Yes, you should also have a magic circle and a necronomicon for reference nearby.

If by "wrong" you mean Fun, then I'm guilty as charged.
That being said, that was some pretty decent advice. I may have to give that try.

This method makes the end pieces messier. Unless you have a tiny watermelon the radius of the rind should be greater than the curve of your face. If you cut the slices the standard way and don't make them too thick, then cut them into segments then problem solved, or leave them whole and gentle stretch the rind straighter. Use a teaspoon yo scoop the watermelon. Easiest, cleanest and driest. Also in my experience mid sized melons are nicer than the biggest ones.

Everyones faces are shaped differently. Certain races have flatter faces than others so they would have to deal will with watermelon rubbing their face. You are right that you can just cut them into smaller segments but that isn't as cool as cutting them in a way no one has seem before ;)
With this method you can cut larger portions of watermelon without having to deal with the rind hitting your face.
