You ever heard of memory lane?

This is it. Just go down a timeline of internet memes since the thing got invented.

Ohhhh, man. I just spent way too much time reading this.

All Your Base is a bit older than March, 2001. I remember first seeing it after I'd started a new job in January of 2001, and from what I remember, I had come fairly late to it by then.

Unless they mean that was the date that it started gaining a certain level of popularity, of course.

Took me a while to catch on to the zoom thing, but it's neat - sort of helps mark the time, particularly from 1996 on. So much more started going on on the net in '04 - it gets really dense around that point.

Randomly, there is an actual street called Memory Lane near to my parent's house lol.

It's missing the Asian Prince (swoon!) and Mahir (I KISS YOU!!!!!).

Also, three cheers for ate my balls. I still use that term when something annoys me.

"All Your Base Belong To Us" *chuckle* I remember how I nearly came out of my chair laughing when I saw someone hold up an "All Your Base Belong To Us" sign in front of the camera during a Wrestlemania event.

Ahh... memories.... *silly grin*

That is very true. I wonder what it takes to edit it?

I used to work for an SF magazine and at a production meeting we discussed adding "All Your Base" references throughout the magazine. The EIC looked at us like we'd grown extra heads, so we knew it wasn't too late in the lifecycle.

I think they ascribe that to the creation of 4chan.

I'm not sure how they set it up. The entries could use a bit more detail in some cases.

And I want that darn dance song someone made of it.
