This one popped in mind when I was grocery shopping yesterday- If I'm going to be giggling in stores I need to try to have some kind of explanation. "yeah, there's this thing on the internet where you say you're somewhere doing something and... never mind."

It comes from some multiplayer game - starcraft or something like that. Apocryphally, one player infiltrated another player's stronghold and then uttered the immortal phrase, "i am in ur base killing ur doodz".
There's a page about it at the site Encyclopedia Dramatica. The text is NSFW!
I haven't seen any really good information about where it started. All the claims seem a little shady, especially since people say similar things a lot while playing computer games.
I'm not entirely sure where my "picklez" variation came from. In fact I forgot I wrote it and laughed out loud when I clicked on the above link, only to experience the extreme cognitive dissonance of laughing at oneself.
I... I can only assume I'm clinically insane. Though if I am going to go stark raving mad, the thought of someone spontaneously giggling out loud in a grocery store over a one liner involving pickles that I don't remember writing is at least some sort of consolation prize.
