"All your base are belong to us" is a perfectly formed sentence, if one is using japanese grammar, which, incidentally differs somewhat from english.

If memory serves, said quote originates from some multiplayer FPS game in which the objective was to capture the enemys bases. Once this objective was completed, the japanese players politely informed their adversaries that all their bases now belonged to them. In english the sentence would have read:

"all your bases belong to us."

The japanese, however, often have a hard time learning foreign languages, especially english, when it comes to word order. In english, a sentences meaning can vary depending on the order the words are in. From a japanese viewpoint, this is utter nonsense. Japanese sentences have their words in a precise order and no excuses. So, in constructing a sentence in perfectly logical japanese fashion, the end result became internet history.

All your base are belong to us.
