2008-1982 = 26 years!!!

Wholly Christ we're old. We all know that already. However, whether we're 12 or 38 we can still enjoy a good....or bad Rambo movie. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that on Jan. 25 2008, John J. Rambo comes out of retirement, once again, to fight some kind of militia group. I read that in this newest sequel Rambo actually uses a modified, military issued wheel chair with M16's attached to the arm rests.
I hope there's going to be a group outing to go see this fine art of a film. After all, this whole blog thing started with Rocky. It only makes sense to continue the tradition. In case you didn't know about this movie, you can check out the trailer here.
Remember, In the words of John Rambo. "Live for nothing, or die for something."

Don't let the fact that the average movie ticket cost $2.95 back in '82. I don't think that would buy you a box of Junior Mints today.

Just to make you even more depressed, here's a list of other costs back in '82


Yearly Inflation Rate USA 6.16%....Thanks Ronny Reagan!

Year End Close Dow Jones Industrial Average 1046

Interest Rates Year End Federal Reserve 11.50%

Average Cost of new house $82,200.00

Average Income per year $21,050.00

Average Monthly Rent $320.00

Cost of a gallon of Gas 91 cents....Man I hate this country's dependency on oil!

New Car Average price $7,983.00

US Postage Stamp 20 cents

Vic 20 $299.95.... this would be Commodore Vic 20 for all you non-geeks out there.

Satellite Reciever $245.95.... It think this is the only thing that's gone down in price.

A little bit of nostalgia for everyone to enjoy.
