a bad time traveler it was just a summary of the movie. You seemed to talk just to shit on the movie. You lost me once you complained about Marty saying let's see if you can go 90! Once I read that I went ohhhhh you are a nerd. Come on youre really gonna bitch about him Not saying 88 mphs?That's like saying the score to a game and starting with the lower of the two scores. Oh Timmy lost 55 to 90. Marty is a fucking hero! You remember that! This blog of yours is a babies toy. Get it nerd? Watch your mouth.

Mr. Smith, I am contacting you today to explain that you might have misunderstood something before writing your correspondence. The mention of Marty's quote is to point out that he immediately forgot what would happen if he reached or exceeded 88 miles per hour. Marty had just witnessed a scientific breakthrough for the ages. He does not attempt to reach 90 miles per hour in order to attempt time travel but rather to escape being shot. His inability to understand how time travel works is featured throughout the film. That was the basis of the post. Evan was not nitpicking. You are. And you did it incorrectly.

Evan Said:
Dear StanSmith,

You have my deepest apologies for insulting someone who is clearly a personal hero of yours, and also fictional. You must have been so blinded by my affront to you and Mr. McFly that you forgot that part at the beginning where I say that I love these movies. And also that part where I say I'm a nerd, which would have saved you the trouble of presenting that information as if it is something that I might take as an insult.

If there is anything about "bitching" about the foibles of science-fiction and fantasy characters (who, once again, are fictional) that is NOT nerdy, I would love to hear about it because clearly you are a gentleman who is well-versed in the unsung art of Nerd Identification.

I would also like to apologize if I was unclear with my jokes at the expense of your fictional hero. All I was trying to say was that Marty, after hearing "88 miles per hour" twice, proceeded to drive the DeLorian 90 miles per hour, not seeming to realize that this would activate the time machine. That is, to use a technical term, "fucking stupid." Someone on another page suggested that Marty may have accidentally powered on the Flux Capacitor while he was changing gears, but I humbly submit to you that that was also "fucking stupid" of him. If I failed to spell that joke out well enough for you to understand it, it is my fault, and I hope you will forgive me.

I deeply regret offending you, and I hope to learn more about tolerance and understanding of others by your example, particularly your blog entitled "Drinks like a bitch, writes like a bitch, must be a slut."

Once again, I apologize. But while we're exchanging constructive criticism, I would like to point out that while my blog may be a "babies toy" as you claim, your computer is a grownup's toy, and contains all kinds of punctuation keys that you might ask someone to explain to you.

My best,
Evan

StanSmith Said:
Evan! Whats going on? Great post! I post via iPhone so excuse my lack of creative sarcasm and incorrect usage of punctuations. Don't take low blows on my blog writing skills, I didn't realize this was a fucking English class. It's all fun and games. But I strongly disagree with your post. Marty an idiot? No credit about the lighting striking the clock tower? No credit on going back in time again to give a letter to doc to save his life? Nothing? How about when he uses his head to start the car? Why stop at Marty? Let's shit on Indy, James Bond, every 1980's fictional character. There's just one thing. What the hell is that?!?!

And I don't know what your buddy is talking about. He clearly knows the circumstances of going 90. Check it out. Im pretty sure that's your friends argument of defending you. But Marty is well aware of situation.

Evan Said:
Stan! I do apologize for the low blows. For reals this time.

Also, I can't give Marty credit as a genius for any of those things. The lightning was Doc (and Nature). The letter to Doc was friendship, which is admirable, but requires neither intelligence nor any particular ability. And it's not like he thought, "If I bang my head on the car it will start." The car didn't start, he banged his head on it, and then it started.

But let me clarify something: I'm poking fun here. I don't hate these movies and I'm not "shitting on" Marty. Part of how I like things is to pick them apart; that's just what I do. You disagree with me, you think Marty's awesome, and I respect that. It's not really worth getting worked up over, is it?

StanSmith Said:
Hahahaha no reason to get worked up at all! The fact you wrote about back to the future is awesome! I'm just a pain in the ass! And come on the head hitting the wheel was a joke. The more we read of each other the more we will understand our humor! Seriously though give that drunk story another chance, women are just a pain in the nuts, someones got to keep them on their toes!

Evan Said:
Fine...I'll take you off of my Wall of Nemeses, then. It was getting pretty crowded up there anyway.
