Beer, hockey...

Watching hockey, or playing hockey? I am giving up bubble bath because I absolutely love the stuff. All the lovely bubbly-wubbly-wubbly. Up your nosy, in your tosies. Oh and porn.

Which one of you guys is going to give up Indy?

Porn is to hard to give up.

Watching, but playing is going to lead to drinking which is going to lead to watching. (Which is going to be hell while the Devils are on top)

Give up porn...who are YOU kidding!

First three posts in this thread made me damn happy for the fact I'm not a Christian.

Whoa, who said anything about being Christian? I'm not religious; I just do Lent for funzies. Are the rest of you Christians? Weird-o. I didn't even think about that.

Watching, but playing is going to lead to drinking which is going to lead to watching.

It's vicious cycle, Rocket, give it up.

You mean...go...cold...turkey..?

...No...

Yes. Ellipses, the dots of Satan. They're a drug, Man.

I'm glad I'm Protestant. My branch of Protestant doesn't recognize Lent.

What. You don't like to push yourself because you can? Test your limits? It's what all the cool kids are doing. It's like making yourself to run that extra mile before you hit the showers.

Thanks for the encouragement...OK.

You're welcome! I'm trying to be very positive, as I know how hard hockey can be to give up and--WAITAMINUTE, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT.

Thanks for the encouragement...OK

Look at them, bloody Catholics, filling the bloody world up with bloody people they can't afford to bloody feed.
MRS. BLACKITT:
What are we dear?
MR. BLACKITT:
Protestant, and fiercely proud of it.
MRS. BLACKITT:
Hmm. Well, why do they have so many children?
MR. BLACKITT:
Because... every time they have sexual intercourse, they have to have a baby.
MRS. BLACKITT:
But it's the same with us, Harry.
MR. BLACKITT:
What do you mean?
MRS. BLACKITT:
Well, I mean, we've got two children, and we've had sexual intercourse twice.
MR. BLACKITT:
That's not the point. We could have it any time we wanted.
MRS. BLACKITT:
Really?
MR. BLACKITT:
Oh, yes, and, what's more, because we don't believe in all that Papist claptrap, we can take precautions.
MRS. BLACKITT:
What, you mean... lock the door?
MR. BLACKITT:
No, no. I mean, because we are members of the Protestant Reformed Church, which successfully challenged the autocratic power of the Papacy in the mid-sixteenth century, we can wear little rubber devices to prevent issue.
MRS. BLACKITT:
What d'you mean?
MR. BLACKITT:
I could, if I wanted, have sexual intercourse with you,...
MRS. BLACKITT:
Oh, yes, Harry.
MR. BLACKITT:
...and, by wearing a rubber sheath over my old feller, I could insure... that, when I came off, you would not be impregnated.
MRS. BLACKITT:
Ooh!
MR. BLACKITT:
That's what being a Protestant's all about. That's why it's the church for me. That's why it's the church for anyone who respects the individual and the individual's right to decide for him or herself. When Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in fifteen-seventeen, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing, but four hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear whatever I want on my John Thomas,... [sniff] ...and, Protestantism doesn't stop at the simple condom! Oh, no! I can wear French Ticklers if I want.
MRS. BLACKITT:
You what?
MR. BLACKITT:
French Ticklers. Black Mambos. Crocodile Ribs. Sheaths that are designed not only to protect, but also to enhance the stimulation of sexual congress.
MRS. BLACKITT:
Have you got one?
MR. BLACKITT:
Have I got one? Uh, well, no, but I can go down the road any time I want and walk into Harry's and hold my head up high and say in a loud, steady voice, 'Harry, I want you to sell me a condom. In fact, today, I think I'll have a French Tickler, for I am a Protestant.'
MRS. BLACKITT:
Well, why don't you?
MR. BLACKITT:
But they-- Well, they cannot, 'cause their church never made the great leap out of the Middle Ages and the domination of alien episcopal supremacy.

So I was just given Devil tickets...is attending a game the same as watching?

Yeah, so I'm out. I accidentally opened a porn folder and I didn't get out in time. To be fair though, once you get caught in a porn loop you can be there for days.

I'm quitting on KOTCS for a while, but not for lent. I need some time off to get a fresh perspective after all my conflicted feelings. So far, researching some of it's inspirations, and how and why some parts were done has given me some a new appreciation of it. You know, solving that whole "forest for the trees" thing.

Beer & porn? Marriage has been all the lent I need for that, thank you.
If anything, I'd like to dust off my old bad habits for a 40 day run of mayhem.

A friend of mine in high school gave up malt balls for Lent, by the end he ate an entire box of them for lunch.
Personally it's not my thing but :hat: to those who do.

Two and a half weeks, and all I saw was Marty's Post Game interview. I think St Paddy's is going to be the day, If I get the usual dispensation to eat corned beef...the parties and parades happen on assorted dates to avoid conflict, maybe I can get a pass for Marty's big day. If not, 20 out of 40 days is respectable. It seems like I'm being tempted though, hmmm. Coincidence?

Are any of you old enough to chalenge yourself?

Denying those creature comforts for your own edification?

Can you see the benefit?

What will you give up for Lent?

If not for Lent, what can you give up to steel your will?

Can you?

Will you?

How?

Why?

For how long can you stand strong?

Be strong, you must. The power of the dark side, a great temptation it is.
