There are many Australian traditions, sports etc. which I do not have much time for. Many of them make me cringe. But I heard about one today which is awesome. Queensland man, John Allwood, broke a world record yesterday at the Chinchilla Melon Festival in southern Queensland. He headbutted 40 watermelons in 58 seconds.
Fucking brilliant!!! To John - you sir, are a winner.

makes you proud.
What a heart-rending and inspiring achievement. Not since dwarf-throwing became un-p.c. has there been a more noble endeavour than headbutting watermelons. No doubt some pack of lezzy or poncy do-gooding busybodies will take exception to it and have it banned. Maybe the nation will embrace headbutting watermelons, and it's heroes like our John will be responsible for bridging the cultural divide, but more likely it's recognition will be short-lived, not unlike my brief attempt at getting forklift tennis sanctioned by the AIS.
Do you think this is only a summer sport, or maybe he gets them flown in from the northern hemisphere for the off season.
Ohh the Watermelanity.
He probably travels to the Northern hemisphere himself in the off season. Altitude training in Alaska perhaps?
