Rush shuts down DU again!

[ConservativeMan55]

Rush is quoting posters from DU again. They're server crashed!

He was quoting about how posters thought Bush was more of a danger than Saddam!

"Um, no. IIRC it was a Japanese official speaking about our bases in Okinawa after some Marines did some bad things to the locals. He wanted to kick us off Japanese soil and claim the land. He was quoted as saying (paraphrased due to the passage of time...), "All your bases are belong to us."

Um, you're way off, I'm afraid. It come from a Japanese video game. It was from the late '80's, early 90's I think, and the translation to English of the "intro" of the game was so bad it was hilariously funny. Along with other phrases such as "Make your time" and "Someone set us up the bomb!", it reached the status of internet legend.

I'll try to find a link for you. There's been some hilarious photoshop collages making fun of it that include snapshots of the video game that the whole "All your bases are belong to us" comes from.

Looking at your profile page you are either RL or his #1 fan.Nothing wrong with either.

[ConservativeMan55]

He must be a troll...he still doesn't understand.

[pgyanke]

Well, that would be purpose of prefacing remarks with "IIRC." My tagline is too true...

Thanks for clarifying!

[ConservativeMan55]

Nothing wrong with being both. I'm not Rush...but Rush is probably his number 1 fan.

[Porterville]

Rush is doing the work of Pest Control and ridding our system of the infestation.... Thank God!!

[ConservativeMan55]

Love the tagline!

[who knows what evil?]

Might be time for a little activism...for those of you who can swing it financially; how about a little ad placed in the 'Personals' column of the Sunday paper? To wit: "Want to see how Democrats REALLY think? www.democratunderground.com." (Eight-ten bucks max.) Shine the light right on these intolerant, foul-mounthed, anti-America, anti-Christian SOB's, and do it now! Expose these heathens to the voters in the "middle", and let the chips fall where they may!

anti-Christian SOB's

If they hate Lieberman so much, too, just because he is religious then they don't just hate Christians. They seem to hate the Christians and the Jews equally.

[BossLady]

LOL!

Democratic Underground = Name Saddam's Former Residence

I am a long time lurker and new poster, somewhere along the line I missed the "All your (whatever) are belong to us" reference. Just curious as to where it's from. Carry on.

It's from a bad translation of a Japanese game...

Simply put, the phrase (abbreviated AYBABTU) is derived from a really bad Japanese-to-English translation in a 10-year-old video game, Zero Wing.

Maybe this will help:

Here you go! This one is hilarious. The first 20 seconds are so are from the actual video game that started the whole thing, and then it turns into a -hilarious- musical montague of photoshopped pictures with "All your base are belong to us" spliced in. You gotta check it out. It's hugely entertaining. My favorite is the guy at the U.N. with the U.N. symbol and "All your base are belong to us" underneath. It's -beautifully- done, they all look authentic.

Ahhhhh. Very interesting!

The series thing also started much longer ago than people think. Hugh also started long ago!

I don't know. She's no Ann Coulter or Laura Ingham..but she's not bad looking either.
