| General | Sleep, showering, kids and wife, stand-up comedy, art, politics, a little golf, and skiing. | | Music | This list changes constantly. Current favorites that you may not have heard of: Dan Bern, Josh Ritter, Built to Spill. Christine Fellows. And some you may have heard of Tom Waits, Steve Earl- (thanks to Stankowicks) | | Movies | I like the ones with sound. I know I should like the Great Train Robbery and all the Charlie Chaplin movies but I don't. An occasional Laurel and Hardy is really good. Never really got into the Three Stooges either. I love "Life of Brian" and "Blazing Saddles". One of the funniest movies I ever saw was in black and white "Tomorrow Night", a Louis CK film. | | Television | Deadwood | | Books | Some books I love: The World is Flat, The Blank Slate, Confederacy of Dunces, Billy Collins stuff.

About me:

I am 41 years old with a wife, a daughter and a relatively new son. I have tendonitis in my shoulder, a 14 inch vertical leap, eight pair of shoes, and a small but growing lump on my right thigh. Maybe I'll post a picture, see if any of you MySpacians have any ideas. My doctor (she also belongs to other people, I share her) says that it isn't dangerous, just ugly I guess. At least that's what some kids at a water park told me. ----- I have also been told by several people that I look like a monkey. Even complete strangers. Like the drunk woman in Moorehead, North Dakota, who shouted under her breath (she thought she was whispering), right into my friend Troy's forehead: "Your friend looks like a monkey!" Troy told her she was rude and should apologize. I thought it was very nice of him to stand up for me. He is a true friend. ----- I am a stand-up comedian (13 years- 9 for a living). In my comedy show I often talk about being an unaccomplished Mormon and other stuff too. You can check out my website at www.getbengt.com, where you can buy my DVD "Mormon Meets World," or my new CD "Hell Bengt." I also have an old CD, "Get Bengt - The Road Show." Its on XM radio now. I don't sell it anymore because I stopped telling most of those jokes.

Who I'd like to meet:
Thomas Friedman, Jared Diamond, Steven Pinker, Woody Allen, my parents when they were 19, Mark Twain, Tiger Woods, David Sedaris, the Popes doctor, L. Ron Hubbard, Sponge Bob Square Pants, the list goes on...
Large groups of people in theatres and comedy clubs who actually paid to see me do comedy. Just about anybody after a show as long as they aren't too bent.
