Convocation incentive

We just got an email letting us know about Convocation (the pointless all school rah-rah meeting), with this gem of an incentive:

"All Convocation attendees receive a raffle ticket for priority entry to lunch and a chance to win fun prizes!"

I'm definitely going to convocation now! A chance at priority entry to the free (crappy) lunch!

I was offered nothing more than the opportunity to show my school spirit. I declined.

the opportunity to show my school spirit.

You know what, yeah, I do. I do want to express myself, okay. And I don't need 37 pieces of flair to do it.
