Advice to Wile E.

1. Your name in Antipoddlean is pronounced "Coy-Oat". There is nothing to be done about this. Live with it.

2. In the course of Road-Runner-related activities, avoid any plan that involves a steel-girder-constructed London rival to a well-known Parisian landmark. It will inevitably end with you poised above a 1300-ft drop with legs windmilling madly until gravity belatedly pulls you down. Also, jokes about the "I-Fell Tower".

I'd be coy if I were a coyote subsisting largely on oats.

About a month ago, I actually had a run in with a coyote which had wandered into the parking lot while we had a fundraising event going on- I thought it was somebody's dog, and figured I'd call it over to check the tags (in October, we hosted a neighbor's whippet until she could come and get it). Here I am, calling, "Nice doggie, good doggie!" I got to within 20-30 feet of the beast when it turned around, revealing the bushy, canted tail. THAT'S NO DOGGIE!!Sucker casually trotted down the street before turning into a neighbor's yard, all the while thinking, "What was that moron going on about?"
