Apparently it's my day to be that guy. I know he's a corksoaker, but what is a 'watermelon' in this case? If not a fascinating case of autocorrect?

While it is quite heavily contested (seriously... be careful going down this rabbit hole), a watermelon is considered a "fruit" by some. You can use the alternate derivation of "fruit" to get where the OP might be going with his comment.

See post #28. Also, consider the character of Drang's responses over the (many) years that he's been a core participant of the forum, and whether that was probably his intent.

FYI, we got a directive saying that if we are the targets of water soaking type attacks, or the "milk shakes" we are to immediate arrest the person(s) and process as assault on police.
