If you wanna get your fatass into shape (and you <em>know<\/em> you do), I&#8217;ve some totally great news. All you need to do is follow this great new workout routine. I discovered it only last month, and have since rigorously tested its seaworthiness; &#8217;til I am now happily able to report that it works goddam <em>famously<\/em>. I call it &#8220;The Watermelon Workout&#8221; because&#8230;well, see if you can guess why.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It works like this:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First, get your fatass out of bed, and hoof it to the store.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now, purchase a nice, workout-sized Watermelon. None o&#8217; this personal-\/mini-watermelon bullshit; I&#8217;m talkin&#8217; a nice fifteen- to twenny-pound fruit, yo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then, carry it on home. (I suppose a bit of rolling would even be acceptable&#8230;but only a bit, mind!) At first, you&#8217;ll find this a right challenging endeavour &#8212; especially if you&#8217;re doing some one-armed carrying (remember to use your non-dominant arm, too, beeyatch) as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You&#8217;ll soon find yourself capable (not to mention daydreaming) of even more. And so you can! Indeed, this is where the fun comes in. Time to get the blood <em>really<\/em> pumping with some watermelon curls, <em>one-<\/em>armed curls, overhead lifts, <em>behind<\/em>-the-head lifts, rows &#8212; you name it. Hell, I&#8217;ve even added some throws to my routine! Be as creative as you dare! (But don&#8217;t let your walking-pace flag too much, sucka.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Best part of all: once you and the melon have arrived safely home, you are <em>allowed<\/em> (it&#8217;s not only a workout, but free diet advice, too, y&#8217;see&#8230;) <em>to eat it<\/em>. <em>In its entirety<\/em>, even, if you like. What other workout lets you eat a frickin&#8217; <em>watermelon<\/em> at the end? Fuckin&#8217; <em>none<\/em>, I&#8217;ll wager!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By the way: no fair living a block (or what) from the store. Or else, use a <em>different<\/em> store to the store located a block (or what) from you household.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oh, <em>also<\/em> by the way: killerest watermelon-opening method is as follows. Just up and <em>drop<\/em> it from on high. I mean, not from the top of the fucking <em>Vatican<\/em> or some shit; just a nice-easy waist height drop will usually do fine. You only want to crack it open; not get all David Letterman on its dimpled ass. It&#8217;s great &#8217;cause you not only open the fucker right on up without need of locating a carving knife; but the process also acts to convert the flesh from smooth to chunky. Easy bite-sized pieces, in other words.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But is The Watermelon Workout as advertised? Fuckin&#8217; too right it works &#8212; if you <em>do<\/em> the work. No pain, no gain, motherfucker! (I mean, don&#8217;t give yourself a hernia or nothin&#8217;&#8230;) <em><\/em>BUT, while you&#8217;re feelin&#8217; that burn, just always remember: delectitude (a word?) awaits!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Too bad fuckin&#8217; Kubrick&#8217;s dead; or I&#8217;d have him do up a video of the workout, and then the World would <em>know<\/em> what this shit is all about. Also too bad that it wasn&#8217;t discovered before Wesley Willis&#8217; passing; or head surely be alive &#8212; and <em>thriving<\/em>, to boot &#8212; down to this very day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Well, no matter. It&#8217;s The Watermelon Workout all the same, and it&#8217;s gonna turn you from a fatass into a freakin&#8217; <em>herculoid<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;The Watermelon Workout&#8221; &#8212; its time has come. <em>Your<\/em> time has come.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_517\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/durianapocalypse.net\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/watermelon.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-517\" class=\"size-full wp-image-517\" title=\"watermelon\" src=\"http:\/\/durianapocalypse.net\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/watermelon.jpg\" alt=\"Get your fatass into shape with The Watermelon Workout.\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/durianapocalypse.net\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/watermelon.jpg 400w, https:\/\/durianapocalypse.net\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/watermelon-300x240.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-517\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Its time has come.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check this out.
