I recall seeing it during the first half or so of my
ten years at Sun.  That woulda been somewhere between
1986 and 1990.  The guy there who used it most often
said it was a common signoff at Xerox PARC in the early
80's.  That version didn't include the "y'rs" part, though,
making it just that wee bit more crpytic.  

Archeo-logic-ly,
