Acme.


Rule 7: All materials, tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the Acme corporation.
Chuck  Jones' Nine Rules for Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner
At one point during our stay in Palm Desert, Karli excitedly pointed out a small bird darting along the edge of a mall parking lot, and said, "Look, a roadrunner!"  We tried to get close enough to take a picture, but to my intense amusement, it was going too fast for us to catch up.  Hmmm...if only there was someplace that could supply the right equipment to catch a roadrunner...


Actually, come to think of it, it was probably for the best that we just gave up and moved on.

P.S. If anyone is reading this and thinking, "But isn't this a bit off topic?", the Warner Brothers cartoons featuring Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, the Roadrunner, et al., represents one of the most impressive collections of outrageous, creative and brilliant fantasy ever put on film.
