Off the Cliff

Might as well face it- I'm too old to be struck dumb by the novelty of something in English any more. Whatever it is, I've probably seen some version of it somewhere, very likely done worse or in a protean form but nonetheless, there, muddying the pure snow of an idea with its footprints. So much for new, then. At least in English. There's still Japanese, but that tried-and-true-loving culture remains an unreliable source.
