My example:

.

Me perdí de camino a la fiesta así que seguí a la gente que estaba vestida como yo, pero la verdad es que ¡creo que están más perdidos que yo!

I got lost on the way to the party, so I followed people dressed like me, but the truth is, I think they're more lost than I am!

"This is 007. I'm pretty sure its the guy with the small head, pointed nose, short legs, and arms that won't hang by his side"

"Aquí 007. Estoy bastante seguro de que es el tipo de cabeza pequeña, nariz puntiaguda, patas cortas y brazos que no le cuelgan a los lados."

Hey friend because you look like a penguin, are dressed like a penguin, walk like a penguin does not make you a penguin.

Oye amigo, porque te ves como un pingüino, se vestía como un pingüino, caminar como un pingüino no te hace un pingüino.

Oye amigo porque parezcas un pingüino, vayas vestido como un pingüino, camines como un pingüino... no te hace un pingüino.

"Pájaros de un mismo plumaje vuelan juntos."

Es un refrán en inglés, que quiere decir que los que tienen los mismos dones andan juntos y comparten las mismas cosas.

There is a refrain which says, " Birds of a feather flock together," Which means those with the same qualities travel together and share the the same things.

It's a line from Men In Black. The new guy puts on the black suit for the first time, turns to his partner, and says, "You know the difference between you and me? I make this look good." - Leatha, Feb 16, 2011
