last week, i had free passes to see the advanced screening of crocodile hunter: collision course. advanced screenings usually involve some sort of melee with decorations and prize giveaways and whatnot. this screening was sponsered by the local country radio station, one of the local newspapers, and the vancouver aquarium. there was a guy wearing a beluga whale mascot outfit giving everyone high fives on the way into the theater. i was feeling merry (which is unusual), so i put my hand up for a high five. but he completely, as they would say on the streets, dissed me. stupid whale, i didn't want a high five anyway. i figured he just didn't see me because it's hard to see out of those tiny holes.

anyways, so we take our seats and they start with the prizes and giveaways. the free passes have a number on the top corner, so they were calling out numbers. the first few prizes were discovery channel tshirts i think. i even said, "i don't think i'm gonna win" and put my pass away because i already won a contest earlier in the week. the grand prize was 2 free passes to the vancouver aquarium, and what do you know, they call out my number. now i am so fucking win. i get up and walk to the front of the theater and give the lady who called out the number my pass to verify. she points me to the whale and says he has the prize. the guy in the whale costume walks over and he's holding the prize package out with both hands/fins. i take it from him and walk away. when i get back to my seat, my friend says "you know, after you grabbed the prize, the whale put his hand out to shake your hand, but you just walked away."

haha stupid whale. that's what you get for not giving me a high five. sweet sweet inadvertent revenge.
