Life lesson: don't bilk funds to buy giant watermelons
Posted on: March 8, 2007Apparently, a dude sucked out govt. money so he could buy an expensive, gargantuan sculpture of a watermelon slice. How much? US$150,000. How big? I gotta say, it's delicious-looking…
Seriously, the dude isn't me, but I'm aware I have serious competition now! (I'd actually prefer we team up and take on Gallagher for his chronic melon abuse, but that's another story…)
Thanks to Peter Haik, cofounder of Metaversatility, who mused that he found the "real me". For the record: stealing fund$ to go all-out on watermelon is the smartest stupid thing I've ever seen.

He's Robin Hood! He steals from the rich and gives…well…to the keepers of giant watermelon.

@Ameshin: I've never seen a catalogue from them, so I presume direct contact with a dealer of some sort might be in order.

Interesting lol that is so ….cool and wrong. Using the funds to buy a giant watermelon… that is an interesting person.

@Ameshin: Yes, I'd like to ask them "Why watermelon?"
