He's always been there, haunting my childhood nightmares. I never knew what that evil presence was until I arrived at Apolyton

I started posting regularly as a consequence of the Civ3 General flame wars. Do you need to know more?

From sunday black & white kids matinees at the local cinema - watching spaceships that seemed to run on sparklers and seemed to always crash by spiralling down in ever decreasing circles!
Our paths crossed again in glorious technicolour years later - it's thanks to him that I got introduced to the greatness of 'Queen', the madness of Brian Blessed and scenes of pink cartoon hippos dancing ballet that will haunt me for the rest of my life! 
(We saw Flash Gordon as a double bill with Fantasia - god only knows why. I blame my parents!  )
Of course, even being impaled through the guts by the Ajax hasn't slowed him down as we saw him pick his ring up in the last scene...
Who knows what future horrors he has planned for the denizens of Apolyton...!?
Just anything but the pink hippos!

Well, Stewie's turned into a rampant right wing capitalist - what do you expect!?
Besides, I doubt he's nice to his Sheep - expect he cheats on her with others in the flock...

Usually, that doesn't happen until they get older, leave college, and have to get a real job and support themselves
And as far as the sheep... he double dates with MikeH

That looks like a vicious cross between a bug and some other god-forsaken entity.

I think the main contact I had with him was when we were debating welfare against each other............

IIRC you were one of the lefties in that thread too bad the archives got purged, we lost some nice debates
still tho that thread has some of your few serious pre-mod posts. IIRC you were quite the spammer in your pre-mod days

I first encountered Ming a few days after I registered at Apolyton back in February 2000.
My doorbell was buzzing; I answered it, and there stood a Fed Ex driver with an unexpected delivery from Chicago, highest priority. She was balancing a meat-and-cheese tray in hand, and had a basket of fresh fruit near her feet.
"Who's this from?" I asked, perplexed.
She shook her head. "Don't ask me. He just paid for everything and signed off as 'Ming' of all things."
So I enjoyed Ming's Welcome-To-Apolyton gifts. The meat-and-cheese tray was delicious, Ming! And the apples were nice and ripe, the oranges sweet and the bananas succulent!
So that's my story, fellow Apolytoners, of how I met Ming.

Hm. Ming has always existed, of course. Since the beginning of times.
An entire wall of a chamber inside the Great Pyramid makes reference to him, and he is also depicted in some paintings at Pompeii.
The Discovery Channel would not lie to me.

it took quite a while for me. i spent most of my first year in AC-G/H/S, which is un-modded. it wasn't until i ventured off to the poly/community forum that i even noticed mods existed, let alone Ming.
i think the first time i saw ming was when he was kermit the frog

When I came over from alpha.owo, I noticed these words "Moderated by: Ming (somebody else)".
