3. Try it again. You might need to go for 180 days, though. |

19. Hell, I can do 180 days in my sleep. |
|
Actually, I couldn't. I once tried to give up the Lounge voluntarily under no religious obligations and it lasted less than a month.

5. Yeah, I think I'll also try to start going to church for lent. |
|
I live a 40 minute walk from the parish and its been so much of a hassle that I only went once. Sunday morning is no time for a walk across the city.

6. Hey, the traffic would be light! |

Not sucking too much car exhaust on your walk.

11. JVS doesn't go to church?!! |
|
Wow. I'm feelin' some cognitive dissonance. I need to sit down. :crazy:
I think you should do some penance during Lent. Maybe read some Schleiermacher.
Have a good Lent! See you after Easter! :hi:

I don't know. I think that time might be better spent in meditative slumber.

7. I was going to say it's not Lent yet, but where you are, it probably is... |
|
I can't remember the last time I gave something up for Lent. Probably about 30 years ago when I was still a practicing Catholic! :rofl:

14. I've often said that's what Reformed Protestants should do. |
|
In this, as in so many things, no one listens.

17. Because that's not in keeping with the true spirit of Lent |

18. If you complete the implied word with the root "lent", you get "lenticular". |
|
Definitions of lenticular on the Web:
biconvex: convex on both sides; shaped like a lentil wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
Obviously, you need only give up lentils for lent.
