Fastest with the Mostest

Once again, Wile E. &quot;Carnivorous Slobbius&quot; Coyote sets up a series of traps for Road &quot;Velocitus Incalcublii&quot; Runner, and they always backfire. In one instance, RR turns into sort of a jerk (or at least that was how I interpreted it). The overall point is that even though we always know what sorts of things are going to happen, it&apos;s a total pleasure to watch them play. Those signs encouraging RR to slow down reminded me of the expression &quot;live fast, die young&quot; (often used to describe Elvis Presley).

But anyway, &quot;Fastest with the Mostest&quot; is just great, even though the end was clearly lifted from the Bugs Bunny vehicle &quot;High-Diving Hare&quot;. On that subject, I have studied law some, so I&apos;d better be careful on ledges!

Wile E. Coyote tries to drop a rocket bomb on the Road Runner from a balloon but inflates himself instead, ascends skyward, then falls along with the bomb. He tries painstakingly to deactivate the bomb before it explodes - and fails. His attempt to trap the Road Runner on the edge of a cliff results in the cliff collapsing under his feet, sending him to the ground to be hit by his own knife and fork and then fall into a waterfall leading to a maze of pipes.
