Talk:Mob Penguin cellular phone
Hey, I've got an idea: somebody test to see what happens when you use the cell phone on an emaciated yeti up in the recent past icy peak. It might actually work. --Teenr0cker 00:07, 2 Nov 2005 (MST)
Tried it. Got the "where are we/mists" text. --Eugene 01:32, 2 Nov 2005 (MST)
The "where are we/mists" text is a reference to an episode of The Sopranos where Paulie and Chris get lost in the woods while chasing a Russian mobster.--Caplin 05:24, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
I got one of these tonight (08/29/06) from a frozen Mob Penguin. Tried it in combat, got the "where are we/ mists" text.--RotiniBarilla 00:51, 30 August 2006 (CDT)
You guys sure it's not a reference to silent hill/have the a link to the specific quote from the sopranos? --Llamaman 14:11, 2 September 2006 (CDT)
Anyone know what the message was when it wasn't against another penguin?--DoctorWorm 23:16, 2 January 2007 (CST)
So this item is basically worthless now? --Lukarnis 14:52, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
June 17 Update
Against the Mob Penguins there, I got this message:
You make a call. You hear nothing but crackling and popping. "Aww, snap," you think to yourself.

Ancient History
I managed to uncover the original use message after digging around on the forums a bit. I'm assuming it's supposed to be a meat gain and Jick hadn't fixed it just yet. Take that, mists of time! --TechSmurf 01:08, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
- My recollection is that the results were not always identical: sometimes you got Meat, sometimes they attacked your opponent, etc. --Baltar 02:06, 18 June 2007 (CDT)
Post-NS13 Combat Message

Crimbo 2008 messages?
Since the Penguins are back for Crimbo 2008, are there new messages? Of course, you know better than to use it on a penguin! --Jimfromtx 05:16, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Just used one against the elves and I got the message
You make a call. The voice on the other end says "Guino, can you hear me? This storm is causing all kindsa interference. Can you hear me now? Good."
so looks like nothing changed (since that was a previous message--Zuluzulu1234 11:48, 9 December 2008 (CTZ)
