Watermelon-Wise

Gallagher, likewise in the front row. Green
melon astringent holds bodily form. Flesh
seems harmless lying on the butcher’s table.
Rank and file juiced up for the battle. “Wizard-
of-Odd” holds high, like Thor, his “Sledge-O-Matic.”

Gallagher smashed watermelons? Was that considered funny? I suppose... if 'The Who' could smash their guitars on stage and attract a large following, anything goes after that... Count me as an old fuddy-duddy, but destruction is not my game. Where's Gallagher? Let me at 'im! lol. ~ Tough talker with his rollator walker

I would not have gone to his show. Give me a splash at seaworld instead…still, that is for the kiddies now.

watermelon sounds so good,,, always look for sugar spots and the long yellow skin against the green meaning it's been sitting in the field longer to make it ripper.

:) Gallagher is a comedian who would smash watermelons and other things in front of his audience.
