Okay, usual base rules apply for legal purposes and such.

For this one, must have a Beckerhead number in place...

Get this done by ... Friday May 27 at 23:00 hours

Your prize: a KaBar Big Brother with Kraton Handles - just the tool for carving summer delights...

#

The thing: get a watermelon of appropriate size. Using your Becker(s), carve the husk up and make yourself a helmet. You may add some feathers or other accoutrements but keep it moderate - we gots to see your melon.

Now, entries must show you wearing your helmet. Beckers used must be in photo. Potential bonus points for creative attire. Keep it sexay, don't want to be like those ESEE guys. Also potential points for the more people you get wearing helmets. They shall be legion. Wouldn't hurt your score if you include pictures of the building process, and of course, if you have any, the aftermath of watermelon helmet hair. No power tools :)

mmm, go!

You should post your singular entry here, you may chat here but keep it down, esp if you are not participating. You are encourage to keep your entry up to date in case anyone trumps you. Spandex is a privilege, not a right. and don't be emailing or PMing me with questions. He hates that :D

Bladite, count me in. Hopefully I can find a big enough melon for my freakishly large head.

The front of my shirt has a mixture of watermelon and beer spilled all over it. It was a mess of a saturday night, but in the best way possible.

Very nice, brother. Anytime the pot needs to be stirred, Nadz is there with a big fuggin' spoon! :D
 
As one of the tenets of survival is to work with what you have available, it just so happened that there was a smallish melon already in the Guillotine family food stores. Here's how it went down:

Note: All carving was done with the BK2, which scoffed at the melon as it was defiling it (unlike some other brands of knife...). I was going for a viking pirate thing, so I wore my most appropriate viking shirt, hi-vis for luaus during hunting season. The BK-11 in my teeth in that one shot was just for looks, it didn't do any stunts during this contest entry. Looking at the shots, I guess it's less of a viking pirate and more of a deranged madman in a bathroom, but hey, c'est la vie. Sorry I had to snap my own shots: My lady would probably send me off to the mental hospital if she saw what I was doing :D

Enjoy!

Wal-Marts is one of the two places I checked. (Actually, two Wal-Marts. And our other grocery chain.)
 
I went to a Fred Meyers, Whole Foods, New Seasons, WalMart, and I called Trader Joes and a few produce only places here in town and now one has watermelons yet.
