Lent.

[Mixability]

Who's giving up something for Lent?

I really don't want this thread turning into a religion war or an argument about why do we give up something for 40 days.

I'm just curious about what everyone's giving up.


My sacrifice: Alcohol. :depressed

[Peter]

Alcohol here too.

[Jekka]

I'm giving up organized religion for Lent.

[pache100]

I'm a Southern Baptist, back when I used to practice. We don't do Lent. We've already given up everything worhwhile (rock music, dancing, alcohol, movies, etc.). That's why I don't practice any more.

If I was gonna give up anything, though, it would NOT be coffee or chocolate.

[BIG DADDY JOSH]

eating after 6pm

[ObiwanGinobili]

Don't do Lent.

[Mixability]

Don't do Lent.

was that an answer or suggestion?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I haven't done "lent" for years, but when I did, I'd always give up Cokes....I used to go through about 3-4 Cokes a day.

Now I don't even drink cokes often....so I'd have nothing to give up.

[CharlieMac]

When I was catholic I would always give up Coke or Pepsi. Which didn't really matter to me because then I would just go heavy on teh Bill Miller's tea for 40 days.

I gave up Dr. Pepper one time ... and switched to Diet Coke. I couldn't stand Dr. Pepper (too sweet) after that and have never really picked it back up.

Diet Dr. Pepper = :tu :tu, though. :drunk :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

Tony Reali is Catholic, who knew?

[Mixability]

I'll be getting blown much more regularly until Easter.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I'm giving up burros and burritos

[ShoogarBear]

I'm giving up sex with Jessica Alba.

The worst part is the bitch keeps calling even though she knows better . . .

[Faccia di Angelo]

When I used to be Catholic I never really gave up anything either. But good for you if you're trying to give up alcohol.

[pache100]

IDiet Dr. Pepper = :tu :tu, though. :drunk :lol

http://i2.tinypic.com/oud4yv.gif

I did that, too. I can't even drink regular soda now. It tastes thick and syrupy to me, not refreshing at all. Diet soda tastes thin and refreshing, especially on a hot day or when I'm really thirsty.

[2Blonde]

I usually give up chocolate, which totally sucks because my birthday falls during Lent so I never get to have chocolate cake. I eat carrot cake instead. So far I'm going with chocolate but I may change it. I'll decide later today.

[tlongII]

Don't tell User ... but I gave up sex. :fro


Fortunately Bill Clinton says that blowjobs do not constitute sexual relations.

[CavsSuperFan]

I hear that there are a lot of practicing Catholics on the Lakers and that they have given up making the playoffs.... :smokin

[Duff McCartney]

You should go with cheesecake this year for your birthday.

[Old School Chic]

Don't believe in lent

Why don't you give it away instead than giving up? Charity is a good thing. :lol

[Old School Chic]

Speaking of lent... My friend wants to go eat cactus :wow

She said It's good. I told her I will stick to the fish and fries

[ObiwanGinobili]

I for one am enjoying the great deal I got on boneless flank last week at HEB. :smokin Hoping to see some more markdowns in the weeks to come....

On monday we went to this little mexican restaurant called Teresitas close to were I work. They had some real good mexican food. Well, there was a sign that said lent food on Friday. We usually head out to Barnacle Bills on friday for their fish sandwich and fries. Well, since my friend was craving lent food we decided to go back to the little mexican restaurant today so she can have nopalitos (cactus)... At first I thought I was going to see something nasty on her plate, but that stuff was good. :spin
I used to believe in lent back in the days but since my parents became Jehova's witness 20 years ago I don't pay much attention to that stuff anymore.

So are you a Jehovs'a witness?

Nope.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Did anyone see the Colbert Report on Ash Wednesday? He had the ashes on his forehead and told his TV audience that if they didn't make it to an Ash Service that they should rub their foreheads against the TV screen. "Don't worry, it'll count. They deputized me." :lol

I'm trying to give up cursing for Lent. It's been hard going and I've already broken it once or twice, but that represents a vast improvement. I've cussed twice in three days, versus my average of probably about 20-30 times a day.

One time I got so mad that I got woke up I told them "Look guys I'd love to chat right now, but I just woke up after two straight hours of sex so I'm going to have to say bye"

Something like that.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Well, then you need to tell me how to get put on the local Hottie Visitation List.

I can just picture that. "Why yes, I would love to talk to you about Jesus' message. In fact, why don't we go into the bedroom, that's where I keep my Bible. Don't mind all the candles. The socket I plug the lamp into burned out so I've had use these for light. The Barry White music? Oh well, that just always help me get in touch with my spiritual side..."

Amateurs. It doesn't work without the Barry White playing in the background.

[Mixability]

Just the kind of behavior I've encountered. My parents house has pictures of the Virgin Mary, Jesus, etc on the front door. They even have a "No Thanks, We're Catholic" sticker on the front door. Does that stop them? Nope. :pctoss

I've actually had to tell them to leave the property one time for my parents(they're much more patient than me). I told them, can't you READ the sign!??! They said, "Yes, but we'd like to offer you an option". I replied, "I'd like to offer you an option too, leave or have the cops called on you." They left, I wish they hadn't. That would've been funny! :lol

[Mixability]

I told my Dad next time, spray them with the hose. :lol
