I've often wondered why Watermelons… thanks for sharing… my Dad also tell tales of Robin Hood Watermelons and how he and friends used to rob this one particular patch in a very small town in Oklahoma and the farmer would shot his rifle at the young boys… once grown in the Navy my Dad went to visit this father and apology for his poor behavior… the farmer told my Dad that he always shot the rifle in the complete oppisite direction from where the boys were looting his crops… the farmer smiled and said he enjoyed the attention and knew the boys would share the prize with their friends and family… with a tear in his eye, the farmer went on to say it was a sad season when the young boys grew up and did not visit the Pauls Valley Watermelon patch ever again. Watermelons rule!!!!
That's a great lead in to a movie… Kinda like the original Star Wars films, 'cept this lead in can be on ~ watermellons!
Maybe call it:
Watermelon Wars ~ or
All things Watermelon ~ or
Everything I wanted to know, I learned as a Watermelon ~ or
Why not a Watermellon? ~ or
a documentary on - Watermelons across the Metaverse ~ or
a self help book titled - "Embrace the Watermelon within"
so alas, I (we) await the rain of watermelon drops…and a movie, or a book, one can have watermelon hopes ~ right?
@Pituca: Aw! You're very welcome, I should've answered this so concisely long ago.
@Mimzy: Now that's a great watermelon story!
@Sierra: Haha, yes… all of those titles are beautiful. I may have to write a self-help book someday, gosh knows where I'm going with my productivity columns. I actually have a song I wrote awhile ago called "Just Anothr Watermelon Day".
