So after I ate my vegan french toast there in the Morning Glory Cafe (hard by the Eugene, Oregon Amtrak station), I went into the restroom. Guess what graffito I saw. (AKA, confess your vandalism, fellow doper!)

My guess is that it was “When come back, bring pie,” but that it wasn’t a Doper who wrote it.

“I burning your dog.” ?

“All your base are belong to us.” ?

Kilroy was here - once, for 20 minutes in the early 60’s.

**Rhubarb wins!** And the meme is…

_All your base are belong to us._

Pie, Opal, or burning dogs would have pointed more clearly to this board, if not its members, and “all your base” is widely distributed, but it still made me think fondly of all of you as I waited for the train. It was the same feeling I had when I saw an Andre the Giant sticker in the Old City of Jerusalem, recalling my RISD-proximate years in Providence, RI.
