Suggestion: Juggling Dangerously

Juggling a rocket and two grenades◊.

I think the juggling in this pic◊ looks clearer, and possibly even more OTT as it's real.

Prefer #2, as it's going to be more clear at wiki size.

I like that one. Not too fond of the TF 2 one.

#2 FTW

All things considered, grenades aren't really that dangerous in terms of juggling fumbles. Not like blades and chainsaws, where a bad catch could easily result in you cutting yourself and/or losing a limb.

Also, blades and chainsaws evoke a bigger instinctive WTF response, in my opinion. Unless that's just me.

There's also the cover of this book.

I still prefer #2. It's clearer.

1. 2 definitely. Guy on a tall unicycle juggling axes, knives, and chainsaws? DUDE

I know. I'm almost tempted to suggest - should that pic be chosen - to link the image to Badass.

The book cover would be good for Image Links, but I much prefer 2.

Have to agree, 2 illustrates the trope better than any of the other suggestions. And better than anything I ever remember seeing, for that matter. My only concern is the height, and what does it look like at wiki size?

Fairly tall but not obnoxiously so IMO. On my laptop it hangs down to the Newspaper Comics section. It could possibly be reduced a little more.

It's tall, but thin, so I don't think it's bad.

Or just edit it out completely. It doesn't look too difficult if you've got a little editing skill.

Worst case scenario, you can snip off the bottom half of the unicycle. I don't think it would lose too much of the overall effect.

I think it would be a lot weaker without the unicycle, though it would still work.

I meant still have part of the unicycle visible; just remove the bottom-most portion of it (i.e. the wheel and a little bit). Meaning, less space needed while still being able to see he's balancing on a unicycle.

Here's some other options: 1◊, 2◊, 3◊

They're good, but I don't think they're as striking as the tall one.

I prefer the second of Willbyr's to the guy on the unicycle, due to the height of unicycle guy. Cropping off the bottom of the unicycle removes a lot of the punch of that image, since you can no longer see what he's standing on. I also like that the guy in Willbyr's #2 is juggling 2 chainsaws and a ball, rather than one saw and 2 other objects. If the first one Willbyr had linked to was closer in, rather than shot from a medium distance, that would be the best of all, since he is using only chainsaws.

The second of those is my favorite too, for size and pic quality.

2 is good. Clearly the ball is most dangerous object of all.

Bump; any other thoughts?

#2

Crowner's hooked.
