Oops missed 2. Reason? You don’t play enough Road Runner for us. And what happened to their theme song? The one that has the phrase “Road Runner, if he catches you you’re through”
OK, we're supposed to remember the cartoon from many years ago, when our little five-year old minds were more focused on all of the hijinks of Wile E. Coyote. And some of us did remember and some did not. But it is interesting to recall when times were more simple. What could Wile E. come up with next? Oh yes, some of the grammar in this little quiz was a little shaky but I won't go into that. WWII was still in the rearview mirror of our 52 Fords, hence some of the sources of the hijinks, but times were good.
5/8. This may be heretical, but all these coyote and roadrunner cartoons are so similar that it's hard to remember the details of a specific one.
With the Road Runner as my college's mascot, I knew the Latin at one time, but had long forgotten it. I don't know that I ever knew that a coyote was anything other than "eatimus birdimus"!
4/8... only because I can't remember the last time I saw the cartoon, and tried to guess based on past scanarios.
6/8 poor ole Wile E. I’m from Texas. My wife is from Ohio. When she arrived in Texas she thought Road Runners were 4’ tall and blue. 😂
...which leads me to a bit of visual silliness I've overlooked for quite a while, and hope MeTV has enough of a sense of humor to allow...
