What'd You Do Last Night? Was It As Sweet As Swimming With Sharks?

(MyFoxBoston.com) — A Quincy man took a dangerous dive at the New England Aquarium, and it landed him in handcuffs. Stephen Pellegrine, 51, was arrested after allegedly jumping into the giant ocean tank early Thursday night. Aquarium staff say he appeared to be intoxicated, and snuck in without paying for a ticket. Then, he scaled a waist-high wall, and jumped into the tank.  He jumped into the fish tank, which is 27 feet deep,” said Erica Brody, an Assistant District Attorney in Suffolk County. “There are sharks in there.” Pellegrine has been charged with trespassing and disturbing the peace. He was ordered held on $500 bail.

Hey before you call Stephen Pellegrine an idiot, what’d you do last night? You head down to Landsdowne Pub or Boylston or Clerys like you do every Friday night? You probably drank the same drinks you always do, went home with the same girl, ordered a pizza from the same place. What I’m saying is your life is boring, so is mine. You and I are in ruts. You know who isn’t? Stephen. That dude lives life to the max. He chases adrenaline, chases the feeling of being alive. A crazy night for him isn’t “OK, let’s do one more Patron shot” it’s “Move out of the way, sharks…. CAAAANOONNNNNNNBALLLLLLLLL!!!!” That a voracious hunger for life that we should all strive to obtain.

Update: A stoolie was there and saw him doing the goddamn backstroke around the tank. What a move. Hope he was squirting water out of his mouth too.
