You know that line format that's used in icons, LJ comments etc., and goes something like: "IM IN UR [something] [whatever]IN UR [stuff]Z"?

Where does it come from?

I first saw some icons with this format (I distinctly remember an icon with a picture of a cat in a fridge, and the caption "IM IN UR FRIDGEZ EATIN UR FOODZ" or something like that), then noticed it's a relatively common line format. For some reason, I find it really funny.

I was just reminded of it thanks to a post on

mock_the_stupid. Read the post, then scroll down to read the comments. Particularly the one with that format - the one I replied to. It almost killed me with laughter.
(I made an icon with it, too! It's in my second comment - and uploaded in my userpics :D)

So... does anyone know?

Thanks,
Anna.
