Send Ahab a crate of Acme harpoons.

Moby Dick and the roadrunner should team up against their adversaries.

“To the last I grapple with thee; from Hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.”

I think it’s going to take more than one tankard to drown his sorrows.

You is fortunate Ninja Sloth not after you.

Before I read the story, I thought Moby Dick was a venereal disease.

Right now Wile E. Coyote and Captain Ahab are together ordering harpoons from Acme.

Coincidentally, I just read Moby Dick. On the whole, I liked it. But for epic tragedy, it can’t compete with the Roadrunner saga.

RFK Jr?

Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty

Do be. Don’t be. Moby.

From Wikipedia:

“A contribution to the literature of the American Renaissance, Moby-Dick was published to mixed reviews, was a commercial failure, and was out of print at the time of the author’s death in 1891.”

Whales are among the longest lived mammals. Blue whales and sperm whales are said to live as long as 200+ years. There is a Greenland shark whose age is reported to be almost 500 years.

Yesterday had the coyote in a different bar!

Gee, the roadrunner never seemed to mind before.
