seabird78Me - Pushes shopping cart o' bags toward the corral, so I can park it and haul my loot the rest of the way home on my arms. I am wearing my new light blue "I Heart Colt" t-shirt, the one where the heart symbol is replaced with a Star of David).
An elderly African American K-Mart employee, who walks past me as he's returning some carts to the store, greets me and reads the words on my chest aloud.
K-Mart Man: I heart Colt. So you're a fan of Indianapolis?
Me: Oh, no, it's not football. Colt is the name of a professional wrestler. Colt Cabana.
K-Mart Man: Really? Is he with WWE or TNA?
Me: (Impressed that he's even aware of TNA) He's an independent wrestler, actually. But he was with WWE for a short time.
K-Mart Man: An independent wrestler. Huh. Well you know they've got that women's wrestling coming up in October.
Me: (widens eyes, wondering if he's referring to what I think he's referring to). Yeah, I know!
K-Mart Man: (points towards Harlem Avenue) It's right over here, at the Berwyn Eagles Club!
Me (grins widely, impressed that he knows about Shimmer despite being neither a smart mark or a creeper) Yeah, it's a great show! (Waves goodbye and moves along,, feeling happy that there are fellow wrestling fans out there who are just normal people and not basement dwelling board trolls or cheesecake wielding pervs).
And scene.
I have another wrestling-related story that I might post tonight, which has to do with a small adventure I had while in New York last weekend. Stay tuned.
