If Wyle E Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?

Asked by ucme (50047points) July 5th, 2010

Thrill of the chase, doesn’t know when he’s beat, stubborn little bugger. Well…...what then smarty pants? These are the genius questions, treat them with care.

Maybe he stole it.
And false pride is a strong motivator.
He should have hired an assassin, though.
You know, the thing with assassins is, they strike when you least exp

It has been quite some time since I have seen a Wyle E cartoon, but I don’t ever remember seeing him ‘buy’ any of those Acme brand products. I would think that he stole them. Which begs the question… why not steal dinner?

I never understood why Coyote couldn’t catch roadrunner. A coyote can top speeds around 40mph. Road runners are capable of about 20mph.

He never stole any of them they were ordered via air mail, kind of Fed Ex in the desert.

Maybe we are all making a big mistake by trying to find logic in a dumb american cartoon.

ucme's avatar

@rpmpseudonym Hmm because it’s a cartoon maybe?

ucme's avatar

@ragingloli Well that assassin was a particularly crap shot.

@ucme
Sorry about that. I had a movie running in the other room and I had to turn it off.

Because if he didn’t, there would have been no Roadrunner cartoons.

ragingloli's avatar

@marinelife
Maybe that would have been preferable.

@ucme That’s no excuse. :)

ucme's avatar

@rpmpseudonym Oh absolutely not.

Because the Roadrunner was >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>off.

Hey, Look how many guys buy shotguns, shelters, camo clothes, boats, etc. just to go duck hunting. Same reason.

Hormones.

Maybe because he was created by cartoonists with tastes for irony.

It wasn’t about food. While E. Coyote comes from a long line of road runner catchers. In order to prove their worth and advance through the tribe, WEC needed to catch the road runner that the elders had assigned him.

Or I’m making stuff up…

Because he’s an engineer. If THAT is the objective, then he will find a way to reach it, ordering dinner is the pussy way out.

Besides he never died of hunger so he probably had something to eat anyway.

ucme's avatar

@Zaku Yanks get irony? Now that I don’t believe.

talljasperman's avatar

maybe he used his food stamps for the Acme crap…or was getting them free because he was a spokesman… or he likes the unique flavor of roadrunner… Wile E.. got the Roadrunner in a Episode of Family Guy.

Did the roadrunner have a name? or is it just roadrunner.

ucme's avatar

@talljasperman Yeah I believe his latin name was Annoyingtwaticus.

ucme's avatar

So good they named me twice!

He was secretly yearning to become a gourmet chef.

buying dinner just isn’t as good as eating outdoors! He wants to savor his days catch!
Just like hunters who rent helicopters and guides to help them locate and shoot a deer. The deer-meat could easily be purchased for the amount spent, but the hunters have satisfied their blood-lust.
