Child of the 80s

Just had a random thought (there was a line of C's in my game of Big Money) -

How many people below the age of 27 know what the initials CCCP represent?

Are you saying that you don't know what CCCP represents? Where were you in 1991 and earlier?

Actually...I DO know what it is...I didn't want to say it...since I was 28 and that didn't include me in your limit. But....I know! I know!! (I'm a hockey fan...remember seeing it on the "enemy's" jerseys when I was young)

LOL! I remember that. Isn't it funny what images stick with us from childhood?

My big revelation about those initials stems from thinking of how much things have changed in 10 years. When we were kids, we lived under the knowledge (not a belief but a certainty according to the authorities) that we could all be obliterated in a blink of an eye. Remember the TV movie "The Day After?" I don't think it makes a lot of replay lists any more, but it was such an important movie of its day.
