The best and funniest bit of Coyote vs. Acme was when they played 'Nobody Speak' by DJ Shadow and Run the Jewels and bleeped out the many swears with Road Runner's meep. Tremendous work.

Forced myself to mow the lawn for the first time this year. Had to rewire the mower plug, its earth pin eaten by some copper chemical. Ran over at least one random turd, and a fallen bird feeder. Mower conked out two thirds of the way through. I'm sure the neighbours are preparing a wellness check.

Removed my phone from my pocket to find I'd been calling a phone number I don't know for like 7 minutes. They heard: - A child throw another child's scooter - That child getting (rightly) shoved in return - Said child hitting his sister with a stick - Subsequent bollockings
