You smell like robots |6:19 AM| Information is limited at the moment, but I think I'm seeing the rise of a new meme. "You smell like robots" was printed on a poster, hanging up in Austin on the inside of a covered walkway. Subsequent google searches reveal little other than other people looking for information.
This image is on a site that is not in english. Clearly it's different from what I saw, being stenciled spraypaint. However, the words are the same and the lack of understanding is similar. There used to be a group called "The Rebel Alliance" here in Austin, that was spray painting the rebel logo onto various things here in town.
Most of the google search results had people asking "So what's with these posters in Austin that say 'You smell like robots'?". Someone on www.deviantart.com has it as their name or something, they keep coming up but nothing in the page text has robots.
I found a blog with "You smell like robots" as the title of an entry. When I wrote them, they were nice enough to mail back the following(used without permission but with a lot of appreciation):
So others are looking for info, and it may have come from a TV show.
I don't yet have a date range or birthday for this phrase, but I'm trying to find it. It only took what, a couple months to figure out where that pictogram of the crosswalk guy with the hula hoop came from. That one would have taken a day if I had started talking to Emo's right away.

i'm really surprised about all the hits i continue to get from people searching for "you smell like robots." the only time i've heard it is when i
was watching a tv show called "just shoot me" while i was writing that entry. some crazy lady just kept saying odd things to people, and i think then i heard "you smell like robots" i about died laughing. but then, i'm
easily amused.
that's the only reference to it that i know, though. i think it's probably the only one. hope i helped.
