Look, I don't want to be sexist here, but I'm guessing that no woman has ever even attempted to break this record before.

He must have one heck of a headache.
Also, didn't The Smashing Melons open for the B-52's in 79?

True dat, cg. Also, the lady who smashes beer cans with her boobs. THAT's gotta hurt.

The word ,"why",keeps popping into my head.

Wasn't Smashing Watermelons one of the other NAFRBs that they were considering before they went with Smashing Pumpkins?

I wonder which head he was using?
For some reason the movie "Real Genius", and hammering nails through 2X4s, comes to mind here.

I say melons are to appreciated, admired, and tastefully enjoyed...What a waste! ;)

What a melon head.

There was actually a WORLD RECORD for this bozo to break in the first place...?
Crikey.

I'm wondering how many watermelons he picked before this idea popped into his head. For some reason that old excedrin commercial keeps going through my mind. I think it showed a cartoon throbbing brain. A woman wouldn't do this because watermelons are sticky and would be a nightmare to get out of our hair and clothes.

The world is not quite as messed up as you think, Wes.
"John Allwood, 29, a melon picker, from Queensland, Australia, broke his own world record which he set during the 2007 festival, smashing 40 melons in a minute."

and as if that were not enough, melon skiing followed the smashing. Quite the day.

I would have made a HUGE batch of Melontinis.

*perks up*
Did someone say, "Huge melons"?
Posted by: random thunking | February 23, 2009 at 03:10 PM
Yawn. This would have been a lot more impressive if he had been squeezing them between his butt cheeks.

Can not but agree with previous authors. I fully support it.

I do not know how relevant to this blog. A lot of talk but little that is specifically useful.
However, with the last author I agree.
