| Anton Barbeau: Well, at a recent gig the kids up front went mad with beep-beep noises and hummings and buzzings. that was really nice, and if there was more of that every time i'd be pleased. That's the clean answer. |
| MS: You're lost in a remote town; describe where you pull over and who you ask for directions: |
| AB: I'd pull over near the old phone booth with the word "information" printed on its side. I'd use the phone to call the guy working down the road at the gas station and I'd ask him directions to the nearest library. Assuming I made it to the library, I'd check out as many books about the internet as I could. I'd find out about the internet (I've heard good things) and then, upon returning the books to the library, I'd ask the librarian out to dinner. If she said yes, I'd insist on insisting that she pay, and if she was okay with this, I'd ask her to loan me enough money to build an interstate highway which I'd name after myself. Eventually I'd tire of all this nonsense and I'd wake myself from the most beautiful dream about bison.

| MS: What's your favorite Christmas song?
|
| AB: The one that goes "bison, bison, who's got the bison?" |
| MS: What cartoon character do you identify most with?
|
| AB: Charlie Bison. |
| MS: Create your own amusement park ride. |
| AB: Okay... DONE! It's a bison-train. 25 bison all chained together under questionable circumstances, dragging a Siberian Xmas sled through a haunted house of ill-repute. The kids'll love it. |
| |
| MS: What sport/game do you wish you could play or play better? |
| AB: I wish I could play Bisonboard better. I'm pretty good but nobody will practice with me. I hate people sometimes. |
| MS: Would you rather have a chauffer or butler/maid?
|
| AB: I'd rather have a bison, but I'd settle for a maid. A butter-maid. Like a milk-maid, only she has bison butter on her person, just in case.
|
| MS: What TV show has/had the greatest theme song?
|
| AB: Either WKRP, the Prisoner,or Hill Street Bison Blues. |
| MS: What's the worst thing about PMS? |
| AB: Not having a bison handy to rub my bloated abdomen. |
| MS: Whose framed, autographed picture do you wish you had? What would be the personal message written from him/her on it? |
| AB: Honestly, I'd love a nice autographed picture of myself, with the message reading "I'm not actually you, and you're not actually here. You don't even look remotely like yourself today and there's a good reason that bison won't come near you anymore." |
