The Army is planning on using you to protect the heads of soldiers.

QuoteCole described the ECH as "a huge leap forward" and likened the change to going from an up-armored Humvee to a mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicle, or MRAP.

One hesitates to wonder where the entrance to the ECH-vehicle will be placed.

I always thought I could stop a 7.62 round at point-blank range. Nice of the Army to test it out for me, thus sparing me a potential high-speed trepanation.

btw ECH have you been watching Epic Mealtime? Every time I watch one of those videos I really do wonder if it's your quebecois clone. He seems to have your looks AND attitude.   /theadjack

I don't have TV, but I'll go try to track it down online. I like the idea of a quebecois ECH clone. The smugness quotient would be off the charts.

They're all insane.  Naturally, I have to try "Chocolate chip bacon booze waffles" sometime.

I think the Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time is actually a response to these guys (it briefly appears in the opening credits of their videos).

Personally I think the Swedes go home with the prize for showmanship, and Epic Meal Time takes it away for being so unhealthy it caused me to gain 3 pounds every time I look at it.

ECH stops bullets for all of us, every day, and never says a word, because that's just the kind of guy he is.

I'd like everyone to just take a moment and reflect on that...He's like our own personal secret service agent, who kills our attackers by firing slugs of decayed nicotene out of the bullet holes they inflict on his torso.

I bet you just thought those wounds were stigmata, right?  Well, some of them are, and some are exit wounds left by his horrible guinea worm infestation, but the rest all measure .45 across.

Show a little gratitude, for Chrissakes.
