  1. Meep! Meep!

    Celebrated our 8th Anniversary with @mostol over the weekend by renting an expensive lens and trying to see if either of us have good prospects working for Nat Geo in the event our current careers don't work out.

    Of course, holding the lens still, keeping it in focus, and zooming all while two road runners are effortlessly weaving between rocks and shrubbery is damn near impossible so this is the best we got. Wiley E. Coyote, I feel your pain.

    One of my favorite exhibits at Brookfield. This time I was lucky enough to catch them at feeding time. This guy was celebrating his meal, even going so far as to roost up high showing off his catch. Intermittently he would slightly puff up his feathers and give three "coos."

  3. LCD Soundsystem is one of the rare bands that is an order if magnitude better live than recorded. So so good.

  4. I just found out this:
    The coyote's fastest speed is 40mph (64 km/h).
    The roadrunner's fastest speed is 20mph (32km/h).

    From this information one of two things is possible:
    Warner Bros. has been lying to us all these years...
    or the Coyote is a lot dummer than even they knew.

  5. Wait!

    Y'all didn't tell me that my only hero, and much of the rest of the Looney Tunes lineup, is in Coyote vs. ACME!

    Now, I'm interested.

    I'm not a Wile E fan, but I hate the Roadrunner and its evil corporate backers.

  7. @Satori

    Very cute, Sitara!

    This actually reminded me of the old Coyote & Road Runner cartoons, where the road runner zips into frame from the side and stops dead, then looks around.

  8. The boy is watching classic #RoadRunner #cartoons. My wife not terribly impressed. My argument that neither of us have tried to drop an anvil on someone from the top of a cliff demonstrates that we learnt important lessons from this educational TV from our childhoods has fallen on deaf ears.

  9. Wire - 1976 Demo (Bootleg)

    Broke my rule about boots to get this rare bit of history...very early, very rough Wire doing a bunch of early tracks and covering...

    ...Roadrunner.

    Now that's something I'd never expect.

    Supposedly a rehearsal tape recorded in August 1976 by Nick Garvey (or so says Read & Burn).

  10. My best friend of 20+ years has spent this last weekend visiting me and brought her nice camera so we could do some bird watching. Here are some of the highlights!

  15. "Beep Beep"
    Teableau for 07/17/25

    I do miss seeing roadrunners. When I lived in the semi-arid desert, they'd cross my path as I went to work, and they always, ALWAYS, had a lizard dangling from the beak. Poor lizards, but roadrunner gonna roadrunner.

  16. The Modern Lovers, The Modern Lovers, 1976 on Beserkley

    Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers are part of the indie rock canon, especially here in greater Boston. They formed in Natick MA in 1970, and were active from 1970 to 1974, but most of their records came out later – this one in 1976.

    Jerry Harrison (of Talking Heads) gets credit for piano, organ, and backing vocals, with Ernie Brooks playing bass, and David Robinson drums. John Cale produced six of the songs. That’s a gig poster for Gloucester High School auditorium on the rear cover.

    Some legendary songs here – “Roadrunner” (which you may know via the Sex Pistol’s cover and after which a local venue is now named) and “Pablo Picasso” which has been covered by many people including David Bowie and Jack White.

    My copy—via A1 records in NYC—is a later reissue (2009) by 4 Men With Beards on 180g vinyl.

  20. Bestial Human Road Runner
    Hand drawn Ink art by William McAusland, writing by Colin Chapman
    Long-legged and quick (move 12m per round), bestial human road runners are omnivores with a taste for bugs, lizards, snakes, and rodents, as well as vegetation. They have a sharp beak and talons (SV +7/ DMG 1d10), and react quickly to opportunity and danger (+1 initiative).
    Humanoid road runners can fly clumsily with their wing-arms (10m per round), and while airborne can use their misshapen hands, to either employ a one handed weapon or drop a rock or grenade from each hand.
