| Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00 | So, I pick up my March 5 issue of Time today, wondering once again how the fuck I got a subscription, when low and behold, the first page I open to has a picture of our good friend Cats in the "Trend Alert" section, reminding me that all my base are belong to him...the bastard. So, here's the article: Product: A cult Internet rock video showing the syntax-mangling phrase incorporated everywhere on earth How It Started: Drawn from the 1989 video game Zero Wing, known for its awful Japanese-to-English translations Judgement Call: This hip catch phrase are a mystery for us. Nothing is more adored by cubicle-dwelling Gen-Xers than geek kitsch. And nothing is geekier or kitschier than Japanese video games of the 1980's, back when efficient translation was not considered essential. The dialogue of Zero Wing contains such gems as "Somebody set us up the bomb," "Take off every Zig for great justice" and a chilling warning from a villain known only as Cats: "All your base are belong to us." Late last year, fans with too much time on their hands started doctoring photos to show this last phrase cropping up everwhere from George W. Bush billboards to Budweiser ads to the cover of Time. Then Kansas City computer programmer and part-time deejay Jeffery Ray Roberts, 23, sampled the quote and added an annoyingly catchy dance track. "I did it for the sheer inside-joke value," he says. "Everyone was trying to one-up each other." Next came a two-minute music video, and soon "All your base!" was being yelled out of dorm windows on campuses around the country. Much like its Web predecessors, the Dancing Baby and the "I kiss you!" home page of Turkish journalist Nahir, All Your Base spread from office to office via e-mail like a benign virus. As a slide show rather than bandwdth-hogging video, it takes seconds to load (on such websites as thefever.com/AYB2.swf). Much of the spreading was being done last week by dotcom workers in San Francisco and the Silicon Valley, where good laughs are in short supply these days. But the inside joke may not be inside much longer: All Your Base T-shirts are now being sold online. -By Chris Taylor. Well, there you go. Just thought you guys would like to know that, thanks to JeffK letting us in on the "new trend", we're all just a little bit cooler. I want a t-shirt. FOR GRAET JUSTICE!!
