Post by: clintclintdeuce on February 18, 2010, 03:19:38 AM
For us Christians out there, its typical to give something up for the Lenten Season... What did you give up this time around?


Ill be without red meat for 40 days and will be fasting one day a week..... ohhh Im going to miss those succulent prime ribs and genoa salamis.

There is no 'trying', either do or don't. Good luck. :)

I have decided to give up having expectations of others. How's that for deep?

That is something I never thought of or even contemplated.

I agree Jack, but I have been down this path before with very limited success. This time I am serious.

Now on a completely different matter, just read this story on the Beeb about Malaysian women getting caned for having extra marital sex which I guess is a bit harsh but something that at least can be argued about.

Apparently there is another one in jail awaiting caning for drinking...beer...Now there is where I think it becomes quite a tad too much

I am giving up caning Malaysian women who have had a bit on the side.

I may ask for the three strikes limit to see me through.

I gave up giving up for Lent.

Went out to a concert last night got drunk, ended up smoking and then had a kebab on the way home.

My wife it seems has given up sex.
