This man. This man is my hero. Navy EOD dancing before striking an epic pose and detonating explosives.

I... I have seen the light
That bit right at the end, where he's holding a pair of assault rifle's as it's exploding, that should be the picture they use for EOD recruiting poster.
[image]

With the caption: "EOD: We pay you to blow shit up."

My brother did EOD in Iraq (even though it's totally not in his job description -- on paper, he's a Humvee mechanic), and ATF has a number of EOD techs that I've gotten to know. You have to be slightly crazy to say, "Okay, I'll put on this armored suit and go walk over to that stash of high explosives that could go off at any moment, and plant *another* explosive in just the right place."
Give me a few moments and I could even make a printable version of it if possible. Has good enough proportions to adjust for a horizontal poster.

Actually, getting a high-res pic of it would work even better. Thank you KeepTube.

EDIT:
Dang it, they only had up to 480p. Looks like I'll have to do it the hard way.

EDIT EDIT:
Okay, so a printable poster may be a bit big and time consuming to process, but I have the next best thing. How's a wallpaper sound? As it stands, it's 3000x2000 in scale (1.35mb optimized). Expanded from 72dpi to 300dpi +333p horizontally to fill in the rest of the space (3:2), and content-aware filled the sides and touched them up. I also touched up the color balance to get rid of those blue streaks in the image and make a flat-black tie-up. Text effects were added to give it more impact.

EDIT EDIT EDIT:
Spoiler: Here we go. Done: (click to show/hide)

I can spend a little more time to clean up the image more. Sharpen it maybe. Remove the little speck of flame on the image.

This is a great picture. Now all that needs to be done is add transparency to the bottom part.

Or just turn the image into some shitty image format that makes the file like 100MB or something.

Spaghetti sauce. Good place for carrots, or best place for carrots?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Crushed my panicky feelings by listening to R.E.M and reading happy threads. So glad that's over.

I know they don't actually affect your health, but you might want to get rid of those anyway.

Did you throw the corpse up there yourself?
