In Baldur's Gate, the protagonist has the opportunity to say the following...

"(Facetiously) I am Dinkamus Littlelog and I come in search of the holy groundhog."

That is all.

I'm not sure. I found it on wikiquotes and it vaguely rings a bell.

Pretty cool, eh?

Life? What's that? Can I download it?! 
Woah, that is a obscure Dink Smallwood reference indeed. Heck, it must've been on purpose. What could the holy groundhog mean then?

Yea, the line does sound familiar, I just never made the connection. Nice find!

I think it might be something you can say to the wizard dude in the High Hedge area... or not. I feel like I can *almost* remember where it goes, which is rather infuriating.

I recently replayed all of Bg1 but can't remember that line. It's full of awesomesauce though to be referenced in a godlike game like that I'm sure the groundhog references pigfarming somehow

I was actually pointing that at Scratcher's comment. For you, hence why it doesn't make sense.

It's full of stuff that's in the game, that's why it probably doesn't make any sense to you. (I'm guessing you've never played Baldur's Gate before.)

Yeah, I've never played BG before. The comment was a joke, and had nothing to do with not understanding it for real. Oh and by the way, it's spelled sense.
