Marc will grow up to be a great summer treat. Yum. :D:D
Kamikaze Watermelon! *plop*
[QUOTE=TropicalV2;14800889]I fed Marc some water this morning, and he's doing fine. He's starting to settle into his new home. He's under a lot of stress from the move, but I would be too if I was uprooted from my place of living. In other news, I found a recon team of ants inside Marc's home, but didn't pay much attention to them. They're just ants, what could they possibly do?[/QUOTE] Ants like sweetness. Marc is going to soon be made of said sweetness. [b]Beware.[/b]

This is great Matt. I like how you said no weeds in sight but there are scores of weeds.

I can't believe one month has passed so quickly. I've been so swamped the last month, I've not had any time to update Marc's status, how he's doing, and how he's growing. First let me just say Marc is growing like a vine. Well, he is a vine, which would mean that he's growing at the normal speed of a vine. Anyway just a week after I posted his groundbreaking, he started spreading out in his new place and growing bristles all over himself. He told me it was to protect from ants and whatnot. He also had me take down the wall surrounding him, because it didn't give him enough to grow. The florida weather is good for watermelons. It'll rain one minute, and the sun will be shining the next, giving him a perfect balance. In other news, I think Marc wants to be a comedian; the other day I was sitting with him out in the rain and he said "How long does it take for a watermelon to screw in a lightbulb?" so I obviously asked him how long, and he said "Six months, as a watermelon would have to expand his vines up to the light-bulb." I told him I didn't think it was funny, but he told me you had to be a watermelon to understand the humor. Anyway, here's a nighttime picture I took a few minutes ago; [img]http://i43.tinypic.com/2vuzt3a.jpg[/img] [img]http://i42.tinypic.com/qsqi6v.jpg[/img] Also an unrelated update in my life, I've recently assembled a platoon of delicious IBC rootbeer in my fridge. I couldn't possibly name each and every one of them individually, so I just gave the whole bunch of them a single name. [i]The Brew Crew[/i]. How slick does that sound? I got a huge case of them at Costco, and just popped open the first one. Yum.

Cool. How much did marc cost you?
Yay marc Just don't forget to water him occasionally and feed him some fertilizer every few weeks I remember this thread
I haven't fed him fertilizer since I planted him, and he won't stop bitching about it. I've got a whole bag in my garage so I'll get around to it this weekend.
[QUOTE=Imperials ^^;14792393]Wow, retarded thread.[/QUOTE] Says the faggot who DOESN'T have a watermelon plant
Truly one of the best threads I have seen to date. Also, Marc has grown cosiderably, even without fertilizer.
[QUOTE=Strongbadmw;14791869]What exactly is that wall going to protect it from? Hopefully it's just for show :P[/QUOTE] The Floods.
Maybe it's just me and you, OP, but I find sentimental value in naming inanimate objects.
Hey my name is Marc too. :)
Why did you name a watermelon plant after me?
Well, now you have one defender in case some zombies want to snack on your brains. And a damn good one, too. [img]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/plantsvszombies/images/f/f9/MelonPult2.png[/img]
What the fuck, i plated a watermelon about a month ago and the bastard refuses to grow more than 5 inches tall :(
Garry, please make this Marc the official Facepunch mascot. He's a melon, GMod has strong ties to melons, and he has a [I]name[/I]. Do it, you know you want to!

Op is black. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Racism." - ventilated))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=runrundave;15288862]Op is black.[/QUOTE] Care to elaborate? I don't see the reference.
[QUOTE=IceCKryss;15289229]Care to elaborate? I don't see the reference.[/QUOTE] Some people say that black people love watermelons.
Great idea. You better not tell Marc that you want his ovaries right away though.
you know if you put a box around the watermelon when it is growing, youll get a square watermelon (box needs to be strong)
