I am watching Back to the Future right now. Ask me anything.

1. Which one?

1, 2, or 3?

[coloradodem2005]

2. 1.

8. Since it's...

... Back to Future, does Michael J. Fox get Parkinson's as the tape gets older?

[aquaman]

9. That's not funny.....

[punpirate]

10. Well, I think it is, in the context of the movie title...

... all the while, I am capable of thinking that Parkinson's itself is not at all funny.

[aquaman]

11. My father died of Parkinson's

So, I am a little defensive.

[punpirate]

14. It's not a good way to die...

... but neither is it a good reason for becoming part of the correctness police. Black humor is a commonality in the world. It's part of living and dying, and understanding what it means. If your father had a sense of humor, he might find it funny, too.

One of my kids drowned. Doesn't mean I get upset at every joke about drowning.

[aquaman]

15. I was not trying to offend you,

I am sorry about your child, I can't imagine the pain that you must feel. Really, I am usually not part of the PC crowd, just struck a nerve. Peace.

[punpirate]

16. I'm over it...

... that's why I don't get upset at jokes.

But, it probably struck a nerve in you because you're not entirely over it.

Took me ten years to come to terms with it. Don't how long you've been living with your father's death, but it does take time.

I would guess that if I sent this thread off to Michael Fox, he'd probably find it funny, too. He's a funny guy. The movie is proof of that. No harm at all intended.

[aquaman]

17. You are right,

I am not over it, I haven't yet come to grips with it, it was a horrible slow death which has had a nasty impact on me.

13. Love those movies

and I love the song "Johnny be Good". I was really glad when they were using it for the campaign.

I was thinking of buying the DVD. It came out a few months ago.
