Strangest place you've seen Yao Ming

Nerd Alert!!!!

 

I saw Yao Ming's dad at Randalls looking at lawn furniture. On TV he dosent look tall, he is. He also did the patent arm holding behind the back. It runs in the family.

 

from Hippieloser:

On the 59 feeder (heading south) between Kirby and Buffalo Spdwy. No, I don't buy toys, but I made a tidy little sum in the early '80's with comic books. At my peak I had a $120 a month subscription there.

 

Lowes in Katy.. he was out with his dad...

 

driving down I-10 around the beltway at 8AM in traffic in his beemer driving next to me.

 

I sat next to Yao's dad, George Ming, on a plane once...

 

At a bus stop in Toronto hitting on some Latina chick while trying to avoid some stalker dude in a pickup truck.

 

Yao is the last name and Ming is actually his first name...just so you know.

 

The man sat next to you was not Yao's dad, liar!
I'm sure his father's name is George Yao.

 

or is it Yao George?

 

I saw him in VANCOUVER, doing the same.

 

I don't know why, but the George Ming gag never ceases to amuse me. Probably because it repeatedly gets guys with a tiny number of posts to delurk for once.

 

no, you're wrong, otherwise his name would be Ming Yao. I went to Thailand once and one of my friends is chinese so I should know.

 

Uhhh, so thats why Yao is on the back of his jersey.

I heard Bill and Calvin talking about it a while back. Yao is his last name, and Ming is his first name. A lot of people were wondering why Ming was not on the back of his jersey and they explained it.

 

don't shoot the messenger fellas. I'm just giving you the straight dope.

proof for the noobs ^ a little peice of history.

 

Yao is his family name and Ming is his given name.

surname first and the given name second or last name first and first name last

 

I saw him buying some groceries in the HEB on Fry Road once....
And if you think he looks big on TV you should see him in person. He could probably just stand there and look right over the grocery isles......

 

You couldn't have summed it up better.

 

I saw him once on the recieving end of a Bobby Sura pass.

 

At Smith Tower near Methodist Hospital in Med Center
