Watermellon Mysteries

If you got'em, share em.


That the tiny seed can create such a watery delight!

I heard that you get pregnant by eating too many watermelon seeds.

I thought Torley was looking a bit pudgy

a great way to enjoy watermelon is to inject it with vodka. hee hee even if its awful after a few bites ya won't care!

OMG!

I thought ya went blind!

Only when you inject them with vodka and eat 'em.

Pop a hole in the sucker, plug the hole with the neck of an open bottle of Everclear 190 proof licka, let it sit for a few hours, then roll it 1/4 turn and let it sit for a few more to spread all that 95% alcohol goodness around in there...mmmm...mmmm....Just don't blame me when you wake up nekked in a pasture with a darth vader tattoo on your butt.

Does this mean I can blame you for the one I got of an Ewok on my ummmm... ?

Let's just say it's an Ewok Celebration...

This is my Ewok, this is my gun, this is for fighting, this is for fun..

No, I think I look pudgy 'cuz I'm carrying Jadey's baby.

Hehehe.

Really tho... I have been told that watermelons are to me what real estate is to Donald Trump.


My love affair (a torrid one...) with watermelons began at an early age, and one of the mysteries for me continues to be those exotic Japanese "cubed" ones, which I have not tasted yet. I hear they taste the same, but are shaped differently -- so... that just blows my mind. I also have seen the price tags on those things and they are not the most economical.

Maybe someday I will have a watermelon greenhouse and smoke and toke on the sweet juice to get high. Grow my own cubed ones and all sorts of other shaped ones too. Maybe I should live in a watermelon house. Maybe that'd be a good SL dwelling. *ponders*

Maybe... just maybe...

and when it cannot be definitively answered, it is a mystery. Hence, mah watermelon mystery!!

Rock on.

You mix vodka and watermellon, and shoot up on it? Geez, and I thought Torley was the watermellon fiend around here.

I imagine Torley's cubed watermellons are grown in boxes, such that they take the shape of their containers, very much like the cubical tomatoes that I've seen from time to time.

Watermellon?
Where's Earthmellon, Windmellon. Firemellon and Ether mellon?

Or is Firemellon the one loaded up with booze?

Don't forget Voidmellon!

30secondrule

Voidmellon. Heh heh heh. Sounds like a supervillian. Or his comical sidekick.

Have you ever encountered a hissing watermellon? That's a very, very frightening experience.

What happens when Watermelons Hiss? Well, it's not a pretty sight:


The faint of heart should not view this picture.

When you get excited, does the Ewok turn into a Wookiee? hehehe

WATERMELON HISTORY

Watermelon is thought to have originated in the Kalahari Desert of Africa.

The first recorded watermelon harvest occurred nearly 5,000 years ago in Egypt and is depicted in Egyptian hieroglyphics on the walls of their ancient buildings. Watermelons were often placed in the burial tombs of kings to nourish them in the afterlife.

From there, watermelons spread throughout countries along the Mediterranean Sea by way of merchant ships.

By the 10th century, watermelon found its way to China, which is now the world's number one producer of watermelons.

The 13th century found watermelon spread through the rest of Europe via the Moors.

In 1615 the word "watermelon" first appeared in the English dictionary, according to John Mariani in his book, "The Dictionary of American Food & Drink."

Southern food historian, John Egerton, believes watermelon made its way to the United States with African slaves as he states in his book, "Southern Food."

The United States currently ranks fourth in worldwide production of watermelon. Forty-four states grow watermelons with Florida, Texas, California, Georgia and Arizona consistently leading the country in production.

Watermelon has become a year-round staple in households the world over. With more countries than ever importing and exporting watermelons, it is easy to find the sweet, healthy and refreshing fruit any time of the year.
