Yes, eating a microwave would taste better.

Cantaloupe is by far the best.

Having said all that, as a kid and all the way up until about 3 -4 years ago I could not stand water melon, now I think it tastes great.

Holy shit, the timing on this post is incredible. Started watching Resident Alien last week, just saw this episode last night! I’m not going to call the show great, but it’s really good and has me LOL at least once an episode. The actor is incredible, I don’t know how he constantly looks so awkward and makes bizarre expressions all the time. It’s like Northern Exposure, but the misfit doctor in a small town is an alien in human form instead of a nebbishy Brooklyn Jew. If you are looking for a light, funny hour long show, I recommend it.

That was a great show. Secretary is played by Paula Pell, who wrote for SNL for about 20 years. She’s great.

Rereading I feel bad for not supporting Johnnie on his watermelon take. Has to be the fruit the most people would claim to like that they never actually intentionally eat. We get one per year and would be better off just cutting it up and dumping it straight into the garbage rather than waiting a week in between.

This is maybe a region thing because watermelon is huge here and we eat it all the time. Also a watermelon margarita is badass and I may be ordering one later!

I wish I liked watermelon. It looks great and people go nuts for it in the summer. But nope. Although I do like watermelon flavored things. There's just some chemical or something in all melons that I can't stand. Mangoes have it too (although dried mangoes are fine).

Prickly pear, my dude. Prickly pear.

And watermelon will just never be good. Unless you cover that shit in a ton of chamoy and tajin.

And even then. It's still watermelon.

She is awesome. I'm on season 2 and the show gets better and better as they introduce more characters or expand on exsisting ones.

I'm a blueberry fan...but it's one of those fruits where it is very disappointing when you come across subpar ones.
