Swollen Pickles

When it comes to taking awesome photographs, timing is everything. It can make the difference between a dud shot and a money shot. Here are some great examples of photos taken at just the moment.

First up, a man and his camel. Now I realize the guy was only trying to mount the camel, but it still looks a little suss...

Elite sport is big on the whole team bonding thing, but maybe this is taking the bonding a little far.

As is this...

Keeping to the sports theme this one had to be awkward, particularly for the judging panel.

Reading the weather is fraught with danger, and the potential for awkwardness is but one weather pattern again.

That's all for now.

If you had to describe the TV show Flight of the Conchords in one word, what would it be? I'm going to have to go with "quirky". Even though I hate that word, it's the first one that pops into my tiny under developed brain.

If you've never heard of the show before, allow wikipedia to provide you with a nice little synopsis.

Flight of the Conchords is an Emmy Award-nominated television comedy series that follows the adventures of the Flight of the Conchords, a folk duo from New Zealand, as its members seek fame and success in New York City. The show portrays a fictionalized version of the real-life duo, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, who play themselves.

Anyway, it just so happens that I also have a David Bowie fascination. So what happens when Flight of the Conchords have inter-relations with David Bowie? This...

I don't normally post "cute", but seeing as though I'm on holidays I'll have to be honest... I was looking for filler! Don't be offended, it's just that it's hard for me to post when I'm sitting by the beach working on my tan and drinking drinks with little paper umbrellas in them. Plus, I wouldn't want to get sand in my keyboard... which coincidentally leads nicely in this little nugget...

The little guy finally did it!

Merry Christmas y'all.

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 himself speeding at 150km/h while masturbating at the wheel of his drug-laden car, a court heard.

Yup, that little nugget made the front page of the Northern Territory News, along with an equally thought provoking headline, "Is this bloke a complete tosser?".

You want more? The prosecutor said in court that:

...the father-of-three told police he "had masturbated while driving'' just before he was stopped for speeding on the 130km/h stretch of the Stuart Hwy.

"(He) also video recorded himself masturbating while travelling at a speed of 150km/h.''

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 has hit YouTube. Check out the video below, Dr. Tran starring in "Dickable Afternoons" with special guest appearance from Goodmonson the Dickable Dog.

Experience the quality and tradition of a dickable afternoon...

What would happen if Cadbury and Nestle joined in a merger? Chocolate chaos, that's what! No doubt there product range would have to under go a few minor changes.

Apparently the concept of a merger has already been thought out by someone with far to much time on his/her hands...

So here's a glimpse of what the product range might look like if every the two confectionery giants join forces.
