We’ve know him by a lot of names over the years…..

“Desertus operatus idioticus”
“Nemesis ridiculii”
“Overconfidentii vulgaris”
“Carnivorous slobbius”

….yes…. Wile E. Coyote.

As a kid, I loved “The Coyote”  I always wanted him to win.  I was forever hopeful that he would catch that dang Road Runner.

I thought Wile E. was about as cool as they came.
Carnivore.
Lots of Cool Gadgets
…and always, a day late and a dollar short.

Seems I grew up to be a lot like that ol’ coyote.

But I will tell you this much….  he had it going on… inventive, tenacious, athletic…  AND…. he shopped everything “ACME”  …..Loyal Customer.

I liked that scraggy character.

In fact, if I had a high speed internet company, I would name it Wired E. Coyote.  Or Internetus Operandii…..   Beep Beep.

(Note:  My brother knows ACME Spring well.  It is in Dayton, Ohio.  He snapped this image on a Smart Phone.  I processed it in PhotoshopCS5.)
