How often do you engage in fiddle faddle? Do you fiddledeedee when others do? Are you fit as a fiddle? Does your middle look like a fiddle?

    Fiddle Faddle is fattening (but really good).  I engage in a box of it every year or 2.

    Aw, fiddlesticks!  How about fat as a cello?

    Is that like caramel corn Shuhak? I've never eaten any but I've seen it in the grocery stores and we have had Crackerjacks. There are some pretty hi-falutin' caramel corns in the market. All have lotsa sugar which I try to avoid since I'm pre-diabetic. You mention cello. Are you a Yo Yo Ma fan? For some reason Jello comes to mind. Oh. Sure. It rhymes with cello as does yellow and fellow and bellow and hello and mellow! Oy vey! Yikes. Gadzooks. See how my mind works? How do I stop it?  ARRGGHH. Thank you for your reply and Happy Wednesday to thy! :)

    Yes, it's similar, but fiddle faddle isn't as "burnt" tasting as cracker jacks.  I remember when I was around 19 or 20 that Fiddle Faddle put out a coupon for a free package of their product if you bought one first.  All you had to do was attach the UPC from a package of fiddle faddle to the coupon and then redeem it at the store for another package.  Well, I'd gotten hold of an entire pad of those coupons, so after I'd purchased the original package, I used the UPC off it to get a free package.  Then I used the UPC off the free package to get yet another free package - and so on.  Let's just say I ate so much fiddle faddle that summer that I got sick of it (and I still had coupons leftover).

    I have a bit of a Dr. Seuss mentality myself.... 


    There once was a man named Zellow, 
    who came from the country of Quellow.
    Although Zellow was always quite mellow,

    He was quite a rather odd fellow.
    Whenever Zellow would eat Jell-O,
    His skin would turn a bright yellow. 

    Now, I wonder what would happen to this mellow yellow fellow, Zellow from Quellow,
    If he ever decided to eat a marshmallow?

    (No, I'm not a Yo Yo Ma fan, I just like words.  Fiddles are short while cellos are quite large.  You never hear someone being called "fit as a cello".)

    True. But what is it exactly that makes a fiddle fit? I'm gonna ask. I think in rhymes all the time and I get caught up in loops and I can't get out. AARRGGHH! My brain automatically goes through the alphabet and rhyming words stick out. I don't know what that's all about! Have you heard Yo Yo Ma play? It doesn't move you or bring to tears m'dear? Thank you for your reply Shuhak!  :)

    No, I've never heard him play.
