Editing Talk:Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2

==OutKast ref?==
Anyone think it's possible that "in the place to be" is an OutKast reference?  There are two different songs on Speakerboxxx that use that phrase, "Ghetto Musick" and "Flip-Flop Rock" (and the latter uses it over and over again).  It's a bit of a stretch, but TBC have made references to OutKast before, e.g. in [[spring cleaning]] and [[Halloween Fairstival]].

Does anyone have any clue what that easter egg is all about? [[User:Hobophobic|--Hobo]]

I think it might just be [[The Brothers Chaps]] making fun of that Polish guy. [[User:Daheiji|-Daheiji]]
==Closed STUFF==
=== Fifty frickin' wings (DECLINED) ===
The King's line "fifty frickin' wings" could be referring to Fricker's, a restaurant famous for their "frickin' chicken wings."
*'''Neutral''' I've never head of Fricker's. &rarr;[[User:evin290|evin290]] 14:50, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Could've sworn I've seen this one submitted before...if not, theres still not much to go on with this one proof wise.[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept''' It doesn't get any clearer than this.
*Is it in Georgia or thereabouts? If not it's probably not a reference. I'm not going to say accept or decline since I don't have an actual username. I used to but I forgot it.
*'''Accept''' I support this one because I do not think TBC would use the word "frickin'" to sound like a well known four-letter word in the english language. --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]
**There's "THE FRIGGIN CHEAT" in [[local news]]. [[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]] 12:35, 27 Jan 2005 (MST)
***This is true...but from what I was taught, frickin' is stronger than just friggin --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]
**There's also "guy's like a frickin' house" in [[A Decemberween Pageant]]. '''Decline.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Accept!''' However, i've only seen Frcikers in Ohio, but who knows...
*'''Revise''' A touch more information on Fricker's is needed, such as where the chain can be found. [[User:Eujensc|Eujensc]] 17:14, 20 Feb 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' because I doubt TBC has heard of Fricker's either. According to their website, they're only located in Ohio, save for two restaurants in Fort Wayne and Richmond (Indiana). [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 07:36, 2 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' They probably decided on "frickin'" for the same reason Fricker's did: it sounds like "chicken". --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 20:10, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:33, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment.''' Here's a [http://www.frickers.com/locations.asp Frickin'] link!
*'''Weak accept.''' It's still possible, as TBC may have visited Ohio and/or Indiana once or twice. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 20:12, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept.''' I live in ATL, and could swear that I've seen that placr a couple times. --[[clashman]] 18:55,9 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Decline, the word "frickin'" used before "wings" means nothing to me. Are there even Frickers' in Atlanta?

Is there any way we can get this nailed down?&nbsp;-- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:04, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:Seems most are the same. Some people have "flight" for "ice cream", but assuming "ice cream" is correct, they're all basically the same. "Hi, Marzipan, it's Łukasz. Do you want to go out for ice cream? Please call me. I'll be at home, as usual." You won't have one definitive translation of conversational language. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

'''EDIT CONFLICT:''' Well provided our Polish transcript is accurate, Machine Translation seems to agree on several main points:
#A greeting to Marzipan.
#Identify as Łukasz. 
#Something to do with ice-cream.
#Something related to calling him.
#Mention of his house.

That leaves these options as the most probable:
#"Hi, Marzipan! This is Łukasz speaking. Would you care for some ice-cream? Please phone me. I'll be home, as usual." [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Marzipan%27s_Answering_Machine_Version_11.2&diff=5470&oldid=4916]

I'm thinking of a number between one and five... {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:55, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
:We want the most conversational version possible. Remember, a word-for-word decoding of a foreign language is usually quite stilted. The Polish will say things differently because that's how the language developed, but if the same person were to say it in fluent English, it'd come out as conversational English. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:58, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
::Ok, the 2nd sentence is definitely "This is Łukasz", there is no word for "speaking" (although it could be implied from context) (by the way, Lucas would probably be an acceptable conversion of Łukasz), my knowledge of polish doesn't extend much further, but will get my grandmother (who is polish) to have a listen tomorrow and see what she says. -- Z aspiryną, [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 21:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
