I’ve seen umpteen variations on this in images, mostly on LiveJournal… I am assuming that it is a parody of something but I don’t know what. Help?

Oooh, I just learned this last week, it’s from an online game and was originally “I am in your base killing your d00ds”. Here’s the [story](http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/I_am_in_your_base_killing_your_d00ds) from Encyclopedia Dramatica:

> [@](#):
>
> Teh origin of this meme  
> Two players (one unnamed, the other known as 1337h4x (leetspeak for “Fucking Nerd”) are in a game of Starcraft, with 1337h4x playing as the Zerg race, and the other as either the Terran or Protoss races. 1337h4x Zerg-rushed his opponent, and on finding that he was getting raped, his opponent asked:
> 
> \<n00b\>dude, where are you?
> 
> \<1337h4x\> im in ur base, killing ur d00ds

Just a weird internet meme like “all your bases belong to us”. Here’s my [favorite knock-off](http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Image:Fridgecat.jpg).

Someone had a cat blog with daily submissions. After a while, people starting captioning them in broken English.

Can’t find the blog right now, though.

I’d love to find that again, or copies of the pictures in jpeg format. I want to send them to my daughter (away at school), one a day, just for laughs. Any one know where to find them or have copies of them?  
There was a really cute one that said, “I made you a cookie, but I eated it” that she liked.

There’s even a website for it now:

Some of the captions are whooshing me though. Guess I’m gittin’ old…

Wow, it doesn’t take much, does it? I hope I don’t inadvertently create an Internet meme.
