No Wonder Ellen Loves Me So

I bet she thinks I know "the secret:"

Hope [Arkansas] watermelon weighs in at record 268.8 pounds.
...
The watermelon, tended and turned throughout the season, topped the scales at 268.8 pounds, breaking the listed record of 262 pounds, said Betty Jo Odom, a bookkeeper at the Farm Store. "It’s been 20 years since we had anything in this range," said Bright, speaking by phone from his father’s home in Hope.

The family has grown large varieties of watermelons since 1973. Bright, a retired school administrator who lives in Arkadelphia, will try to contact the American publishing company for Britishbased Guinness World Records this week to make an official filing of the weigh-in.

I don't like the stuff at all, but the gene seems to have passed on from Ellen to Olivia. "Melon" was one of her first words.

Just cut a few holes in the top, drop O, E, and A in . It'll be rind in roughly 8.7 seconds.
