This happens to me at least 4 times a week.
Or quicksand for that matter, I was really expecting that to be a much bigger problem. Especially after reading all those Tintin comics.
I went up to my knee in quicksand last week.
Looked solid, nope.
(In the shaded part, under a bridge, on a supposed dry river bed.)
Exciting and a little scary.
Yikes
steps in quicksand
OH GOD 80S TV WAS RIGHT
I have never had to Stop, Drop, and Roll
When I was a child I saw a school mate get crushed by a falling piano.
True story.
Did he walk like an accordion after?
He didn't do a lot of walking after tbf

I looooove that show! It's the best show nobody's watched. One of the greatest shows I've ever seen
Yes! It’s the greatest show I can’t talk anyone into watching. It and The Leftovers.
I couldn't get into the leftovers, I did try
So your local OSHA version is doing its intended job.
To be fair we dont install them using a wooden crane or improvised winch to hoist them over public sidewalks as much these days either
Somebody really enjoyed the success of the quicksand tweet and was hoping for an encore
Tweet? That was a John Mulaney joke from like 10 years ago.
New In Town came out in 2009, 16 years ago.
And was probably said by various people before that too, whatever. The point is this is an obvious derivative.
Charlie Sheen has not been so lucky
About falling, burning pianos... here's a beautiful 2009 short film set to a 3min piece by Hauschka - Morgenrot.

And when the the time comes you will be ready.
Same reason I play dystopia games.
