In a syndicated cartoon recently, two teen aged characters were eating pizza on a high diving board as a sprinkling came down from the sky. One character says to the other that it is too bad they have outgrown random spontaneity. The other says, "dude, we're literally eating pizza on a high dive in the rain." And gets this morose response: "Yes, but we're using napkins." Was that quoting something? The phrase "pizza on a high dive in the rain" is not merely a vivid image, it is metrically regular. PIZ - za on a HIGH dive in the RAIN. It sounds like it might have been used in someone's song as a metaphor for, yes, a spontaneous live-for-the-moment life. Either the cartoonist had a moment of genius, or he borrowed from a source that escapes me now. MSN
