The last two weeks have been pretty rough on EOD techs (three dead, one severely wounded). Today was a good day.

The EOD team leader didn’t know it was an IED. He was just going to do a BIP (Blow in Place) of ordnance. He returned after the explosion to do a post blast investigation and discovered what is in the picture.

Somebody loves EOD techs...

Those EOD guys are *not* like everybody else.

That rocks.

Uhmm, don't want to correct you there, but you might want to check IMDB on that one...

Right... um... let's put it on the list of things not to watch at ShootMoot. You with flashbacks would be triggering my self-preservation instinct...

Google says, it's on his "More Greatest Hits" album. I think I've also seen it in Borders, on a CD titled "The Cowboy Ballads of Marty Robbins" or something like that.

I'm guessing they don't give their number out to just anybody.

Its amazing that this guy played both Pyle *and* that guy on CSI. Hard to believe it is the same person. Maybe that means he's good at the whole "acting" thing. :-)

Sorta like how Jack Nicholson can play Col. Jessup and nail the role to historic proportions, then turn around and play the Joker in a Batman movie and *also* completely nail the role *and* take over the movie from the lead.
