"I returned November 1st from Colorado where I was shaking claws with my constituents there," said Stegosaurus. "Now relaxing in front of my computer, I see questions submitted for an interview. It is a good thing for a Congressional candidate to be in good stead with the press, so I will answer all the questions honestly. "

1) Which do you like better: your "17 spiff yellow plates" or your "cool spiky tail"?

This is a difficult question, because I like them both so much ! My 17 spiff yellow plates make me attractive, and also regulate my body temperature. Even though I'm spoken for I'd hate to do without them, but by the same token, my cool spiky tail protects me when I am in danger ! Also, it doubles as a plow. It's hard to be a gardener without a plow, so I don't know if I could choose between them.

2) I could use some landscaping advice. Have you ever eaten a privacy fence? What kind of trees and bushes would you recommend?

A privacy fence ? That depends. Is the privacy fence made out of trees ? I'd try not to, but my appetite for trees usually gets the better of me, as I'm sure you've noticed. I would recommend Mountain Laurel, and / or Ivy. If it were me, I'd plant Hickory Trees. Hickory Trees would taste look nice.

3) I know you like to travel, but how do you get from place-to-place?

I walk or swim. I'm a very good swimmer, but I prefer dry land; travel was so much easier when the earth only had one continent !

4) Will you teach me the Lindy Hop?

Yes, I can teach you the Lindy Hop ! Just join the Stegosaurus School of Dance location closest to you ! Oh, and look out for my cool spiky tail; I don't want you to end up like Thag Simmons.


5) What made you decide to get a blog ? Is it difficult to write about being a dinosaur?

I may have a brain the size of a walnut, but I am very progressive and forward thinking. I could tell that a lot of people were computer savvy and had blogs so I needed one too to communicate in this modern age. It is not very difficult to write. I just wake up in the morning and do what I do. Eat trees and have tons of fun !

Thank you for interviewing me ! It was fun !
