"The first time I butted heads with Gan was on October 12, 1981, the second Monday of the month, at Tiger Gymnasium. The game between Shui Zhong Team and Tiger Team was later called the Columbus Day Miracle. Fuck the miracle, Shui Zhong was already strong back then. I was in ninth grade, and a lot of my friends were at Fremont. I started trash-talking Ah Gan right from the first half, because he was beating my friend Herbert so bad his own mom wouldn't recognize him. By the second half, he must have gotten sick of it because he came over to the sidelines and asked me my name. I told him, and he said 'hi' back, 'Fuck you, Gary!' Of course, I didn't let up, I stood up and kept at it, and he fucking slammed Herbert again—sorry, Herbert—then he ran over to the sidelines and told me, 'This is my fucking welcome gift to you, we're not done yet!' I still remember that line to this day, and that's when it started, biu, biu, biu~"
