LongHairedLady,  LOVE that Back to the Future reference.

A ‘must’ movie for anyone who hasn’t seen it.

One of the (many) funny scenes in the movie was seeing a Florida baseball team in in the World Series. A Florida baseball team? What a crazy thought!

They were playing the Cubs – and alas, that’s still preposterous.

Agreed.

Oh, and by the way, that photo is wrong.  People have been photoshopping it and passing it around every so often.  The real date is October 21, 2015.

We realized this last night during our Back to the Future marathon!  If all it did was get us to watch it again, it was totally worth the “prank”…  because those movies are so effing awesome.

If I had a time machine, I’d go back to December 8, 1980, to the Dakota Apartment building at approximately 10:30 p.m., find Mark David Chapman and inject him with a fatal overdose of heroin, check his pulse to make sure, then get back in my time machine and come home.

 Good idea. You do that, and I’ll go into the future, get some sort of cancer-curing miracle medicine, go back to whenever George was diagnosed with cancer, cure him, and come back to the present.

Don’t forget Linda!

Very thorough…no loose ends.

Yes, I wouldn’t have wanted (what’s the proper grammatical tense for time-travel?) him to survive and likely try to kill some other time. 

On a general P.S. I think some people who seem rather strangely neutral about Chapman’s crime (or subsume it under some general abstract pacifist principle they think is honoring John or something) don’t factor in the fact that Chapman not only cut down Lennon and stopped him from possibly decades of life and artistic exploration, he also could have injured or killed passers-by.  But a stand on gun control and pacifism is more important, of course; we must have our priorities in life.

You could just chop his hands off, he doesn’t have to die. You would also be punishing him for something he never did. Why not just take his gun and scare him off?

The premise is having a time machine, which means the benefit of hindsight.  Knowing what we know in their future, we know that he would likely try to kill again if given a chance.  If not John, someone else would be his victim, perhaps multiple victims.  (And a person crazy enough can still kill without hands.)
