Leave the 21st century immediately again. Twitter is only good to make up false rumors and to give idiots like KP Dupont a plattform to spread their ********. If you want to follow the more reliable hockey sources during the deadline use this one:

So, I'm not Catholic, but I'd love to give something up for the next 40 days just to see if I could do it. Just not sure what to give up.

It's all about sacrificing something of "luxury"

Here's a starter list - see how far down you can go on the pain scale.

Potato chips
Cola
Fast food
Sweets
Alcohol
Sex
Hockey

Well, the last 2 are definitely out! Because if it doesn't kill me, it'll kill Tony!

I don't really eat potato chips, drink soda or have fast food...I was thinking desserts...but then I have club seats on Friday night. Are cookies a dessert or snack?

If you eat them following a meal in the same place, it's just another dinner course. Right?

For Lent, I've given up responsibility.

Saugus · 02-22-2012, 08:19 AM

It doesn't count if you were never responsible to begin with.

MartyOwns · 02-22-2012, 08:23 AM

Shotgun Blast to the forehead day...that's what Tony calls it.

whatever you do, don't give up cupcakes.

LOL well if I give up "sweets/desserts" that goes in that category doesn't it?

selyar · 02-22-2012, 08:27 AM

then i'll just call them muffins with icing, then they're breakfast

Cowbell232 · 02-22-2012, 08:29 AM

See, Lent isn't about giving things up, it's about renaming them to avoid it!

cj225 · 02-22-2012, 08:31 AM

Okay..no sweets/desserts for the next 40 days. This is going to be tough!

I have a wedding to go to in 30 days, and a few other things...yikes!

Richer's Ghost · 02-22-2012, 08:37 AM

I'm giving up photoshopping

JK, I'm not giving up anything because unlike many I don't use this as the "if I do this, I'm back in the club and all paid up like I never left and have gone to mass all year since last Lent" move.

I wasn't talking to your giving up - just the subject of the day. You're not doing it as observance of Lent anyways, just as a test of personal will. You're just letting yourself down if you cheat

As opposed to letting God down.
