In 1995, Bigtime9, taking time out from working part time at Lenny Ellerbe's Fish and chips in L.A. was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from The Eastern Los Angeles School For Nitwits. On a hike through the bush he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.
The elephant seemed distressed, so Bigtime approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Bigtime worked the wood out with his trusty swiss army knife, a holdover from his days as Floyd Mayweather Jr's Boy Scout leader, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the "BTnine", and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Bigtime stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.
Bigtime never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Eleven years later, yesterday to be exact (a sad, sad, day), Bigtime took a break from washing Mister Ellerbee's jock to go for a walk the Chicago Zoo with his teen-aged son (test tube kid known as Pretty Boy BT9 b.k.a. Leonard). As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Bigtime and Leonard were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Bigtime, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1995, Bigtime couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant.
Bigtime summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.
The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Bigtime's legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.
Probably wasn't the same elephant.
