I was visiting a cafe out in the country this morning, about 40 miles east of Temple, Texas. It was Green Sausage Market and Cafe. A lot of farmers and older folk visit the place, as it has a good breakfast plate for about $6.
I came there to pick up an order of 5 dozen Kolaches, when I got there, the order wasn’t ready, they was on the racks cooling. So I grabbed a stool at the bar, sat down and ordered a cup of coffee. I looked over to my left there was a older black gentleman, must have been in his 70s. After some small talk, I come to find out he’s an avid Modern Warfare player. He was telling me his kill stories. We was laughing, having a good time.
Then I felt a tap at my shoulder, it was an another older gentleman with his wife. He sported a white Santa Claus beard, wearing blue denim overalls, the wife was wearing a house dress with a jacket. They must have been in their mid 60s.
He asked me. “Diablo, Hearthstone, World of Warcraft, or Overwatch?”
I looked at him, puzzled. I responded “World of Warcraft”
I large grin came over him “Ah! You play!”
“Yup, what faction?”
"Alliance, you?
I smiled “Horde”. We laughed, then the wife made the comment “Ew a Hordie”
It turned out the shirt I was wearing was my Blizzard T-Shirt with a giant Horde symbol on the front.
We just started talking about the game and how he met his wife.
Every few minutes, she would click her lips, give me the side eye and say “Horde”.
We had a good time chatting, then the the lady behind the counter had my order of Kolaches ready. I bid the couple “Safe Travels” and looked at the wife and said “For the Horde”, as I walked out the door.
Made my morning.
