Have you heard the saying “nothing original is created in a vacuum”? Well I’ve decided to throw caution to the wind and rip off the “Review My Blog for a free link back promotion” John Chow is running on his blog. I’m interested to see if it can work for plebes. The Swollen Pickles promotion [...]

I’ve long had my suspicions, and now this video proves it. Mary Poppins was in league with the devil! Thank you to Spaghetti for this contribution. WPvideo 1.10 01:05

Swollen Pickles has been banned in China! This is the biggest news in Swollen Pickles history. It’s even bigger than that one time I was banned from Digg! I visited greatfirewallofchina.org, a site that claims to test, in real time, whether or not a URL is ‘viewable’ (or censored) in China. According to that site, [...]

If you check in here regularly, you may recall a post where I wrote about AGLOCO delivering money for nothing. In the three weeks that have passed since then, my AGLOCO network has built up slowly, and I’m happy to report I have hit double figures. I’m a long way off the 8,000 people John [...]

I saw this video on long time friend of Swollen Pickles, Wormbrain’s site. Ever since I saw it I’ve been humming the tune. It’s as catchy as a highly contagious fungal growth thing! WPvideo 1.10 01:41

This means you can create your own NIN remix. Reznor did the same thing with a couple of tracks from With Teeth, which proved [...]

Now I can’t confirm whether or not this is true or not, but I’ve heard that if you include NSFW (or Not Safe For Work) in the title of your post and submit it to Reddit, your guaranteed an influx of Reddit traffic. It doesn’t matter whether or not your content is or isn’t NSFW, [...]

Really not sure whether to laugh or cry after watching this. It’s clearly the result of an unholy union between two nerd sub-cultures. Someone has far too much time on their hands, and has had one too many hot pockets!

The root of all evil, John Chow is giving away a Nintendo Wii. Now if he really is the root of all evil, it’s about time he did some good and sent me a Nintendo Wii! I wonder if he’ll spring for international shipping? Here’s hoping! Anyway, entering the contest was simple, all I had [...]

Well this story is a little odd. It’s about a teacher facing charges due to ‘adult content’ popping up on her screen during class. I have to say though, who has ever deliberately installed pop-up advertising on their computer??? This follows on from another ‘teachers gone wild’ story about the art teacher fired over selling [...]

Google analytics is a marvelous thing. This morning I decided to check out my stats for this site, and have now inadvertently determined the location of the island on “Lost”. If you watch “Lost” then you know that the “Others” have contact with the outside world via TV and air drops. So it stands to [...]
