Closed Fun Facts

Marzipan's Parasol (declined but overruled by DVD commentary)

Marzipan is carrying a toothpick parasol one would normally receive with a tropical drink, only hers seems to be much larger than normal. Except that tropical drink parasols are modelled after real parasols . . . which are, you know, real . . .

• Decline. I guess some people have never seen actual people-sized paper parasols. Marzipan's is not a drink parasol, it's an Asian-style paper one! Aurora the Homestar Coder 19:45, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Second Man, what a dumblecake. Rudeboy87 19:58, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Second I'm a dumblecake too then. I didn't realize just *how* similar a drink parasol resembles a real parasol till I looked up the two right now. An honest mistake on whoever's part, no need for insults.--rsl12 15:58, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)
    • You're insulted by the term "dumblecake?" Rudeboy87 08:30, 8 Apr 2005 (MDT)
• Decline The first part doesn't matter, and the second part doesn't make sense, or have anything to so with the first part! --acekirby13 20:05, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
• Decline. It's just a parasol.TakuaKaita600 16:46, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Looks like the conventional wisdom was utterly wrong on this one. From the DVD commentary:

MARZIPAN: Oh! That is the, um, the umbrella from Mike's cocktail.

MIKE: Yeah.

MARZIPAN: I just grabbed that at the last minute; I thought it really added to the scene.

MIKE: Yeah, I really like that.

MATT: It's clearly— yeah, it's clearly just a cocktail umbrella though, made large.

Ima add it back to the article! -- tomstiff 18:50, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)
