come fiddle with my riddle ?

Published on June 22, 2004 By mignuna In Just Hanging Out

i have the strength of sixty men, i'm over ten feet tall
i'm footed, though i never move, it's said that i can fall

in grand ballrooms i can be seen holding up affairs
and i can bring the house down if i crack up near the stairs

... what am i ?

if you know the solution to this riddle, please make me very happy by posting it

... but if you do post the answer, you must post the next riddle to be guessed by the next successful person, and so on. or so i hope.

course, the whole thing could get ignored, too. how embarrasing that would be. hehe. oh, well ... the risks one will take in order to achieve linguistic banter these days apparently know no bounds !!!. somebody guess, dammit

I was thinking the same as Dyl...I am hopeless at this kind of thing, hence the no reply BUT I'm just letting you know I'm here and I love you enough to answer, just not a very good answer, hehe!
