¿Question #4273?
Randy Cox: How do you cut a whole watermellon (remove all rind first? quarter and slice? scoop out melon balls? etc)?

Woelf: Katana, at a downward angle.
hokam: I knock a couple of times and wait for the inside to come out.
Cowpers: Let the butler do it
Zaphikiel: With a Katana!!!
pwilz: I usually cut it down the center and then slice it up for folks, with whomever getting the end.
Zamomin: I don't like water melons. Honey melons are much better!
Blott: Quarter and slice.
kathleenryan: quarter and slice
Cringing Dragon: Drill a small hole in it. With the assistance of a funnel, pour in copious quantities of vodka (or rum if you prefer). Leave to steep. Insert straw(s) (drill extra holes if necessary). Drink.
atrium: i think i have only ever a partial watermelon from the shop.
rseater: quarter and slice
Rindis: Quarter and slice.
Harkonnen13: I hand it to my wife.
ZeroZilla: I find halving it, then slicing, then halving the rounds into slices to be the least messy way of doing that. I wouldn't want the rind removed, ever. Waste of good melon, that.
Polgara: cut it in halves, then make slices and cut the rim off, then make smaller pieces.
Abruk: To improve the taste
scriptorum: Yep, quarter and slice. Rind removal is messy and scooping is creepy.
malloc: sledge hammer... galliger(sp?) style
themagni: Blender.
DHEK: Quarter and slice.
TheArchAngel: very carefully
Eric Haas: With a knife.
wrkeech: with a knife
aleo09: quarter/slice
vampywife: Hmm...I either quater and slice it (removing the rind) or scoop out the melon part of it, depending on what kind of mood I'm in.
krainer: I bring it into the office and say "the team needs to move on"
Ebon Wendigo: Fairly well, thank you
FuManchu: Quarter and slice
Nimrod6: Quarter and slice
2amp: don't eat it

Chris Page: With a (big) mallet.
cowdog: Quarter and slice
rawdawg: normally
dkwd: Half, cut rings from middle to end, bisect rings
bigbadsteve: i drop it off the garage and let gravity cut it for me
ZombyDawg: quarter and slice
dmomo: Quarter and slice. When we wants it, we wants it now.

darthcliff: Quarter and slice
Dorque: Fill with vodka. Freeze. Tap.
djlg: Quarter & slice

GrandpaDave: Quarter
matthew.marquand: quarter and slice if I'm short on time but I do like scooping better
obob: I'm starting to prefer the R. Lee Ermey way.
skelebone: Quarter and slice. Would one peel a watermelon like a lemon, as you suggest? Amended: I see -- I've not messed with seedless varieties, so whatever it is, I just quarter it up and get out the salt.
Randy Cox: Yep, Pokey, if it's a seedless watermelon, one way that grocers are advised to cut them is to cut away all skin and then just cut it into cubes. Doesn't work for watermelons with seeds in them.
Belash: no idea
jttm: Quarter
CDRodeffer: Quarter & slice.
Lord_Prussian: Just slice it up
CortexBomb: I generally don't. I'm not a big watermelon fan, so if I get some it's definitely not whole
Spielfreak: Cut it into 8 chunks, and then slice it.
puffinge: too much work, I'll have some ice cream.
chaddyboy_2000: I quarter and slice.
