#ChuckJones nine rules for how the coyote and roadrunner functioned.

So cool.

RULE 1 ~ THE ROAD RUNNER CANNOT HARM THE COYOTE EXCEPT BY GOING "BEEP-BEEP"

RULE 2. NO OUTSIDE FORCE CAN HARM THE COYOTE — ONLY INEPTITUDE OR THE FAILURE OF THE ACME PRODUCT

RULE 3. THE COYOTE COULD STOP ANYTIME - IF HE WERE NOT A FANATIC (REPEAT: "A FANATIC IS ONE WHO REDOUBLES HIS EFFORTS WHEN HE HAS FORGOTTEN HIS AIM. ~GEORGE SANTAYANA)

RULE 4 NO DIALOGUE EVER, EXCEPT “BEEP-BEEP!"

RULE 5. THE ROAD RUNNER MUST STAY ON THE ROAD - OTHERWISE LOGICALLY, HE WOULD NOT BE CALLED ROAD RUNNER.

RULE 6 ALL ACTION MUST BE CONFINED TO THE NATURAL ENVIR OF THE TWO CHARACTERS - THE SOUTHWEST AMERICAN

RULE 7. ALL MATERIALS, TOOLS, WEAPONS, OR MECHANICAL CONVENIENCES MUST BE OBTAINED FROM THE ACME CORPORATION.

RULE 8 WHENEVER POSSIBLE, MAKE GRAVITY THE COYOTE'S GREATEST ENEMY

RULE 9. ; THE COYOTE IS ALWAYS MORE HUMILIATED THAN HARMED BY HIS FAILURES.

small native dinosaur spotted outside my work building when I came in early this morning. I'm sure it was checking out it's own reflection in the windows. #roadrunner #birds #NewMexico #nature

Hey @bcremer,

Thanks for the guide on:

"How to integrate an existing #Mezzio application with #RoadRunner."

https://github.com/bcremer/roadrunner-mezzio-integration

It was very helpful.

Is the Coyote or the Road Runner a trickster?

Also, honestly still processing the fact that these little dinosaurs just roam around like they're no big deal. Meep meep.

A roadrunner, which is the most dinosaur looking bird I've ever seen.

Well, it's still really hot in #Arizona. But if you get up into the canyons, there's a lot of shade and the plants are clearly still enjoying the monsoon rains. And you might meet a critter around any corner.

I collect roadrunner ephemera, especially mid-century jewelry. This is a page of some of them.
Well, I guess that collection extends to anything mid-century New Mexican, as I lived there at that time and it imprinted into my childhood mind. I'm pretty much mid-century, too. Am I vintage or antique?
#Roadrunner #mid-century #jewelry #ArtJournal #watercolor #TraditionalArt #RetirementArt #MastoArt #NewMexico

This is a collection of roadrunner jewelry, mostly broaches, painted on a red page in my art journal. The jewelry is mostly from the 1950s and 60s. There are 13 pieces, made from various materials, including plastic, metal, turquoise, and rhinestones.

I keep returning to my #Roadrunner friend. I think he's the same one I see oftentimes? He seems to be ok hanging around even as I saunter thru, with a few loving words for him? Anyway, this morning he kept coming closer. Although my phone camera seems confused by his camouflage? Rightly so, right? An owl last week, a roadrunner this week. All the carnivorous birds. Next week an eagle?

Guess who is playing #DailyDoodle catch up again? Me!

This drawing of #FelixTheCat is inspired by so many businesses using classic cartoon characters, particularly restaurants. We had one in town called Burger Rush that used #RoadRunner.

I would read a comic about #Felix running a #burger shack.

Chuck Jone's rules for writing the Road Runner & Wile E. Coyote

An absolute advanced class in writing.

Full text follows in the thread below, converted to Sentence Case for readability.

#Writing #Screenwriting #ChuckJones #Cartoons #RoadRunner #WileECoyote

Rule 1
The Road Runner cannot harm the coyote except by going “beep-beep”.

Rule 2
No outside force can harm the coyote—only his own ineptitude or the failure of the Acme products.

Rule 3
The Coyote could stop anytime—if he were not a fanatic (repeat: “a fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim.” – George Santayana)

Rule 4
No dialogue ever, except “beep-beep”.

Rule 5
The Road Runner must stay on the road—otherwise logically, he would not be called a road runner.

Rule 6
All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters—the Southwest American desert.

Rule 7
All materials, tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the Acme corporation.

Rule 8
Whenever possible,
make gravity the coyote’s greatest enemy.

Rule 9
The coyote is always more humiliated
than harmed by his failures

With the next version of my personal site, I want to build some cool things, but I’m having analysis paralysis over what base to choose. I’d like to use #ReactPHP and run the entire site with a PHP-based web server (probably with Caddy as a proxy), but #APIPlatform is tempting, since it provides a lot of API and JSON-LD power out of the box. I also want to play with #RoadRunner, which doesn’t exclude either of the first two options, but it also has its own way of doing things that might be cool.
