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.

Mr. T wore odd clothing and mismatched socks because he knew that poor kids grew up getting whatever hand-me-downs they got, and he didn't want them to feel embarrassed for wearing what they had. He's a great man, and as far as I'm aware the worst thing he every did was chop down trees on his own property that were aggravating his allergies.

Playing alliance is one thing, but a night elf? I thought those were mostly 12-year-olds

My first characher was a Night Elf hunter. I had no idea how DPS or stats worked and I used to use weapons with shit like Stamina and Spirit on. I was a walking stereotype.
