Had a great 12 mile run this morning. Got a late start since I was out late for 2 nights in a row! My cheap little mp3 player made the time fly by. The earbuds need to go though.
Sir Elton comes to Charlotte Bobcats Arena. Some one asked me earlier if he was the Queen of England. Good question. We may get the answer after seeing what he's wearing during the show.
Lots of friends will be there tonight, maybe not all Elton John fans but at least it's a good excuse to get out and see the brand new building. Go ahead indulge in some Center City nightlife afterwards.
Just added a couple of links to the site, the cult favorite "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" and the "Moon Song".
From Wikipedia:
"All your base are belong to us." (sometimes referred to as "All Your Base" or abbreviated AYBABTU or simply AYB) is a phrase that sparked an Internet phenomenon in 2001 and 2002. The text is taken from the poorly-translated opening found in the English version of the Japanese video game Zero Wing, originally produced by Toaplan in 1989. Groups of game enthusiasts began to digitally alter various images to include the phrase. Eventually, these images were collected together onto one site and a Flash animation produced from them, which was widely downloaded. The original Quicktime movie can be found here. The most popular version of the video, set to music by The Laziest Men on Mars, can be found here.
The infamous quotations were taken from the European localization of the Sega Mega Drive port released in 1992. The arcade version of Zero Wing does not include the quote, nor any other dialogue; the intro for the PC Engine version has CD quality spoken dialogue, but has a completely different introduction. Zero Wing was never released in North America, and therefore never came to the Sega Genesis, the North American Mega Drive.
"All Your Base" is interesting because it demonstrated the Internet's power to quickly spread idiosyncratic messages that would never have been covered by the traditional mass media. Although the fad has died down, the phrase continues to be one of the most commonly quoted examples of "Engrish". The phrase is also often used as a battle cry on many competitive video games, particularly ones played over the Internet.
Take a break and sing along. It'll make ya smile........
