OK, possibly funny the first time - if it wasn’t for the fact that I encounter a _lot_ of badly mistranslated media. But after the 1,243rd time around? :shrugs: Oh well. ---

My OP has received alot of criticism (for reasons obvious). Well, _I_ thought it was funny. Then again, I had just remembered that site and payed a little visit. Anyway, I had fun with it. But I think you all are right :(…let’s just let it die. ---

I still think AYB is funny (but then, I’m not a good indicator; I never got tired of the “Macarena” song); it’s just that everything one might say about AYB has been said a few million times already. And I’m not sure that that’s an exaggeration. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor \* > \*\*Heck, my sig line is better than the OP! \*\* Move ‘sig’. For great justice. ---

Seeming how this thread was ruined from the start. I think I’ll hijack it. What does OP mean anyway? ---

It came from a badly translated video game, and the geeks put it on the map. I’m sure someone will be along with the link anytime now. ---

**flood** , you’re supposed to do a variant on the original. Like what **RTF** did. Or this example: [All your Bush are belong to us.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3809527&highlight=bush#post3809527) Another variant of an oft used one-liner: When come back, bring [cheese](http://www.weebl.jolt.co.uk/cheese.htm) but make sure it’s not green. ---

Did anyone else ever actually play through that game, it had the wierdest damn ending. A bunch of dancing raisins came on the screen and sang a little song. ---
