Many people have said that Ben is the greatest thing since sliced bread, we can only assume that Sliced Bread was a side project of Dexy's Midnight Runners because you can't make a sandwich out of Ben. But if you still want to know more about Ben, why don't you hire him and meet him for yourself. But for now lets just start out with the basics and see where that takes us. Ben starts with a B, and that means...
From Boston to Bolshie Koty, Byron Bay to Bratislava, Budapest to Busan, Beijing to Barcelona, Ballarat to Buffalo Grove, Brasov to Belfast, Buenos Aires to Bregenz, and Bendigo to Birobidzhan, Ben has seen it all (Note: Ben has not seen Boise, Bombay, Broome, Berlin, or either Birmingham).
From Baseball to Basketball, Boxing to Bowling, Breaststroke to Butterfly, and Bocce Ball to Bungee Jumping, Ben likes sports, although he is not all that impressed with Badminton.
From Beatles to Bangles, Buddy Holly to Bee Gees, B-52's to Bob Dylan, BoDeans to Beck, Better Than Ezra to Bruce Springsteen, Byrds to Bryan Ferry, Billy Corgan to Blue Oyster Cult, Bob Marley to Blondie, and Blues Traveler to Billy Idol, Ben likes music. And yes I said the Bangles, Walk Like an Egyptian is an incredible song.
From Bluefin Tuna to Bottlenose Dolphin, Bull Shark to Barracuda, Blenny to Beluga Whale, Box Jellyfish to Batfish, and Bronze Whaler to Bass, Ben does not eat any fish or seafood. Ben encourages you to learn about how commercial fishing is destroying our oceans and asks that you watch videos of how entire schools of thousands of tuna are completely wiped out in a matter of minutes.
And that is all for the letter B. Join us next week for an exciting tour of the letter T.
