Methods Wile E. Coyote used to try and catch the RoadRunner

[SurvivorMatt]

For those of us on these boards who watched the ole Wile E. Coyote / RoadRunner cartoons growing up in the 70s and 80s, we all know Wile E. used several methods to try and catch the speedy bird, but failed each time. What was/is your favorite method(s) of Coyote trying to catch the RoadRunner. Here is one of mine. You may include the cartoon name from which you saw the method.

Ready, Set, Zoom:
Wile E. Coyote sets up a bear trap in the middle of the road, but struggles to do so. Once the trap is finally set, he places a bowl of ACME Bird Seed on the trap's base and hides behind a rock. RoadRunner comes along and eats the bird seed while standing inside the trap, but the trap does not go off. Confused, Wile E. takes an oil can and applies a tiny drop of oil to the trap's base. Then SNAP! The trap goes off. A zig-zag shaped coyote walks away with a perplexed "Ouch!"

I was going to say the batman suit, but since that was taken...

The one where Wile E. and Elmer Fudd kidnapp RR at gun point. And they're driving along in Elmer's Buick while Wile E. is holding a gun on RR and going into a total diatribe. Then Elmer hits a speed bump and the gun goes off.

Then Elmer and Wile E. have to go to Elmer's dealers house, Porkey, to clean the car up.

I liked the one where Wile E. paints a tunnel and the Roadrunner runs into it. Wile E. not understanding what happened looks into the tunnel and sees a light far off. Then, all of a sudden a train comes out hitting Wile E.

I was more of a droopy fan though. That one where droopy is a sheep hearder and he fights the guy with the cows is hilarious.

A cow comes running going "moo moo moo....bah bah bah" over and over again. Runs up to the rancher repeating it over and over again. The rancher asks, "Whatcha tryin' to say?" and the cow stops, looks at the rancher and says, "SHEEP YA DERN FOOL!!!".

That's freaking Awsome.

You'd think he would've stopped buying from ACME, those people's crap never worked. Like the big rockets he'd sit on and light the fuse, only to get blown up.

Personally, and you didn't hear this from me, but I think he was a little bit, "mentally challenged."
