World exclusive
August 22nd, 2006
This picture is part of a feature for my geeky roads site that is in production and hasn’t been put online yet:
This makes it a world exclusive.
I was thinking today about what a limp concept a world exclusive is. It basically just means something new. Everything goes through a stage where only a few people have seen it before lots of other people do. At the moment, this post is a world exclusive to me.
Even better is the idea of a private performance (sometimes disguised as a private screening or a secret gig). I have a private performance world exclusive every time I have a piss. That specific whizz has never been seen anywhere in the world before and I am the only person who gets to see it.
If I was Pete Doherty people would queue round the block to see that.
This means two things as far as I can see:
- Virtually everything on Pouring Beans has been a world exclusive. We have been underselling ourselves.
- I am so glad I’m not Pete Doherty. When I take a leak I like to do so in private.

Hi there, Pete here. When i take a piss there is usually a queue of people, but they tend to be Policemen, and Forensic scientists who want to test me for drugs or skag.
peace.

Hi Pete, thanks for dropping by.You have so little talent that you actually act like a black hole, sucking talent from the world and replacing it with your own pasty-faced incoherent mutterings. I hate you and all you stand for, and hope that you lose your fame before you die so you don’t become the next Kurt Cobain.

I hope he cooks some beans right, on a hob right, and then right he goes for one of his private performances (a piss), forgets they’re on and then burns them. He has burnt beans! Ha ha!
Burnt Bean Pete!

Imagine if there were more. I could get more things done during the day. Like stealing and maiming and then blame it… on myself, no wait, that daydream didn’t involve multiple Ians it was that I was an invisible Ian.
Slight technicality. Thank god I didn’t get those mixed up otherwise I would have been in a right mess 😀

I don’t know about being invisible but I always liked the idea of being able to freeze time, so that I could walk around all these frozen people. I could do cool tricks like moving from one part of the room to another without actually seeming to move. I could also have lots of fun on public transport without having any sexual harassment charges brought against me.

I dread to think what that little boy is thinking of doing
Who said that?
Whoops! Best jump back in the hole *jumps back in the hole*
God know who that was. Anyway, I suppose being invisible and stopping time is sort of the same thing except stopping time would be a lot better. Touche I say!
