fellow kai lords,
i don't remember this logo either. that must have been before my lurking days
at project aon. i'd like to reiterate my thankfulness to everyone involved in
this project. i am deeply honoured to have been a part of it for a couple of
years.
in the spirit of geekery, i also want to point out that 'all your base are
belong to us' actually preceded pa. i think that particular affront by sega of
america was foisted upon the u.s.a. in 1991.
