(That was fun to type!)<BR/><BR/>The pig thing is definitely "old-school" and un-enlightened.<BR/><BR/>The camp-site was only rented to us one single year - the pool was only one of many problems. It relocated again the next year (and stayed there for a few years before ending up back where it started for a number of years after that).<BR/><BR/>Watch for a visit from me - I'm in a blog-reading kind of mood.sister AEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253107622268200803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22793574.post-70510345086470626692007-07-11T12:40:00.000-04:002007-07-11T12:40:00.000-04:00The idea of greasing a pig seems terrible to me an...The idea of greasing a pig seems terrible to me and very much in the catagory of Animal Abuse! Much better with an inanimate object like the wateremelon...to my way of thinking...I am amazed thatthe Camp Owners would let their "pool" get so filthy that it would take days and days to get it into shape.....Pool Cover, anyone?<BR/><BR/>I'm here from Michele's today and it is lovely to Meet & Greet you!OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22793574.post-1263938445332469552007-07-09T11:44:00.000-04:002007-07-09T11:44:00.000-04:00Clare - thank you.Patois - once I started writing ...Clare - thank you.<BR/><BR/>Patois - once I started writing this down, I remembered more details than I thought.sister AEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253107622268200803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22793574.post-40245253723959803332007-07-08T23:41:00.000-04:002007-07-08T23:41:00.000-04:00Oh, of course there would be detailed rules somewh...Oh, of course there would be detailed rules somewhere out there.

Thanks. I did a Google Image search of "greased watermelon" and it turned up a lot more pictures than I would have thought.<BR/><BR/>Rob - It was a lot of fun. I'm glad you like it.<BR/><BR/>BW - Me too, thanks. I think I was lucky to be rewarded for effort a lot when I was a kid. Perhaps that's why I what my colleagues call "an overdeveloped sense of responsibility."<BR/><BR/>I did a Google search of "greased watermelon" after I posted this and discovered that some folks have actually written up explicit rules for this kind of thing. Personally, I think the no pushing anyone underwater is about all that is necessary.sister AEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253107622268200803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22793574.post-78035692718279951402007-07-08T09:25:00.000-04:002007-07-08T09:25:00.000-04:00I think I might have to go grease me a watermelon ...I think I might have to go grease me a watermelon and give it to my nieces and nephew in the pool. That ought to occupy them for a while!<BR/><BR/>Great post - I could definitely see the visuals of the watermelon game, and the cleaning out of the pool. I love it when hard work is rewarded. :)Maree Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187502761963866468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22793574.post-89264057681324004872007-07-08T04:55:00.000-04:002007-07-08T04:55:00.000-04:00Enjoyed the post...
