LIS: Well, that could have been worse.
IAN: Um. How?
LIS: Nothing got into the pantry.
IAN: I dropped a watermelon that we didn't know had started to ferment. And it EXPLODED. All over the kitchen floor.
LIS: Still . . .
IAN: It landed on the vacuum cleaner. There are little bits of exploded fermented watermelon stuck in the wheels of the vacuum cleaner, and I can't get them out. Yeah, it could have been worse, but we have to be really creative to come up with ways HOW.

My sympathies. Do you have seasonal allergies or something like that, causing you not to notice the fermenting watermelon? Or were you just distracted?

There are little bits of exploded fermented watermelon stuck in the wheels of the vacuum cleaner, and I can't get them out.

Not knowing the design of your vacuum cleaner or the size of the wheels, I'm not sure if the best approach would involve a damp cloth and a brush, a lot of q-tips, or removing the wheels and rinsing them.

It was in the fridge, and wrapped well. And it wasn't VERY fermenting.

Fermented exploding watermelon sounds very exciting but only if it happened not in the house on a rainy day.

Rejoice and take cheer!

At least now you'll know what an exploding watermelon looks like in case you read old issues of Double Visions.

Good times, good times.

That's right! We grabbed that sucker for "Slave Girls of the Planet Phallacio"! Man, those were good times.

Look on the bright side: "Exploding Fermented Watermelon" would be a good name for a band.
