Base Assignment? 13
rnayr asks: "Recently, my employer asked me to sign an 'All You Base Assignment Agreement'. Now, as it happens, I have been working on my base in my own time at home, and I don't want it to belong to them. I brought the issue up with HR, and I was basically told 'You have no chance to survive make your time'. I'm beginning to feel like someone set up us the bomb. So, I'm writing to Slashdot for great justice. Has anyone had to deal with a similar issue? All I really want is for this meme to get out of my head."

I'm still wondering if it's a good investment to get me one of those AYBABTU t-shirts on ThinkGeek. Or will it fade out in a few more months?

...But the game in question - Zero Wing (on the Sega Genesis) - was originally Japanese, and the English translation was one of the most pathetic and amusing (for its time) translations ever. And it was made in the early 90's, not the 70's. :)
I suppose it's one of those things people found amusing at the time, but these days you can barely go anywhere without hearing another AYBABTU quote. But then, there's always geeks like me who only found out about the All Your Base thing recently, so still find it endlessly amusing to suddenly yell "What happen!" or "For great justice!", much to the confusion of my friends.

Considering Zero Wing was made ten years ago, and the AYBABTU craze is still as widespread as ever - if not more so - it seems unlikely that it'll fade out in a few months. Who knows, in another 10 years' time, people might still be quoting from that accursed game.
The thing I've always wondered is: why does everyone find Zero Wing amusing, but other badly-translated things annoying? Hmm...
