Hawken the talking Wolfhound told me the other day, “Roadrunners are imaginary, like unicorns or libertarians.” I told him there was a roadrunner standing right there in the yard, and that he should chase and consume it, but he just looked at me with his derpy, “do it yourself” face.
We all love the Roadrunner almost as much as W. E. Coyote. It’s a testament to our abillity to root for two opposed interests at the same time.
