Ghostbuster's 30 Year Anniversary

I can't believe it has been 30 years since the movie Ghostbusters came out. As a way of celebrating one of my favorite movies, I've come up with a t-shirt design featuring a Proton Pack that can be purchased on The Cotton Bureau's website for a limited time, as well as 30 things that I learned from the movie (seriously, these things make a very distinct impression on my young mind).

1. I ain’t fraid of no ghost.
2. The key master always gets the gatekeeper.
3. You can’t take someone out to dinner if the petty cash is gone.
4. ‘Everything happens for a reason…’
5. This movie portrayed Walter Peck, an EPA representative as a sort of bad guy, in today’s movies it seems more than likely that someone from the EPA would be portrayed as the hero.
6. ‘Don’t cross the streams’
7. It is important to test your equipment prior to using it.
8. $5,000 to catch a ghost in ’84. In todays world with inflation it would cost around $11,500.
9. Actual physical contact is great… as long as you can move afterward.
10. When someone asks you if you’re a God, you say YES!
11. Do your job, and don’t tell others how to do theirs.
12. Collecting Spores, molds, and fungus is a hobby.
13. Make sure to share important safety tips before doing something stupid.
14. Keep a house key with you when you leave the house.
15. Don’t do your own taxes.
16. Ghostbusters phone number 212-555-2368. If you call it today, it will ring for a long time and finally someone (not a Ghostbuster) will answer.
17. Being subject to the negative reinforcement of ESP isn’t worth $5. Today that experiment would pay $14.39.
18. Results are expected when working in the private sector.
19. It makes good financial sense to get no-name-brand aspirin. You can get double the amount as the same price as the name brand.
20. A warrant or a writ is necessary to intrude on a premises and shut of a containment unit.
21. Scientists don’t typically behave like game show hosts, or at least they shouldn't.
22. You and your friends can do more damage if you split up.
23. ‘Get Her!’ isn’t a well thought out plan.
24. Don’t stare. Especially if you have bug-like eyes.
25. A possible cause for seeing apparitions is menstruation.
26. Human beings must be incapable of stacking books floor to ceiling.
27. Slow down. Chew your food.
28. Everyone has 3 mortgages these days. But if the guy offers 13%, you should bargain.
29. Dogs and cats living together is the equivalent of mass hysteria.
30. It is possible to drill a hole into one's head... in theory.

Aside from these 30 things, and probably the most important gem of wisdom I learned from this movie came from the mouth of Dr. Peter Veinkman when he said that the magic word is: Please.
