Wile. E Coyote And Road Runner Adhere To Certain Rules
©Warner Bros.
Although initially intended to be a parody of cartoons like Tom and Jerry, the shorts featuring Wile. E Coyote and the Road Runner became incredibly popular in their own right. Although the show might seem like chaos at all times, the writers actually established a set of rules that the two characters had to follow.

For example, the Road Runner could only harm the Coyote by startling him with his trademark "meep meep" noise and had to stay on the road at all times. On the other hand, the Coyote's greatest enemy is always gravity, and all of the weapons and tools he acquired had to be products of the ACME Corporation. Although some rules were broken at times, for the most part, they were upheld.


Check out the name of the used car dealer where the second owner bought my A12 ROAD RUNNER back in March of '71 in Youngstown, Ohio........................................Yep that's right Ac.... laugh2 laugh2

Ethelburt:
as a boys' name is of Old English origin, and the meaning of Ethelbert is "noble, bright".
The original form Aethelbert or Aethelbeorht, formed from aethel meaning "noble" and berht meaning "bright, famous", and thus the Old English equivalent of Albert. The name of three Anglo-Saxon kings, two of whom became saints: Saint Ethelbert of Kent whom Saint Augustine converted to Christianity, and Saint Ethelbert of the East Angles to whom Hereford Cathedral is dedicated.

I would have thought Ernest - as in earnest, really working at it...
Noble & bright in the case of Wile E Coyote seems like an inside joke, though, which adds a funny depth.

As for RR, 2 words: dust trails.

Loved WB cartoons as a kid, but RR was my favorite.
So I was certifiable when the car was announced...
