What Up, Doc?
Alright, the last post was a bit much, and it's doing a snow/rain mix outside today, so it's officially time for a pointlessly silly post.
So, I'm trying to figure out which Looney Tunes character I most resemble. The two candidates are Pepe LePew and Wile E. Coyote.
Why I am Pepe LePew: I'm a Romantic on the inside, but women ultimately find me repulsive. My grooming habits are questionable. I really like French Bread.
Why I am Wile E. Coyote: I often present myself as a fairly intelligent person, but at the end of the day, I'm pretty dumb. My schemes typically blow up in my face. No matter many times I fall off a cliff, get blown up, smashed, and/or crushed, I always get up and come back for more.
So, whada you folks think? Also, feel free to drop a comment on the blog about which Looney Tunes character you think you most resemble and why. Being silly is fun.

Here's the thing, you think women find you repulsive. They don't. You just don't believe me. So le Pew is out.
Coyote fits most of the time, but you lack the antagonist, and I'm not just thinking someone that constantly thwarts you. ACME is as much Wile E's antagonist as the Road Runner. Dick Blick and the printers are close though. Very close sometimes.
So I'd say half Wile E, and half Porky the Pig. Why Porky? Porky's your negative traits. Porky has a self image that inhibits the development of self confidence, but only in certain things. If Porky's got no experience in something, he'll try it. He'll buy a haunted house despite not knowing how to rebuild it. He'll travel across Europe only speaking English. However, Porky never steps outside his safety box if he's already developed one, unless he's sure of the outcome. When he does, the outcome goes awry.
Me? Bugs, Daffy and Yosemite Sam. On the good side, I've got Bugs' easy going manner and new things come to me easy. On the bad side, I got Daffy's need for attention and I can't just let a scene play out (I'm getting better, though). I got Yosemite's stubborn streak and inability to see the easy solution because I follow my gut instinct, which is always to build to most complicated plan I can. There's a little bit of Chicken Hawk's overwhelming desire to be bigger than I am, too.
You've got some good points on the Porky Pig view, but the fatal flaw in your logic is that Porky is an inherently Lucky character, whereas I am an inherently Unlucky character. I'm still leaning towards the Coyote.
Good call for the most part on you.
We couldn't come up with a Warner Bros. character that fit Bro. I think he's the classic Tex Avery character Droopie Dog, while Bro thinks he's Eor from Winnie the Poo.
The big shortcoming is that it all falls into the realm of self analysis, and that's always flawed. Even those of us with an inherent tendancy toward introspectiveness consistantly overlook some key point in our behavior or even worse, deny it.
