I have recently been interviewed, and I love being interviewed. Here's the first of my two most recent interviews. It is always good for congressional candidates to stay in touch with their constituents, and I will do the best that I can to answer honestly.


1. Being that you're supposed to be dead and extinct... how do you really feel about all these plush homages to your image?
The likeness is reasonably accurate, though sometimes the colours are off. One thing's for sure they are definitely not to scale!

2. Do you really feel that your decaying corpse and ensuing conversion process is really worth me having to pay over $4/gallon?
Of course not ! Fossil Fuel is murder and extinction! As you know, I have held a press confrence supporting Mr. Denny Klein's HHO Technology. Save a dinosaur and walk. It's good for your cardiovascular system.

3. What was your personal hero?
My father, O.C. Marsh.

4. Do the Geico commercials give a true representation of the humans you were used to?
I do not understand this question; I only watch television when I am on it, or when Marilyn Maxwell movies are being shown.

5. Would you rather be able to breathe fire, eat meat, or fly?
I love birdwatching so much that I wish I could turn into a bird and fly away. But, that will probably never happen. Someday I'd like to go skydiving with my friend Ludwig Gantner.
Edgar Rice Burroughs let me glide in his novel, The Land That Time Forgot using my spiff sexy plates, but that is not really their function. I have no desire to eat meat, nor are my teeth
designed to consume it. I have had cameos in movies where dinosaurs breathe fire, and Sid and Marty Krofft let my friend Dimetrodon breathe fire in their show
Land of the Lost, but the ability to breathe fire seems to me to serve no useful purpose.


Incidentially, regarding Land of the Lost, I lobbied heavily to appear on that show, I went directly to Sid and Marty Krofft and represented myself. I told them I'd be perfect, that small children everywhere love me for some reason. They let my friend Brontosaurus on the show, before he had a midlife crisis and changed his name to Apatosaurus, They let my brothers Triceratops and Allosaurus on the show, but not me. No amount of begging and pleading would move their cold, cold hearts.
