Versus – the first kungfu zombie movie?

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

“Many believe that there are 666 gates to Hell hidden here on earth. Legend says that somewhere in Japan’s ‘Forest of Resurrection’ lies the 444th gate. Escaped prisoner KSC2-303 is doubled crossed by his rescuers and flees into the mysterious forest. Within the trees, dead Yakuza come back to life to seek vengeance on all [...]

‘The Open Door’ – Evanescence

Monday, October 9th, 2006

I picked up a copy of ‘The Open Door’ by Evanescence on Saturday. It is their first release since ‘Fallen’ as well as the first without guitarist and co-founder Ben Moody. Leading up to the release of ‘The Open Door’ there was a lot of speculation as to how the band would sound without Moody. [...]

Urban Chaos: Riot Response

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

Urban Chaos is a fun game! Violent and laden with profanity, it’s good clean fun. You play as Nick Mason, the T-Zero enforcer, dedicated to stamping out urban terrorism. It’s a first person shooter, but it’s probably one of the best looking games on the xbox. Graphics are fantastic. To be honest, I didn’t really [...]

What the hell is the George Lindemann Party?

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

Now I honestly have no idea what the George Lindemann Party is, however, I’m quite confident it is not a rock band. I did the requisite google search and I’m still no clearer. If you drop the ‘e’ from George and look him up on wikipedia, “Georg Lindemann (1884 – 1963) was a German cavalry [...]

The curiosity that is before and after liposuction photos

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

Cosmetic surgery is big business these days. It seems like every second person is having plastic surgery, breast implants and/or liposuction Los Angeles style. Actually I love a good before/after liposuction photo. The use of black texta on the subject is fascinating. In some cases it looks like an artists impression of a weather map. [...]

To redesign or maintain the status quo?

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

A couple of posts ago I was asking whether or not I should change the layout of my site. I’ve been having a look around the web at other blogs and other general websites to get a feel for what I like and what I don’t. The idea being if I could combine all the [...]

Shock Docs and the world of cosmetic surgery

Saturday, October 7th, 2006

Ladies and Gentleman, ‘Shock Docs’ is back! Yes, the greatest tv series of all time has returned to Channel 9, this time to Tuesday nights. Last week they finally played the episode about people living with surgical tools inside them. Apparently when going under the knife and having your insides fiddled around with, it’s not [...]

The world of tattoo rankings

Saturday, October 7th, 2006

There have been numerous times throughout my life where I have considered getting a tattoo. There are two main reasons why I haven’t taken the plunge yet, 1. my parents would KILL me, and 2. I change my mind far to often to settle on one design. The one design I do like is the [...]

Thinking of changing the look of Swollen Pickles

Thursday, October 5th, 2006

Title says it all really. I like the current theme of the site, but apparently bright colours aren’t for everyone. I’m considering changing the look of the website. Changing it to what, I’m not sure. Actually interested to know what people that actually read this think… should I change it, or leave it alone?? Please [...]

The latest product from Apple – the all new iPad

Thursday, October 5th, 2006

I have to admit, feminine hygiene products are not things which I am overly familiar with. I mean, I try to understand the TV ads, I really do, but some just don’t make sense. I remember one ad for “pads” where a woman reached into her handbag and was bitten by a snake. How that [...]

Swollen Pickles Keyword Statistics for September 2006

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

Some interesting statistics for the past month. I love reading the freaky keywords/phrases people have searched for on Google to get to my site. For September the big one was Suri’s Stool. Apparently the poop of celebrity offspring is big business if my stats are anything to go by. The amount of variations on the [...]
