Attacked By A Watermelon

Yesterday I was driving along minding my own business and all the sudden I was almost attacked by a watermelon. Yeah that's right a watermelon.

There was a truck carrying a shit ton of those bastards. I mean piled super high. And all the sudden one jumped off the truck and came flying toward the hood of the Green Bean. I had to pull some fancy nascar shit to keep from getting hit.

I am assuming when they hit the hood of a car they bounce causing a huge dent before exploding all over the place. Have there been scientific studies on this?

Yesterday a member of the Little Old Lady Society (known here on out as LOLS) stopped by and brought cookies. And they were super yummy. She also warned me about the yard again. Not to cut stuff down and all. I told wes its going to be about 2 years or so before we can take out some of the flower beds.

OMG LOLS that is funny. I would just buy some weed be gone and spray the whole the whole yard down.

Flying watermelons would be pretty dangerous.

As for the yard...pave that shit into a parking lot ;D

Have to agree with Hammer. Landscaping is nothing but a huge pain in the donkey balls.

Hmmmmm, Alabama + Watermelon truck. I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere. Luckily for you, I'm too tired to find it :)

a least you have neighbors kind enough to bring over cookies - just make sure they're not laced w/ whatever the LOLS is high on.

That's pretty arrogant that one of the LOLS thinks she can tell you what to do or NOT do with YOUR yard! I say get a bunch of those pink flamingos and fill the gardens with those instead.

Little old ladies can be sneaky..."Here have a cookie and by the way,..." do this and don't do that. I would've given her back the cookies and followed Hammer's advice. :)

I bought my first house from a little old lady too. She also had very nice flower gardens and had the lawn professionally manicured. She never threatened me about keeping it up...but I was very nervous about the day she drove by and saw that it had all gone to pot! Sorry...no green thumb here! :0)

Good job it wasn't a truck load of coconuts, your Green Bean would have been shredded.

As for little old ladies hinting about your garden. I can think of a few hints to give back, but I am just too polite to say!!!
