Meanwhile, back at the Committee Hearing....

| If I have the story straight, "All your base are belong to us" was a poor English translation of some originally Japanese dialog in an old NES game. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| As far as I know, the phrase gained widespread public attention last year when it was featured on a web site full of similarly bad translations. | |
| | |
|

|
|
|
|
| | |
| This site has since disappeared, but if you run a web search for "zany video game quotes", you'll probably find its former addresses. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Why this phrase in particular became popular, instead of any of the many other humorously bad translations on the site, is anyone's guess. My research didn't suggest anything. | |

| Well tarnation, all this blabberin' ain't helpin' me none! Is 'e pleadin' guilty or not guilty? | |

| I've told you before, Senator Thurmond, this is *not* a criminal trial! And for god's sake, please stop trying to plant that flag everywhere! | |
