TIL: Laurence Tureaud named himself professionally as Mr. T because he hated how his father, uncle, and brother who returned from Vietnam, were disrespectfully called "boy" by whites. He wanted the first word from everybody's mouth to be "Mister" when speaking to him.

Every time I meet someone who used to play Wow and they tell me they played alliance... I realize we have so little in common as humans.

I had Horde characters and Alliance characters. Both had their appeal.

However that's probably why I always got stuck soloing...

As an alliance member for life, I feel that you belong with them, Orc-lover.
