THE WORLD’S LARGEST BOWL OF WATERMELON

I’ve never been much of a skateboarder. I tried it a few times as a teenager, but quickly realized that my lack of coordination and brittle bone structure made it a bad idea for a personal pastime. Still, I can appreciate the amazing skills of professional skateboarders, who seemingly defy the laws of gravity with some of their tricks and stunts.

If I were a professional skateboarder (or an amateur skateboarder with even an ounce of skill), I’d probably book a flight to Argentina to skate on the awesome watermelon bowl seen above. The bowl was painted by artist Patricio Pascale.

The image reminds me of another watermelon-loving skater, Mr. J. Slice himself. That’s him on the right. Even though he’s a top-heavy watermelon, he’s a much better skateboarder than I am. Then again, watermelons are tough, thanks to their thick rind, so it kind of makes sense. That also explains why he wears elbow and knee pads, but doesn’t need a helmet.
