So we should throw a hamburger at him? It’s very symbolic of America, I suppose, and it’ll take him quite a while to wash all that ketchup out of his beard. Wasn’t Burger King working on a “Smart Whopper” with laser-guidance capabilities? We could begin with a preliminary saturation strike, led by coalition forces from White Castle and Krystal. Unfortunately India would never allow us to use their airspace for such a campaign. ---

Well now NATO’s in the picture, there are a range of culinary options. My understanding is that, as we speak, Tony Blair has put both Yorkshire Pudding and Spotted Dick on red alert. Lets see how that like that ! Wait, a message from France is coming in…All…your…base…sauces…belong…to…us… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by kniz \* > \*\*So, does this mean no one has a clue? \*\* Of course I have a clue. Trust me, my coworkers are sick of hearing about things that “belong to us” or that “somebody set up us.” 😉 “All your base are belong to us!!” is a phrase from the poorly-translated intro to a an ancient Sega game called Zero Wing. It used to be part of my .sig (“take off every .sig!!”) until I got a better one. You can read about the whole phenomenon [here](http://hubert.retrogames.com/article.php?sid=1). > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by carnivorousplant_ > **What you say?** You have no chance to survive.
