I keep seeing this. I mean, I get the joke, sort of. Folks use it sort of like they interject a bit of 133t to lighten the mood or engage in gentle mockery. Perhaps its a generic example of Engrish or some other butchery of the English language that can be spoofed for the purposes of humor.
But I get the feeling it’s a reference to something specific, like maybe a film or a comic standup routine. Or is it a SDMB home-grown meme?

133t?
Dude, where is my country and language? I don’t understand alot of the posts this Monday morning.
Did I wake up an Alzheimer’s victim? Possible TIA?

There was this poster named Thaidog who created that masterpiece. He went mental in a Pit thread about the Pet Rock.
Funny stuff.
Someone will come along with a link.

Thank you, sir!
I’m guessing [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=203185) is the thread to which you were referring.
Absolutely stunning. I’ve seen some gaskets get blown, but that’s a thing of beauty, right there. I only wish I could have been aware of the meltdown when it happened. Again, thanks for the pointer.

That thread never fails to bring a tear to my eye.

You know, I’ve read it before, but it’s still making me laugh like a loon.

Oh yeah. That’s some high-definition haid-asplodin’ goodness if ever there was. Learning the genesis of “I burning your dog!” has literally made my day. Spectacular.

“Chill them crackers out…”
Priceless. Absolutely priceless. It’s not right to laugh at crazy people but… :snikker:

Many thanks, **Finnagain**. 133t gives me a headache.
It’s official. I’m old.

Heh. I was only 23 when I started getting the urge to tell my fellow students to pull up their goddamn pants and ferchrissake put your cap on properly. I look forward to the day when I can be a crotchety old fart yelling, “Get off my damn lawn!” at the neighborhood yard-monkeys.
I _always_ hated 133t, even when I was a teenage computer geek.

My pleasure.
For what it’s worth I’m somewhat young, a student of linguistics and language use… and leetspeek gives **me** a headache.
Oh, and sorry about misspelling your name up above. I assure you no disrespect was intended.

You know, all this time I thought that pit was about the Pet Rock. On rereading, I see that it is not.
Huh. Live and learn.

For everything you never wanted to know about leet, click [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=321513) and [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=321793&page=1&pp=50) and [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=5978284). I must admit to being unable to decipher eunoia’s leet dialect given in Cecil’s article. It must be some form of High Elvish Leet.

It truly reads like the first paragraph of an unpublished James Joyce novel.
