Make sure you memorize a codeword that only you know. That way if someone visits you claiming to be your future self, it should be easy for him to identify himself.
My future self did visit me and he warned me not to invest in any hedge funds being managed by Bernie Maddof. Unfortunately he told me this after the Maddof story had hit the news media, so the info was pretty useless. Plus, I’ve never invested in any hedge funds anyway! You’d think he would have known that wouldn’t you? He also warned me not to vote for Obama but I had already figured that out on my own. I’m beginning to think maybe he wasn’t really me.
Since I’m getting up there in years being in my 50’s, I hope my future self shows up really really old and then I could like totally kick my ass! That would be cool!
Yeah, because your doppelganger wouldn’t know the secret code. If you met him, it would go something like this:
“Who are you?”
“I was about to ask you the same thing!”
“Give me the secret code.”
“No, you give me the secret code.”
“You go first.”
“No, you.”
“Ok, let’s write them down.”
“OK”
There are times in the past when I wish I had come from the future to kick my own ass before I did something embarrassing; and I could have too, because the past me wouldn’t know I was coming, whereas if I planned to pummel my future self, I’d already know about it and be ready for me.
Which is why I probably never will have been soon going to was is kicked myself.
Future imperfect tense?
It certainly was!
I actually did this when I was 8. I’ve always considered it one of my best moves, even though it hasn’t amounted to anything yet. No, I won’t say what it is, but I will say that a reasonably small company started using it as their name, which is awfully confusing. I’m pretty sure it’s not me, though.
Oddly enough, my future self showed up shortly after I read this. He knew the secret word so I was sure it was me. I asked him who was president in his time and he said Obama was still president, so I shot him. This may not have been a good idea. It turns out he/I only came back from next week. Oops!

My codeword is bacon. Don’t tell my future self.

“Harvey12345 ?”
“FrankJ12345 ?”
“That’s wrong!!”
“You’re wrong!!”
(Punch, smack, wham. You gotta protect yourself from doppelgangers.)
“Harvey??”
“Frank??”
Mine’s “How’s it hanging Bill and Ted”.
I’ll still punch myself just to see who would win in a fight.
I’m putting $20 on me.
Forgetful as I am I couldn’t possibly expect the future me to remember the code word, so we’ll probably end up punching each other.

Future imperfect tense?
It certainly was!
“What’s the code word?”
“I um, forgot”
“Yup, you’re me.”
If Obama’s future self showed up would he be jealous or in love?
Mine’s Rowsdower. Zap Rowsdower.

If your future self visits you, ask yourself for a few million dollars. That’s pocket money to future self.

Me: Whats the code word? Future me: “Get the eff outta here with that sooper sekrit squirrel shite”. Me: How’s it going? I see Im still around…….
