Well, now you got me wondering...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_plum

They are not plums and they are not blue (or purple). They are little confection balls made with cut up dried fruits combined with chopped nuts and flavored with spices and rolled in sugar. Ya learn somethin' new every day here... even on Christmas!

But I do like your puzzle, Brian. They seem to be very good dancers, with their steps synchronized so well. :-)

Thanks TK. Some of my puzzles are more joke than puzzle.

And I do like your sense of humor, Brian, as well as your delightful puzzles.

We are doing a repeat of Thanksgiving Dinner here for Christmas. The low-fat sugar-free pumpkin pie is in the oven. It tastes good, trust me. Only 100 calories a slice. Next on the list is stuff the turkey. We do everything low fat here so we can have guilt-free seconds! :-)

in a town next to Colorado Springs, they have an annual fruitcake toss. Linda probably knows more about it. I've only heard about it.

lol Colorado Springs sounds like a town with a sense of humor. But if all the town's fruitcakes get tossed what will they do to hold their doors open?

what a delightful puzzle! i love these dancing sugar plums :-) manitou springs sits just to the west of us and yes, they have an annual fruitcake toss. manitou's a very qirky little town. here's a link: http://www.colorado-for-free.com/FreeThingsToDoColorado/FruitcakeToss.htm

Oh. So this is similar pumpkin chunkin Linda. Very Fun. I have made a few trebuchets and catapults and even an air cannon but nothing large enough to toss a pumpkin. Maybe fruitcake is the preferred projectile. what do they weigh 20, 30, 40 pounds? Isn't it the stuff black holes are made of?
