Talk:Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Finally, I gots me a full transcript. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 07:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Heim (Or anybody else up at this hour): Message 3 - The remix. Transcribe the lyrics, or just mention that the song plays? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 07:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Jay totally took care of it. Now put all your money into your mailbox for... uh, for safekeeping, 'cuz I promise it'll all be there in the morning. No way would I... I mean, would somebody come along and take it! Okay, bye! --Lorenz Magazine Man 07:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Knee vs 'Neath

I could be wrong, but on message 2, I think I heard "with a length of twine coming from the 'neath."--Antisexy

I concur. --Jay o'Lantern (Haunt) 07:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

"The 'neath" also fits with the same theme as "the 'bove" from Strong Bad's children's book. -- 67.161.78.153 09:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

As do I, already changed. Knee didn't sound right while I was transcribing it, but I couldn't hear it saying anything better. I hate the old-timey jargin. Thanks Antisexy. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 07:59, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Raymond E. Feist

Is it just me, or does it seem very unlikely the Old-Timey Homestar would be making a reference to a modern fantasy novel? Me, I understood "Hi Sign", as in a wave of the hand.--Tosus 09:43, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree. In fact, another "possible reference" to it was just added to the fun facts. I've heard that term used in many places. It's entering the realm of TTATOT. -YK 10:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, Webster's defines high sign as "a gesture used as a signal (as of approval or warning) -- usually used in the phrase 'give the high sign',"[1] wording almost identical to The Homestar Runner's. PolarBoy 10:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I just editted the page accordingly, I'd appreciate a proofread and maybe a high-sign regarding the wording and placement. My contributions are kind of hit-and-miss, so I'll just cross my fingers against a solid STUFFing. PolarBoy 10:31, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Split 7-inch

Anybody, know what a split 7-inch is? I think that would be worth an explanation on the article page. Also I don't know what the KOT mean by album needing to drop. I R F 12:52, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

This 7" disambiguation on Wikipedia was the closest thing I could find to "seven-inch" being related to audio. — Lapper (talk) 13:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article Split Record helps answer this question. Thus, a "split 7-inch" is a 7-inch diameter vinyl record containing a song by a different artist on each side.

You guys are right, but it's not necessarily one song per artist. It might be better to say "a record produced by two artists, each with songs on one side" or something to that effect. Just sayin'. ModestlyHotGirl 14:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Picture

Why a screenshot of an Easter egg? What about Homestar talking into a banana? — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 14:48, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I did bring that up on IRC last night. I'm all for the Bananna. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 15:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Agree, and done. — Bill 15:16, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

I dunno. That picture really doesn't look right: is there a better picture that's non-egg? Alcnolien Has Spoken! 18:11, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

No. The entire rest of the 'toon (besides the egg) is just the answering machine itself, visually speaking. --Jay o'Lantern (Haunt) 18:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

It's the bananaphone! www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/badgerphone.php

Cute animation, but no. :) —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

KOT Remix!!

Wow. I wish I had DJ Teh Cheat's amazing remix abilities. --_{NERD42  email  talk   h²g²  pedia  uncyc}  19:09, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Phone cord

Is this really a goof? It could be that the phone jack is just a foot or so above the outlet. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  19:38, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

homestar and marzipan living together?

something seems weird, why is homestar asking marzipan to get eggs and milk, and it always seems like homestar lives in her house with her since we never get to see whre homestar lives!

Compare: Homestar's House vs Marzipan's House. They're not living together. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 23:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

picture caption

You misspelt what homestairs spelt. He backspacebar'd the S.

Nevermind. Heehee..... ^^;;;

Pay, Plause, and Rewind Live TV!

The Remarks mention "three equally implausible explanations" for Homestar's banana-message. It isn't really constructive conversation, but I just wanted to state abent-mindedly and for the record that I prefer several even less plausible explanations. First, I rather like the notion that the sincerity of Homestar's delusion works a faith miracle of sorts; because he believes so thoroughly in the "phone-ness" of the banana, the message is successfully recorded. But really, the heart of the matter is that it's not Homestar and his banana that cause the message, but the other way 'round. The message exists because, well, it's a Marzipan's Answering Machine. And then Homestar walks past with the banana simply because it's necessary to fully exploit the comedic potential of his cell-phone enthusiasm. So the real mystery is not how the banana created the message, but how the message created the banana! —AbdiViklas 02:19, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

I think that (1) it's an obvious joke and any explanation dumbs down the whole thing, (B) it was STUFFed twice and was argued down each time, and (III) I cannot make my mind up as to how to do anything here. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  02:23, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh, Abdi. You make me laugh out loud sometimes. :) — It's dot com 02:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

If you really want to STUFF it, I won't stop you. I just reverted it before because were in mid-revision, and didn't want it shot down in it's original, disorganized, obvious-to-be-declined state. If you guys STUFF it, I'm not gonna revert it again. (But I will vote for it) ;) ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

New KOT...B?

Okay, am I the only one who thought of the New Kids On The Block? Stupid Coincidence? —AbdiViklas 02:28, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Haha, it's certainly in their time period of reference. But I think they would have been a bit clearer if it was supposed to be. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:29, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
