The multipurpose MacGyver tool

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

I can’t take any credit for this one, it comes courtesy of Wormbrains blog. That dude has taught me so much! Take today for instance. I was reading his blog when I stumbled across this revelation. MacGyver’s first name was Angus! I love the MacGyver multitool. It’s so practical, and carries the mark of quality, [...]

Jack Bauer is Googles best friend

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

 When Google can’t find something, it asks Jack Bauer for help. This one is dedicated to Bean Bag Boy: Gloria Estafan was wrong; the rhythm is not going to get you. Jack Bauer is.

300 is cinematic viagra

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

I’m off to finally see ’300′ tonight. Expecting a mediocre plot more than made up for by huge amounts of butt whooping action. I saw this review of 300 this morning and it cracked me up, I’m off to see the Manliest Movie Ever! Here’s a sneak peak: When the credits started to roll at [...]

Prison Break Season Two

Sunday, April 22nd, 2007

Just finished watching season two of Prison Break. Looking back, there was a damn lot of action in the second season, with the con’s taking in exotic locations in the US, Canada, Mexico and Panama. The conspiracy was blown wide open, and a shadowy puppet master with a post-it note fetish was introduced. Holly Valance [...]

Technorati Favorites Train

Friday, April 20th, 2007

I was eating my fruit salad and surfing the web at lunch time when I stumbled across this Technorati Favorites train. Basically, I couldn’t resist jumping aboard, so here it goes. “Toot toot!” For the record (and scientific purposes), prior to jumping aboard my Technorati stats were: Rank: 111,499 (119 links from 40 blogs) It [...]

Top 10 most visited pages

Friday, April 20th, 2007

When boredom strikes, I often visit Google Analytics to check up on what has been happening in the world of Swollen Pickles. Today I thought I would post the ten pages that have received the highest number of unique visits over the past 30 days. You could argue that the following posts are the cream [...]

Will Ferrell vs the landlord

Friday, April 20th, 2007

Will Ferrell cracks me up. The dude is funny. He is even funnier when he’s getting ‘bent over’ by his landlord for not paying the rent! Ever seen a grown man cry? The Landlord I need Pearl to negotiate me a pay rise!  

AGLOCO plagued by the never ending glitch

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

Trust me when I say that if your currently wondering whether or not AGLOCO is real or just an elaborate link baiting scheme, then you are not alone. The mythical AGLOCO viewbar has been delayed more often than the Monash Freeway during peak hour. I would suggest that even the most die hard AGLOCO supporters [...]

South Park vs Harry Potter

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

In a geeks wet dream come true (not mine, but someone I may know), here we have two of the titans joining forces. I hate Harry Potter, so this makes it bearable. Enjoy. Warning: This video contains occasional course language and adult themes and is recommended for viewing by mature audiences only. WPvideo 1.10 01:32

Swollen Pickles nominated as worst blog of all time

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

Woe is me. I nominated Swollen Pickles as the Worst Blog of all time, I suppose I have brought this on myself. My confidence is now in taters. Nah, not really, I want to see if the old saying “any publicity is good publicity” is true. With that in mind, go ahead an vote. I [...]

When Matthew Hayden rules the world

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

As it currently stands, Australia have not been challenged in the World Cup so far. For me, the stand out so far has been Matthew Hayden. Ever since the retirement of Steve Waugh, I have adopted Matthew Hayden as my favourite player in the Australian squad. I was genuinely disappointed when he was left out [...]
