beejBrendan “Beej” Dery

Driving: Friday, Nov 14 10pm – Nov 15 10am

Driving since: 2014

Points: 0

Crashes: 0

When not at Desert Bus, he can be found:

Working crew for LoadingReadyRun & hosting shows for Synaptic Chaos Theatre.

Special Skills:

I play guitar. I play saxophone. I do really good improv. I do pretty good impressions. I overreach. I underwhelm. I use too many spaces after periods.

I also really like to sing, so I hope we can fold some of that in there. I’m keen to see what new J-Pop songs people ask me to play.

He’s a total geek for:

Anime. Wait, I mean *good anime*, Nintendo games, Discworld novels, Barenaked Ladies, Mercedes-Benz (maybe just half-nerd)

Claim to Fame:

My eyes are *all-naturally* f***ed up

Biggest fear about driving for DB8:

I like to fall asleep when I drive. Cars. IRL.

If he was reincarnated as a fruit or vegetable he would want to be:

Celery topped with peanut butter and raisins

Favourite Cheese:

The sharper the cheddar, the beddar

Doesn’t want you to know he listens to:

Polling Rank of ’96 Japan Animation Theme Song

His “moves like Jagger” are more like:

Octodad. And I guarantee I’m not the only person that said this.

Editor’s Note: He totally was.

To prepare for driving the bus he is:

Going to work for eight hours, going home to sleep for five hours, then arriving hungry without having read the instruction manual.

Man, I hope some cool stuff happens on my Zeta shift.

What symbol does your superhero cape have on it?

Double-barred B
