cyrena,

Almost missed your comment, thanks to Rube.  I screwed up this season and did not plant any watermelons.  Most people miss my connotations, thanks for being there so it was not wasted.

Forget about watermelons----use Alex Rodriguez’s formula and mix Viagra with Kabbalah (Madonna style)and you’ll surely have a spiritual revelation!!!!!

Big seeds, eh Leefeller?

I prefer the seedless variety myself, but of course that’s just because I’m lazy. (which means I give up the superior taste in your species) When I was much younger, my dad would always ‘de-seed’ all of our fruit for us, and cut it into nice cubes or something close, and we didn’t have to bother with the seeds. (surprised we didn’t turn out to be huge brats..actually, my sister and my mom are still sort of ‘bratish’ - not me of course. )

Then he’d take the larger ones, (seeds) like the peach or apricot seeds to work with him, and use the machines there to make rings and other pieces of ‘jewelery’. I’m tellin’ ya, we thought we were really ‘hot stuff’.

But, he’s not so into de-seeding our fruit anymore, so that’s why I get the seedless variety now. It’s amazing what advertising can do. They call these little hybrid watermelons ‘personal watermelons’ because they’re so little, and of course they tack on an extra dollar or two to the cost.

Now that this connection has been made to Viagra, (the fastest drug to ever be approved in the history of the FDA) there probably isn’t a watermelon to be found in the whole of my own County. I’ll bet ya a watermelon there won’t be a single one when I go to Trader Joe’s in the morning.

Sex sells.

Fadel,

Thanks for the language lesson.

My favorite watermelon is Simpson Gray, love the flavor, it has large seeds which may be a connotation.

Long live WATERMELON as a friend of love and sex! I am going to start growing my own organic watermelon. If regularly grown watermelon can enhance one’s sexual appetite, imagine what organically grown ones can do!

I like these types of news to the point that I can comment on them in three languages!

!Que viva la sandia, amiga del amor!
