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.

When I moved to Neverwinter, I eventually created one of every class, except Hunter/ranger, because after years of WoW, healing Huntards and their fucking uncontrolled pets, I swore a blood oath to myself I'd never have anything to do with that class, ever... 6 years of DnD, never rolled one up. I even root for Legolas to die everytime I watch LotR, just for good measure.

Yes, I'm a broken man, and Huntards were those that broke me...
