Rumor has it that a it was broadsided by a Churches Chicken Truck.
This would have been infinitely more fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1d7i3i0LLI
The horror, the horror.
Racism?
LOL, I was going to post, “Somewhere, Gallgaher is smiling.”
“...in Sugar Land”
Gene Wolfe once wrote a sci fi story based on the fact that someone heard him talking about Sugar Land, TX and thought he was talking about some imaginary place, like the Land of Oz. Called “The Eyeflash Miracles”.
The Sierra Club, Earth Liberation Front, and Greenpeace expressed their condolences for the tragedy. Stated former senator and climate activist al-Gore: “Never has so much green-on-the-outside-red-on-the-inside been destroyed in a single incident. We mourn the loss of our fellow watermelons.”
Gallagher! my first thought too. “the ghost of Gallagher rides again” would be a fitting video tribute for the master of the watermelon with this scene as the final credit. remembering those days fondly. still have seeds to prove I was there!
Amazing ... how does one collide with the only roadside edifice for miles whilst on a super-slab?
Anyway, just herd some deer over to the site. They’ll clean it up in no time. I had a friend who placed a just purchased watermelon on her front porch while she put her other groceries away. It took her 10 minutes tops. When she went to retrieve the melon it was gone ... just a few seeds marked the place.
Smashed Watermelons would make a great name for a head banger band.
Time for the watermelon crawl!
