    “My shoes are too tight, and I’ve forgotten how to dance”

    “The avalanche has started, it’s too late for the pebbles to vote”

    Those might not be %100 right

          Most of my references are from a sketch comedy troupe but my favorite of theirs is

          "Whose a good baby? Presumably you are!" said to a baby. With a silly intonation. I like saying it with the weird intonation to cats. I don't have a human baby, prop or not!

            Yeah I loved eternity, but the bugs keep piling up to the point of annoyance. Very happy with Thunder these days. And Voyager is great too. Both open source and very actively developed.

              The first one was an actual advertising campaign for Dr Pepper, but considering your other one is from Thundercats, I'm guessing I should read the first one in Johnny 5's voice.

                  Are they saying presumably because we don't know if they're gonna grow up to be the next Dictator or something?

                    In context, they don't know where the baby came from, it just appeared in the mess that is the props room. So he was being an oblivious not having baby guy.

                    In reality it was the guy who was holding its baby. He knows it's cute, it's his baby lol.

                            So I remembered Adam Savage mentioning that he got the phrase from a friend, so I went hunting for the video.
                            Anyone heard of a film called Dungeon Masters?:

                            (12 minute video, but only the first 3mins are relevant)

                                      They're from a mastodon instance. They replied to me so maybe the people they @ can see them? Idk. Fediverse is weird. Imagine you're on Reddit and someone tweets at you. Pretty cool though haha

                                        was that actual advertising? neat. I thought it was just in the movie. I didn't even know what a dr pepper was back then lol
