With the rapid rise of "XTREME" sports and the
systematic
throttling of legitimate methods of self-initiated removal
from the rat race, UBCo has developed a method that
falls
into the grey area between personal gratification and
personal vaporisation.
The willing "sportsperson" waits until
a suitable public
holiday and is then strapped to a gigantic firework and
launched into the night sky at an appropriately joyous
moment.
Given a ripcord to pull and a parachute to deliver oneself
gently back to Earth in the event of changing one's mind,
the deliberately or accidentally tardy participant goes out
in a blaze of glory and a cloud of pink mist. (Sparkles
optional)
Sic Transit Gloria!

I've already put you down as our first test pilot, on
the strength of a bet I made myself that you'd be
first to comment on the idea. |

Are we really that predictable ? |
|
| |
Sadly, yes. All the Earth is a stage and we must
recite our lines. |

people can go at the same time. |

There's not enough opportunity to spectacularly die. It is
concievably quite an important event when everyone
dives unconscious into an eternal vastness of supposed
nothingness with only the faintest hope that life will
reoccur for any of us. It seems something to not take
lying down. Bun for this idea. |

I have to say this did seem a bit Borg-ish, I'd go for breach of copyright... |

I saw a little of it in the 70s.
Is this somehow similar? |

Mix with some copper sulphate, for purple rain. |

Hmm, someone even more boring than me will sit down and work out percentage of activities in Logan's Run...I'm guessing that it should be called "Logan's Standing Up". |
|
| |
I want to end with a bang. Just not quite like this one.
Have a bun anyway for providing the option. |
|
| |
Oh... Sorry, I think I saw maybe one and a half
episodes. |
|

The fillum. go watch the fillum...that Jenny Agutter... |

Ok, I'm changing that to "Logan's (standing around explaining the plot to each other, with a bit of ) running.." |

So beautiful in the night sky. + |
