@medieval_illuminations It takes pretty strong hip adductors to hold a watermelon like that, regardless of whether there are holes through your feet.
@libroraptor @medieval_illuminations Just can’t remember exactly where a big nude watermelon party is prophisised in the scriptures….?
@adrianthorne @libroraptor @medieval_illuminations but what are they all buried in? 🤮
