Beep! Beep!

So the road runner is a huge trickster in my book. You would think that the wiley coyote would be the one who is the trickster, but oh no no!

This Wiley fella uses all sorts of dynamite, railroad tracks, holes that move...etc.... If you have seen this cartoon you know exactly what I am talking about. And somehow this ridiculous bird manages to always "conveniently" miss the fate laid out for him. And that coyote always ends up falling right into the trap that wasn't set for him....but in a way almost set for him.

How silly that this coyote keeps chasing this bird for several episodes, but isn't that the point to keep the show going. I mean how much fun would it be if the coyote actually caught the road runner? There would be nothing left to enjoy. There is always something so satisfying about watching others chase after what they want and never succeed.

As well as there is something just as enjoyable, sitting there and becoming very annoyed with the coyote for still not being able to catch that bird, when you know for yourself that the same over used antics will still not get that coyote a step closer to his dinner! Even perhaps that you could think of a million better ideas to trap that beeping bird yourself!

I recall one episode when the coyote paints a big black circle on a boulder, the bird should hit right smack into the boulder and be at the coyotes mercy! Well as this bird is zipping by he goes straight the black hole and the coyote stands their looking confused. When suddenly a large train comes barreling through the “tunnel”. Crushing the coyote.

Finally the Road runner makes his final appearance coming out right after the train, unscathed. What could possibly be a better example than that?
