But how many mistakes did the artist have to eat before the final version? Of course, that could be fun too!

Needless to say, we're seedless, I'm assuming.

Wow! I like how the skin of the watermelon is used for the parts of the image in shadow, while the inner rind is used for the highlights. In a couple of those it looks almost like the image was planned around the "stripes" on the watermelon. Incredible.

I wonder how much time you have before the thing is mush?

Looks like some people have *way* too much time on their hands!

Really nice post, and really nice melons. Or vice versa.

I don't know, that Taj Mahal looks kind of sexual...

Hoo Boy! This takes the old radish rose one quantum leap forward. So let me get this straight, you have to be a chef AND a sculpter?!!

It's not so bad when a FPP link here duplicates one from fark, but with an identical headline? I guess it's true that memes resist stratification.

I agree, but you shouldn't be *too* hard on yourself and your fellow mefites, for spending so much time clicking on links when there are people out there with such tremendous talent that they can take a common object and make a breathtaking work of art out of it.

Dude, I don't read Fark. I found the link elsewhere, and yeah, it had the same headline there too... I dare you to think of one that is more fun, and just as concise.

Do some people have nothing better to do than just shit on threads?

(Aww, dammit. I should have done an FPP with Nice Melons, Nice Tits, Nice Jugs all in one. Buggrit, millennium hand and shrimp!)
