Coast Guard on alert for coyotes

the Road Runner have declined so much. If Chuck Jones were still alive, he NEVER would have allowed the Road Runner to cross a frozen harbor (see Rules # 5 and # 6 below):

Speaking of the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, animator Chuck Jones and his team were said to follow these simple rules when creating the cartoons:

1. The Road Runner cannot harm the Coyote except by going "meep, meep."

2. No outside force can harm the Coyote -- only his own ineptitude or the failure of Acme products. Trains and trucks were the exception from time to time.

3. The Coyote could stop anytime -- if he were not a fanatic.

4. No dialogue ever, except "meep, meep" and yowling in pain.

5. The Road Runner must stay on the road -- for no other reason than that he's a roadrunner.

6. All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters -- the southwest American desert.

7. All tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the Acme Corporation.

8. Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy.

9. The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures.

10. The audience's sympathy must remain with the Coyote.

11. The Coyote is not allowed to catch or eat the Road Runner.

Despite Wikipedia's insistence that these rules were pure fiction, Mel Blanc, the voice of nearly all the Warner Brother's cartoon characters, acknowledged the existence of the rules in his autobiography.

Tell those mangy mutts to stop leaving their used needles and condoms on the beach. Savages.

Sometimes they cross the train bridge and hang out in the marsh in Neponset. I see them around sometimes. Then the stray cats starts to disappear.

And an increase in the wild bird population, which increases biodiversity, helps in seed dispersal, helps control the insect population, etc.
