Wile E. Coyote is a certified genius. He probably consults for Fortune 500 companies or something.

He owns a lot of patents for things he has invented and licensed to other cartoon characters. Like all rich people, he has discriminating tastes, that's why he's after the Roadrunner--the one dish money can't buy.

He is funded by far left wing lobbyists.

The goal: Stop Roadrunner because he faster and more able than everyone.

When all of the most skilled and successful roadrunners are rounded up, then the socialist revolution can begin.

I think he's probably the president of the Coyote Club of America, and as such he solicits donations from the members. They all have an interest in seeing roadrunners stopped everywhere, and when Wile finally finds a method that works... the rest of the Club will employ it and wrest worldwide control from the roadrunners.

When he fails, he returns the items to get store credit. (think Family Guy :laugh: )

He's really not like most people living lavish lives he just has a huge amount of credit card debt.

As was pointed out, he buys everything from Acme. That's like tha walmart of mail order.

Sure, why not? You should hear what some of the guys in the video forum do to their videocards before RMA-ing them! :laugh:

I've got it!

He SUES Acme everytime he uses a defective product and gets injured. That alone would give him millions of $$$!

Don't you guys watch the news?

He was found guilty of selling drugs back in the mid 90's. The studio spent a lot of money on damage-control to downplay this in the media. All you ever probably heard of was Wile E Coyote giving the Roadrunner some "Acme pills", but in reality it was Ecstacy.

When he has kids at the age of 25, he spends lavishly on toys for them, and when then they are ready to go to college, he has no money to help them out, so the tradition of eternal debt is passed on as well.

ROFL...best response to date! :)

considering the quality of the ACME brand things he buys they must be cheap and made in china, more than cheap enough for his welfare check to cover.

Acme board of directors member. They had to reward him with a huge sum of stock after a big patent infringement suit, now he runs the place. All of those products he "tests" are expensed by the company as development costs.
