I'll try to keep it down to a contented purr -- it was really good watermelon!

When I first heard this I was suspicious that it might be a hoax; what I can say, I must be getting cynical in my old age. But I was not overly surprised when I learned it was for real. There are plenty of people looking for an excuse to be a offended. And the fact that this woman’s precious angle’s team had just been defeated by the opposing team added to her desire to de-legitimize the defeat. To this lady my advise is: Take a chill pill; football is just a stupid game no one should be watching any way.
Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.

Well, that's pretty much the ultimate in "damning with faint praise", isn't it?

Rather like saying, "I really don't like William Hung, but he's head and shoulders above Leonard Cohen"... 8-)

Or, "I really don't like Jerry Lewis, but he's head and shoulders above Adam Sandler..."

Those heads and shoulders ain't all that high... 8-)

I prefer to think of it as the ultimate, well-deserved criticism of Carrot Top.

And FWIW, I think Cohen is far, far better than Hung, and, while I don't really care for either, would watch Jerry Lewis over Sandler.

How can a post be so utterly wrong three times in one sentence?

Close your eyes and just listen; imagining that you have invited wesw over for a bowl of watermelon. All the noise without the cute I imagine.

monkey noises...decorated with caricatures
Why am I 150% sure that the fact that a watermelon was involved was the least important detail in this saga?

Uh wes, I think you've got the wrong end of the stick there...

I believe she's saying that you would have all the noise that Teddy Bear The Porcupine produces without his cuteness... ;)
