I see these movies where people go back in time, or get cloned or whatever and immediately recognize themselves.
I think that's bullshit. I honestly don't know what I look like. Like everyone else, I think pictures look nothing like me (I'm thinking it's because you see yourself in a mirror -- which is backwards), and I when I do look in the mirror, it's to groom, not to drink in my beauty.
So, being the case that if someone walked up to me and said "I'm you" either present-time me or from the future, in a Biff Tannen-like deal, I would need him to prove to me that he's me. Therefore, pretend you walk up to yourself and say "I'm you and I need to tell you something important", and present-day you says "prove you're me"
What would you say?
I would say...
..that I have had a little random tiny (1/2" long by about 1/10") black and red magnet with me for as long as I can remember. I have no idea where it came from, but I just remember it being on my floorboard as a kid, I kept it there growing up, and I've just always brought it with me whenever I moved. And I'm not even superstious. Nobody in the world knows this.
....I would mention how when I visited Pat Joyce's house when I was in high school, I stole is Rickey Henderson 1980 rookie card. I was probably 15
.....That for some reason when I was a kid, I always wished my name was "Dan", and when I met my Danny Kirby, who was the son of a friend of my father's, I didn't like him because he had my name. I think I was about 7.
