I've never seen "Logan's Run" ...
however, I have seen "The Running Man" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Which includes the most under-appreciated of all the governor's great lines:
After killing the fat "electric-powered" assassin, Arnold mumbles,
"Lights out, Christmas Tree."
You have to hear him say it, though ... trust me, it's hilarious.

Movie
Being killed off at 30 - wasn't that Logan's Run?
Set in the future where the government tells everyone they have to 'renew' at 30, but in fact they're secretly just exterminated because of increasingly scarce resources etc.
Book was far better than the film, although the print version doesn't have Jenny Agutter stripping off...

MPO,
Excuse me for coming back, but you aren't half-dead. If you are planning on 30, you are now 2/3 dead. (that's rounded to a whole number, as you can see.)

Btw, I've changed my mind on that philosophy...
I mean, what was I thinking? 30 ... that's ridiculous!
I'll never make it.

I suppose so, Jack...
I'm surprised there are a number of people here who actually like that joke. I thought it would be considered too mean-spirited.

MPO!
Not going to live past 30? That sounds like boomer talk to me. There was ''don't trust anyone over thirty'' too. I don't know what it is now. I would guess ''don't trust anyone over 90,'' or maybe ''don't trust anyone under 50.'' Or maybe,
''aahhh FUCK! What happened?''

Pretty smart doc.
Now the guy is going to think how lucky he is that she's dead.

Thank you, Saul...
That joke actually got me banned from a writer's forum last year.
Well, that and referring to the moderator as a "backwoods retard".

I'm sure that's not true, Southpaw296...
My comments always seem to come off sounding so shallow ... I'm really not though.

Don't worry, A...
this isn't going to suddenly become some sort of "joke blog" or
anything ... merely mixing things up a bit because I didn't have time to do a more "traditional" post today.

I suppose I have nine years (+) to reconsider, fionajean ...
As far as your question (concerning freelancing), I would strongly recommend (at least considering) this service:

Btw, before anyone asks, I have NO connection whatsoever to Ms. Faron or her company.

Life Doesn't Begin...
Well, I've gone 44 years of being horribly unattractive, so I guess it's a little late in the day for me to start thinking of any such drastic action about it now...

Hi there
Amusing. I'm quite intriqued by the dead by 30 thing. I suspect you may change your mind when you hit 30. (When I was 20, I thought 30 was old, now that I'm 30, I don't look at it that way - but then, I don't feel thirty). I'm so jealous - I'm trying to break into the freelance writing business. I'd love to do it full-time. I've had some success but it's slow..... Any suggestions?

You're lucky, Capt. G...
it's much different for men.
For example, look at Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Sean Connery, Richard Gere, George Clooney or Clint Eastwood ... just to name six.

By dying, curator.
The only caveat being that both my aunt and my mother are still considered attractive (even at their "advanced ages") ... so, maybe, there's hope for me, as well.
Though, I'm not sure that's a risk I'm willing to take.

Yikes
I hope I live a bit longer than that...I would only have about a year and a half left! And I don't even have my Lamborghini yet that I said I would own.

what kind of old person do you want to be?
The question begs to be asked after such a joke, what kind of old geezer do you want to be when you are shriveled up and looking like a prune?
By the way, MPO, thanks for the recomendation you gave me on Wendy's site. I was working with her yesterday on her original story, but I don' t know if she has read my work yet.
