I think it’s ok to fire off a warning shot in a case like that.

It’s a pretty good tattoo, but the guns on it are inoperable.

I recognize that these words are English, but my mind has difficulty grasping their concept.

YS is the roughest, toughest, rootinest, shootinest claim-jumper that ever jumped a claim, and I’m-a takin’ over _your_ claim! So get-a goin’ a-fore I puncture your hide!  
Warner Brothers had the philosophy that the _louder_ the opponent Bugs Bunny had, the more impotent he was. So Marvin the Martian, who could destroy whole planets, was relatively quiet. And Yosemite Sam was completely ineffectual.

But Wile E. Coyote is entirely mute. Roadrunner has all the lines, and he only has one.

Wile E. Coyote (Su-u-u-u-u-per Genius: Yes! I think I like the way that sounds!) had a speaking role when he faced Bugs. As for Yosemite vs. Marvin: Director Charles Jones noted that while Bugs’ major enemy, Yosemite Sam was loud and violent, he was obviously no threat. So he decided to create the opposite type of character; one who was quiet and soft-spoken, but whose actions were incredibly destructive and legitimately dangerous. Marvin The Martian made his debut in the 1948 cartoon Haredevil Hare. [Marvin the Martian | Looney Tunes Wiki | Fandom](http://looneytunes.wikia.com/wiki/Marvin_the_Martian) I guess that the loud/impotent vs. quiet/powerful template didn’t apply to the [entire lineup](http://looneytunes.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Bugs_Bunny_villains) though: I was thinking of [this obscure comic book](http://www.amazon.com/Zot-Complete-Black-Collection-1987-1991/dp/B002ECEF6M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353059509&sr=8-1&keywords=zot).

Wile E. also spoke in the 1960s cartoon where he is explaining why he wants to eat the roadrunner to a couplde of TV-watching kids, using the same “Super Genius” voice.

Sometimes you just gotta try out a voice for your mute character. The DePatie-Frelend _Pink Panther_ was almost always mute, but they did have him speak in at least one cartoon that I have. It didn’t add anything.

Of course not. Because saying “why the fuck would you have a goddamned Yosemite Sam tattoo on you? Are you just functionally retarded or entirely so?” would be rude and much more confrontational than a simple eyeroll.

I must confess to some curiosity at how one phrases a compliment about a Yosemite Sam tattoo. “I really love how they captured the depth of his moustache!”
