Meloncholera Melancholy ?..............
Minorities hit hardest.
Can we do this to OUR watermelons, the enviro-coms?
>> forchlorfenuron
Mmmmm... just the MENTION of forchlorfenuron makes MY mouth water.
And then there is this:
(And before someone asks, I will post this until the idiots in government alter this insane and now dangerous UNILATERAL trade policy with China and the fools in the multinationals STOP exporting the production of EVERYTHING to China and bring those jobs home.
As you think about that, recall that in ancient times, the Romans and others would catapult disease-riddled corpses over the walls of cities they besieged to sicken and kill the enemy. The Chinese know that history even if we obviously have forgotten it. Get my drift there?
On a recent visit to China, a friend spotted this ad in a Beijing newspaper. He sent me the photo with a translation of the ad copy.
Yes, you can now join the millions of happy and prosperous Chinese citizens taking advantage of the growing numbers of American and Western multinational corporations outsourcing their production to the hard-working and industrious people of China. This outsourcing has now spread to their food supplies and ingestible items. Since these firms pay us for gross weight and this new weight will be pretty gross and the stupid American government only spot-checks imported items in these categories (they just got lucky on the anti-freeze thing), it has opened an entirely new opportunity which our beloved Chairman is offering to any Chinese citizen willing to do a little of what the foolish Americans call grunt work.
Installing one of these state-of-the-art food additive production facilities behind YOUR hovel is as simple as clipping the coupon below and sending it to the address shown. Your production plant will be shipped to you in 4 to 6 weeks. Supplies are limited so dont fart around. ACT NOW!!
These silly Americans have an expression we have borrowed and modified to describe this new and exciting venture: Dont give me any s**t.
Our motto will be We wont GIVE you any s**t. But well SELL it to you fools at a really great price.
Better yet, we convince them to COME HERE to pick it up and save us the shipping costs.
AND LOOK FOR A NEW DROP-DEAD MONEY-MAKER COMING SOON. SOYLENT YELLOW PROMISES TO BE BIG!!
AND YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT THE CHERY PERSONAL VEHICLE TO BE IMPORTED BY CHRYSLER IS SIMPLY A HORIZONTALLY MODIFIED VARIATION OF THE VERTICAL UNIT SHOWN ABOVE. WE SIMPLY SLAP AN ENGINE AND SOME WHEELS ON THAT PUPPY AND OFF SHE GOES! AMERICAS VAST ILLEGAL POPULATION OUGHT TO SNAP THEM UP LIKE TACOS.
Wet weather would have done that without the chemical boost. The numbers involved is what makes it news.

A farmer had a field of watermelons. Annoyed that people were stealing them, he put up a sign stating “One of these watermelons is poisoned”. The thefts stopped. Proud of his effective cleverness, he wandered over to the sign, looked at it, and smiled with pride. Then he stopped smiling. The “one” was crossed out, replaced with the word “two”.
Exploding Chinese Watermelons is a great name for a punk band
OK. Professor Wang seems to get an awful lot of attention on FR.
Another good reason to get the garden beds finished soon, so I can plant our own watermelons there :)
I’m trying to grow watermelons this year...heirloom Moon & Stars. But the way things have been this spring I’ve got a better chance at a mud farm. No sun, way too much rain. Regional farmers are already talking big price increases unless things improve soon.
Good luck.
