+wile e coyote metaphor

+Buddhism is all about conquering the Wile E. Coyote of the ego.  It gets loose
+and does harm so easily.  And it always slams into fake tunnels that are just
+painted on the sides of cliffs...  it's very stupid really, and thinks it's so

+of how much you've done, because that's a sure sign you've still got a pretty
+big ego.
