The people in my town are polite – I’ve written about how dangerously polite they are in the past. But today, on the city bus, I found out how far it really goes.

Take, for instance, the graffiti:

Here’s something a little edgier: It originally said, “All your base are belong to us,” until a handy grammarian came along and corrected it to, “All your bases belong to us.”

    That’s epic! I love it. And I see everyone already said it’s a pop culture reference to a poorly translated video game, so I won’t say any more than I acknowledge their position.

    That first one is awesome. I also said to myself after seeing it, she must live in Canada 😉

    Actually, the grammar fix is wrong. The original is an actual quote from a video game called Zero Wing. It’s a bad translation that gained a lot of Internet fame.
