Watermelons

[Catdaddy]

My wife tried a new variety called Ice Box watermelons. She wanted a smaller variety.
I think she succeeded.

Those are figs not watermelons.

Those would have made good ammo during the wrist rocket wars of the '70's...

I wouldn't eat that........A REAL watermelon is big and red on the inside.

I know folks eat melon different ways. Some use salt. Some prefer the sweetness with no salt. I saw a video yesterday where a guy was putting lime or lemon juice (I can't remember) on his watermelon and swore to the taste. I've eaten it every way possible... to include soaked in a cooler full of PJ. I like watermelon as it comes off the vine, but that lemon/lime juice has me intrigued.

Green gum balls right off the tree. The ones one the ground never flew right. The sound of them hitting flesh from a modified rocket with inner tube bands was very satisfying. Dried out ones never flew straight. Many an across the neighborhood rival gang kid quit and went home with a booger barn full of snot and watery eyes. If Daniel had mine and a rock, Goliath wouldn’t have ever stepped on the battlefield.

How about the weirdos putting mustard on them?

We had BB gun wars. Bottle rocket wars. Kill the man with the ball. Throw big chunky dirt clods from a freshly subsoiled field...

Green chinaberries always made good ammo for me.

Haven't seen/heard of that...

We had horse chestnuts.

Magnolia buds will leave a welt if thrown hard enough.

All those too. Bottle rocket wars got shut down when a kid caught fire from an illegal Roman candle.

And spiral like a football

Cousins and I had a many dirt clod wars. I've hit them with plenty of rotten maters too.

A slingshot with green chinaberries killed many a sparrow and mockingbirds in my neighborhood.

A chuck of watermelon rine to the back will take you down.

A green pinecone will break up any neighborhood war.

Yes it will. A friend down the street took one to the eye. The pine cone war was over after that.
