I saw about 6 trailers full of people selling them on the side of the road this weekend.. may have to high jack a trailer or two...

 

[Bladite]

it's not like you're not going to buy a water melon for a picnic right?

or y'all cheap?

 

[samclaymore]

Thumbs up bladite, great idea. Beat my idea for a round two.

 

[Tdhurl1103]

I'm kinda glad I didn't make round one......haha.

 

[mountainmist]

I'm kinda glad I didn't make round one......haha.

LOL

This will be a fun conversation with my Mom.

Me: Hey Mom, could you pick up two or three watermelons next time you're at the store, please?

Mom: hum, why?

Me: There is a contest in Bladeforums.

Mom: Ok, but why do you need watermelons?

Me: I have to make some viking helmets and stuff.

Mom: Ugh, fine.

Me: Thanks Mom! You're the best!

Lunch time with the Becker's... Since I probably won't get any outdoor cooking in before the cut off I decided to document lunch yesterday...

Started off with enough supplies to make canned tuna fish taste like food..
Mayo, jalapeno mustard, red pepper, garlic dill pickles, hot veggie mix, and some spices... cut everything with my new 14 and mixed it all up in a bowl while I toasted some bread and applied jalapeno jack cheese to the hot toast and some fresh tomato slices... I consolidated some pics so I don't have too many.. plus I like playing with powerpoint, lol..

Put it all together and threw in some BBQ chips.. it was pretty good!

Broke out my trusty 15 to cut up some of the dessert of choice... they are in season and soooo good right now..

Bonus point combo shot... the end

 

[Bladite]

someone just got themselves a lot of points. esp being the first to post anything, but then posted a lot of pictures.

if others don't step up, we'll have to end this one

We are having a bbq on Monday for my son's birthday (which is Tuesday). Will edit this post later with pictures. FYI I have a pretty good sized watermelon that I'm planning to helmet-ize.

Edit: so, the last 48 hours has been amazing. I got to spend an awesome day with my son and welcomed another one into the world. I have only been able to get 1hour 45min of sleep and I figured if I didn't get this done now.. It wouldn't get done. So here is my entry!

We are planning a bbq for my eldest son's birthday. Seeing as I am short on Beckers and the 2 is my favorite (so far) I decided to bring it to the kitchen to complete my task! Thank god the "show your edge" contest ran just before I did this challenge

We start with getting the veggies ready for the BBQ. I diced some lettuce and sliced a few tomatoes.

Then I moved on to my work of art. It started like this;

I gathered my tools and traced my pattern.

I then started thinking of a way to do this with the BK2 because stabbing a watermelon with a 1/4 inch thick blade would just crack / shatter it. So I scored the top of the skin and traced out my pattern again and started just going deeper and deeper. Then I went to the bottom area of the helmet to and started removing chunks so it wouldn't split.

I then removed the entire bottom and started stabbing / scooping with the BK2 and ice-cream scoop. When it was completely emptied I then started cutting out the contours and profiles of the Helmet with the same technique that I used before. After I then used the pieces I removed from the bottom to make my top parts. Then this happened;

Spartan's wished they had a BK2

And just because it can't just look good on the counter. My 12 hour old son Nicholas, a BK2, and an insanely overtired daddy.

Close up of my ugly mug

I'm going to try to edit this again after I start BBQ'ing when the family gets over. No promises as I'll be chasing my other two kids while feeding everybody that comes over. I haven't even had any drugs yet... what made me think this was a good idea haha!

Edit: I got one picture of the bbq

Then this awesomeness happened

My wife and Dad got some great shots too. I'll post when they send them to me.

Cheers,

Tim

Yeah, I don't think anybody's going to beat Lee's post, that was beyond epic.

 

[DerekH]

C'mon people, someone's entry from over three years ago is beating you all!

God rest his soul, GoNadz was truly one of a kind.
