Reminds me of my teen years. We'd build a big bonfire, then throw a watermelon into it when it was good and hot.

When the melon exploded, we'd all run off into the woods in pairs to "get a piece."

(Yes, it's a JOKE. A lame, one, but it's the only watermelon joke I know!)

Discovering too late that a watermelon spiked with vodka had accidentally been served to a luncheon meeting of local ministers, the restaurant’s owner waited nervously for the clerics’ reaction.

“Quick, man,” he whispered to the waiter, “what did they say? “Nothing,” replied the waiter. “They were all too busy slipping the seeds into their pockets.”

So, you go to the grocery story and paw over the yellow watermelons. You ask the produce manager to help you “find me a big one eh!”

About the only that will work is if you knock a hole in it.

Does this work on the ladies as well? If it does, we will skip BBQ and eat water melons for Independence day.

They left out this part ... again ...

Cut a hole in the side of the melon, then stick the handle of a wooden spoon into that hole and mush it around a bit to break up some of the pulp, then put the neck of the bottle of the liquor of your choice into the hole. The amount of booze, depends on the size of the melon.
A nice combo is about a cup of triple sec and a pint of vodka for a small melon.
Punch holes in the rind of the chilled melon, insert straw and enjoy.

Pickled Watermelon Rind
By Diana Rattray, About.com

Shared on our forum by Judy

Ingredients:

* 2 pounds prepared watermelon rind
* 1 tablespoon pickling lime
* 4 cups clear, distilled vinegar
* 1 cup water
* 5 cups sugar
* 1 tablespoon whole allspice
* 1 tablespoon whole cloves
* 6 small pieces cinnamon stick

Preparation:

Prepare and remove all green and pink portion from watermelon rind. cut in small pieces and soak for three hours in lime water made from the lime mixed with one quart of water. Drain and rinse the watermelon rind. Cover with fresh cold water and boil for one hour, or until tender. Drain the watermelon. Cover with a weak vinegar solution (one cup in two cups of water) and allow to stand overnight.

Discard the liquid the next morning and make a syrup of the three cups of vinegar, one cup water, sugar and spices. Heat the syrup to the simmering point. Remove from heat, cover and steep for one hour to extract the flavor from the spices. Add the drained watermelon to syrup and cook gently for two hours or until the syrup is fairly thick. Pack the fruit and syrup in pint-standard canning jars. Adjust the jar lids and bands. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath.

Oh, Baby! That sounds goooooood! :)
