Logan’s Run is a dystopia in which people live to the age of thirty, and not a day longer. On Last Day, they attend Carrousel, where they believe they re-enter the cycle of death and reincarnation. Carrousel is a lie, of course, as Logan 5 and Jessica 6 discover. Jess Hemerly is a big fan of the movie, so for her thirtieth birthday, she held a Logan’s Run-themed party. She wore a dress like the one actress Jenny Agutter wore in the movie and made this neat origami arrangement that looks like Carrousel. Check out her Flickr set at the link.

The above image recently appeared on 4chan. The legion of anonymous users there interpreted it as suggesting that it was necessary to publicly advertise for people to attend an old man’s birthday party. The people of 4chan, and later reddit, decided to track down this man and throw him a huge birthday party. They discovered that his name is William Lashua and that he lives in Ashburnham, Massachusetts.
A man claiming to be his grandson started a reddit thread and clarified the situation. Mr. Lashua actually had a large and well-connected family. The poster was put up in a local shop for people who knew him in the immediate community. The grandson offered an address to which people could send cards, but asked that redditors and anonymous respect the family’s privacy at the party.
Most did, and no strippers appeared, but here you can view a video from Mr. Lashua’s 90th birthday party. He opened cards and presents sent to him from the good people of the internet, and thanked them.
The economy is so bad that even princesses have to take time from whatever it is princesses do every day and actually get a job. One Princess Amerah of Salt Lake City, Utah, got herself a sweet gig: you can rent her to host your kid’s birthday party!
Don’t let my daughter see this or I’d have to fly the Princess in for her next birthday party … Link – via J-Walk Blog
