You mean those little white goodies you roast over a campfire?
you’re mistaken
marshmallow
are the two words descibing opposite moods, words often used by hippies and Valley Girls
Sorry – when you say Harsh/mellow, you’re thinking of the German director of Grizzly Man, Fitzcaraldo, etc.
Now wait a sec. I was pretty sure that
Herzog
was that part of old Yugoslavia linked up with Bosnia
No, he’s the former manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. The place you’re thinking of is herpes zoster
I always thought is was ironic that Elvis would use that 2001 music for his grand entrance when it was originally titled “Also Sprach that guy”
No, no, no, that’s the famous masked Mexican swordsman.
Zarathustra
No, Zorro was the Japanese fighter plane of WWII.
And here all this time I had been thinking that
Zero
was one of the Marx brothers. Hmmmm.
No, that’s the kind of lighter that uses liquid fuel, the ones that people learn to do cool tricks with.
Ah, yes, the same thing that Uncle Remus sings about in that old Disney live-action and animation movie Song of the South with Brer Rabbit and all those critters.

OFF TOPIC QUESTION
SERIOUSLY
Does anybody know if this game has some “official” name?
Have you ever played it and called it something specific?
I ask, because it was a long time after I learned how to play Botticelli that I learned it had that name. I even found a book with that title for a whole bunch of games like it. For all I know, this game is in that book, but it’s been a while since I saw the book around here.
Back to the game…
I really had to dig into the attic of my memory for this one, but I finally remembered that
Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah
was a hair gel advertised extensively on TV in the '60’s. I figured it had gone out of business, but someone told me that White Rain had bought the rights to it from Gillette, and you can order it online.
I had to do similar head-scratching and (more relevantly) some web searching to see that
Dippity Doo
is the product name for some Nabisco (if it ain’t them it ought to be) product with those little cheese tidbits and other stuff you’d find in Chex Mix. It’s good with dips, I hear.
I thought that was the clinical term for double vision.
You got your foods mixed up. Cheeze Doodles stuck a feather in his hat and called macaroni.
Surely you meant
yankee doodle
Which is what you get when the Americans try to rip off Habsburg cuisine.
No, I think you’re thinking of one of DiMaggio’s nicknames.
If memory serves,
yankee clipper
is what they call those barber tools for giving chimps a haircut (not that I’ve seen all that many of them myself)
BTW – the Nabisco snack I was thinking of (and which may be a defunct product no longer available in stores) was Doodads. Cheeze Doodles is close enough so we can go right on ahead.
I also thought of Doo Dads (as the product name is spelled in this thread from another forum). I ate a lot of those during my childhood.
If you’re thinking of
monkey clipper,
I must inform you that that term actually refers to a tree whose scientific name is Araucaria araucaria, and which is considered the hardiest of the conifers.
