It was ten years ago today, when they both met at that sporting event in Indonesia. They were watching Kobe Bryant playing baseball. His team was losing because he attended the wrong sporting event - he had accidentally attended the baseball tournament instead of the basketball tournament. 

Huge Hamptons suddenly rolled onto the court like a moist snake and ripped the ball off one of the players. He hit a home run and suddenly Big Larne the tiger fell in love with him because of his feisty fiery eyes...

She had patchy fake tan and she wore a pink ballgown to the formal.  It was a big bouncy dress, like a drag queen’s, like a tu-tu, with lots of curly rolls.  It’s halfway up her legs now because she’s grown, and it’s dirty.  She was 5 feet 7 10 years ago, and she’s 7 feet 9 now...
