Here are a collection of nuggets and assorted side show oddities that have amused me over the last 24 hours, an might just brighten your day as well.
As far as attention grabbing introductory sentences for a news story go, the following is going to take a lot of beating (so to speak):
A TERRITORY man filmed [...]

I needed a laugh. I needed… Dr Tran.
The Dr Tran series is a personal favorite, if you haven’t seen and Dr Tran’s step back in time and watch some of the “Best of” Dr Tran.
If you love Dr Tran, then you’ll be happy to know that I just realised that a new instalment [...]

A week ago I wrote about how to improve your Technorati ranking. At the time of writing that post, the Technorati rank for SwollenPickles.com was 91,357.
Since then, I’ve taken a couple of measures outlined in that post, but to be honest, spent very little time working on it. In that time, my Technorati rank has [...]

If you’ve wanted to sell ad spots on your blog but weren’t sure where to start, stop worrying and check out Etology. Did I mention it’s FREE?
It’s quite commonplace these days to see blogs selling 125 x 125 pixel ad spaces in the sidebar. These ad spots can represent great value for advertisers looking to [...]

Chuck Palahniuk’s Choke is one of my favorite books. It’s definitely sitting on the Swollen Pickles recommended reading list, and if, by change, one day I replace Oprah as the shepard of the worlds flock, it’ll be part of the Pickles Book Club.
A basic summary of Choke goes something like this:
Victor Mancini is a sex [...]

Day three of the Technorati experiment is here, and it would seem things have taken a nasty turn.
Yesterday I was sitting pretty with a Technorati rank of 88,547. Today, there’s been an nose dive, with my current rank ballooning out to 111,362. Edit: An hour and a half after posting this I checked again and [...]

I’m glad to report that The Dark Knight lived up to both the hype, and my high expectations. I saw it in a sold out cinema on Sunday night, and three days on, I’m still buzzed.
The film ran for just over 150mins, but there was not a single moment where I felt compelled to check [...]

Here’s a quick follow up to yesterdays post “How To Improve Your Technorati Rank”.
Yesterday my Technorati rank was 91,357, as of writing this it is 88,547.
Another interesting point is that yesterday if you’d search Google for “improve your technorati rank”, there would have been no sign of SwollenPickles.com. Run that same search today and SwollenPickles.com [...]

This video cracks me up. You wouldn’t think one kid biting another kids finger could be funny, but you’d be wrong.
I’m not sure if this has been on funniest home videos or not, but it probably deserves a spot.
What gets me is that first up, the kid sticks his finger in there and realizes it [...]
