Early Edition
October 22, 2015 | 19:42 | Written by: snake911Yesterday was the biggest celebration for nerds as it was Wednesday, October 21, 2015, the date when Marty McFly traveled to the future and got a taste of things to come thirty years from his present time in Back to the Future Part II. Well, 10/21 has come and gone, but the real deal came today a day later when USA Today put out their special edition on newsstands that mimicked the one seen in the movie from the year 2015.
I knew this issue would sell out fast so I made the extra effort to get up way earlier than I normally would, got my morning workout out of the way, and then booked it to a nearby gas station where I know sells USA Today; all while still wearing my workout clothes and sweating profusely, no less. When I got there, and to my surprise, there was only one copy left on the stand. I was hoping to get three: one for me, one for my brother, and one as an extra copy, but that plan wasn’t meant to be. I quickly snatched up the last copy, paid for it, and got the heck out of there before any other BTTF nerds seeing that they just missed it try to hassle me for taking their copy. But thank goodness I made it back home without and confrontations.
It’s so cool that they went out of their way to publish this goofy special edition for us fans of the movie. Gotta love that futuristic looking USA Today logo.
