Haha.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, as I told Ryan and Amy, I came across Logan's Run as a fluke while watching late night tv. And it was edited for tv, so I was surprised to see all the boobage this time around! I have always thought it was such a cool story. It seems to borrow a bit from Ayn Rand's Anthem and Planet of the Apes, but in good, archetypal ways. <BR/><BR/>Ever since I saw the movie, I thought Logan was a cool name, but when I saw a guy on MTVs Real World with the name, it kind of ruined it for me. And then people started naming their dogs Logan, and it was ruined even more. But secretly, I still think it's a kick-ass name. <BR/><BR/>As for forest vs. valley - perhaps a foresty valley?jeric2003https://www.blogger.com/profile/01427046711302423793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9603781.post-51875578772405441312008-05-12T15:10:00.000-07:002008-05-12T15:10:00.000-07:00You're right, that was embarrassing.I didn't even ...You're right, that was embarrassing.<BR/><BR/>I didn't even know Logan was a real name for years, and just assumed it was one of those fake names invented in comics primarily to sound cool (like Jor-El or Madrox).<BR/><BR/>It is definitely cool though. I've always thought it was a "foresty" sounding name for some reason, probably because of Wolverine's Canadian origin. But now I've looked it up and apparently it's Irish Gaelic meaning valley or hollow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9603781.post-67129515317339236422008-05-12T11:52:00.000-07:002008-05-12T11:52:00.000-07:00This is horribly embarrassing, but the first time ...This is horribly embarrassing, but the first time I ever heard the name "Logan" was when I read a Babysitter's Club book in 3rd grade. Logan was the new kid the main character liked.<BR/><BR/>I had read all the other books in our class's library!

I've never seen the movie though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
