Mell the Watermelon blows up- Rick Moyer's video blog for July 4th, 2010 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vSDQPcol38#)
"Dead Mellon Walking!"
I think I saw another shot come from a nearby grassy knoll....
There's something a whole lot more sinister about shooting the thing than there was about simply blowing it up.
I would have preferred blowing it up with explosives, but they are hard to come by. :)
Is that one of those IED's? (improvised explosive desserts)?
nope, VIAITIC.
[spoiler]Very illegal and in trouble if caught. :)[/spoiler]
It makes me wonder where you got hold of them for the last ten years...
O, perhaps I won't ask :)
I'm not telling, let's just say they came from folks who looked for them. :) I told them what I had planned and they generously supplied my needs. It got a lot harder after 9-11.
