There are a few people that I want to badmouth if the mods aren't around. (j/k)  Is there e-milk? :p

Turi, Everyone giving up the BB for six weeks. Wouldn't that be the ultimate joke to play on Geoff and SC???  I can't imagine NO ONE posting. Actually, that'd be a true sacrifice for everyone here wouldn't it?  TIS

I haven't really decided what to give up for Lent this year...but I'll tell you what I'm not giving up - watching Seinfeld. Wow Goombah, I don't think I could do that. Also, you're short-changing yourself...it's on four times per night - 6 & 6:30 on TBS, 7 & 11 on WJW-8.

Dear Heathens, Non-Believers, Fallen-away Catholics, etc. , To expand on Don Cardis answer.....on Ash Wednesday; the receiving of ashes is an outward sign that you recognize yourself as a sinner and you have vowed to repent and turn away from sin. The abstinence from meat on Ash Wednesday, Fridays (not Holy Days) is to remind us of this pledge. Meat is symbolic of a pleasure or luxury (not really true today since fish is OK, but a good filet of red snapper costs more than a hot dog.) The practice of "giving up" something is suppose to further our commitment to repentance. What is NOT suppose to happen is abstaining from chocolate and then after Lent gorging yourself and returning to the same chocolate habit. Instead, examine your conscience for something you've been doing that is morally or socially unacceptable; like calling people names, cursing, drinking to excess (Turi excluded). Make it something that you would like to change beyond Lent. Then stick to the commitment, reminding yourself on Friday when abstaining from meat (or something else appropriate)that you are repenting. That's from a practicing Catholic. My prayers are with you. 
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, whoever humbles himself will be exalted - Matthew 23:12

I love how self-proclaimed "Catholics" call themselves Catholic when they neither know anything nor do anything whatsoever to do with the Catholic religion! :rolleyes:
Shit, many aren't even Christian apparently!
It's all just about labels, I supposed. But c'mon, people gotta stop labeling themselves as something they're not! :p Yeah I know what you mean and I dont blame you, though I am guilty of the crime. I only say that I am "(supposedly) Catholic" because my parents were, and many years of my young life were spent forced into studying it. I was just saying that I am supposed to know all this, because of my Catholic background.
