Default Sad Sad heartbreak

Uhgg I can't believe it

I picked this big boy yesterday.


I then remembered that Rosco grew one down under last Winter. I knew it would be close.
Go look in the research and development forum under Sad Sac, the very first post will have Rosco's entry..groan

I have a few more coming maybe I'll get lucky yet.

Er, what with all this stuff about testosterone in the sporting news these days, is there any reason to suspect a massuse with a steroid cream and a grudge, or a couple few shots a J.D., or, well, no other way to say it, I guess,



Both?

I picked my first Sad Sac yesterday, thought it might rain (missed us again, drat!) and was afraid it might start to split. It looks like a set of conjoined twins, and one side is ripening much faster than the other.

Bully, it's too big for my scale, so I need to stop at Office Max today and get a higher power scale!

(Not to worry, all you contestants, I only have a baby food scale that only goes up to 1 lb.) My husband suggested I cut it in half and weigh each side separately, but I don't want to be accused of cheating. Don't think I can beat the top weight, but is there a prize for the tomato best representing the name?

ddsack,

I keep forgetting to tell you how much I love that picture.
I think I'll get tee shirts made.
Of course I'll have to pay for them with proceeds from Duane's cut

Come to think of it Bull, wasn't there a post
some months back about a chest-NUT sling
or a wal-NUT hammock or some such device??

Maybe this is the very fruit that was intended
for that support apparatus....JJ61
