You think he would look into making purchases from a different company. Then again, maybe their the only ones will deliver to that part of the desert.

Also, my favorite Looney Tunes ever is the one where Wile E Coyote is falling from some very tall building, and he talks and reminisces about his life.

[Wooleybooley]

Elric of Melnibone

Lincoln Rhyme.

I read a hilarious spoof many years ago... I think in National Lampoon... where Wile E. Coyote was suing Acme. Funny stuff.

Most of my favorites have already been named but oh well...

Vash the Stampede, Trigun (the anime, hated the dismal manga)

Legato Bluesummer, Trigun

Alucard, Hellsing

The Underground Man, Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground (love his opening rant)

Jin, Samurai Champloo

Sha Gojyo, Saiyuki

Kougaiji, Saiyuki

Ogami Itto, Lone Wolf & Cub (the manga, not the film)

Cheradinine Zakalwe, Use of Weapons, Iain M. Banks (think I got the name right, the book is down the basement & no way am I going down there now)
