The History of the Nancing Pony
November 2002
During the hype for The Two Towers, Your Momma's Girl and Sexy Beast noticed that there was something mighty strange about the actors. They pondered for weeks, but alas, they could not figure it out. Why were all the actors jumping each other? Why were they kissing each other? Who would do such a thing? While we brainstormed on why the actors were humping each other in public, Your Momma's Girl and I thought, "Well, you know what would be a really bad idea? A Lord of the Rings musical!" And so, we started to write song parodies instead of doing our Physics homework. One of these days, we'll even have a script.
January 2003
Your Momma's Girl realized what was strange about the actors, and on a hunch, she Googled the phrase "Elijah Wood gay". In 0.48 seconds, out of 46,000 results, we found Elijah Wood is Very, Very Gay. This website convinced us that Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan were hot-n-heavy gay lovers. The scheming had begun. "But, wait a minute!" Exclaimed Your Momma's Girl in an epiphany, "What about Orlando Bloom? He seems very, very gay himself! There should be an "Orlando Bloom is Very, Very Gay. I mean isn't he out bi or something? And all the fangirls squealing, it's just plain annoying." We planned and schemed for about a month. Originally, we made a few manips here and there that we'd planned to publish in our school's satire magazine, but nothing really serious.
March 2003
Your Momma's Girl finally opened The Nancing Pony for business. The original site featured about six comics, one item in the store, and one rant. After a while, we started to upload more and more comics until we stopped doing our homework altogether.
April 2003
MayMortenLawSen and BiggerTaylorBoydStaff joined the Cult of the Nancing Pony. The evilnessnessness continued. The three-page site had now mutated to house several song parodies, MSTs, a special manips and sketchy photos section, links, and a guestbook (sign it, dammit!)
May 2003
MMLS and YMG found out that some moron was actually paying _6M for a Lord of the Rings musical. Initially outraged at this blatant idea-theft, we finally resolved to change our LOTR musical into a rock opera.
August 2003
we bought NancingPony.com, and submitted the site to Google. We went from three hits a day (which was mostly us) to around thirty. Around this same time, YMG's brother Dan joined the MST staff. What an evil child....
September 2003
Sexy Beast started whoring the site on LiveJournal. It was then that we started exceeding bandwidth, but we were getting 126 hits a day! We were famous! In a few days, we broke our March record of 362 hits, and topped 1200 hits in a week. Crazy craziness.
October 2003
Recently, there have been two new additions to the staff: Kel and JLP. We are now also open on LiveJournal as the "nancingpony" community.
November 2003
We have done the impossible. YMG, SB and MMLS went on TRL to meet Billy, Dom and Elijah! God, are they gay....
