Normally I'd give something up, but I totally forgot.

Not really prepared to give up something like pop.

i'm giving up morals.

I'll be much happy running around the place shagging, spitting, swearing, and killing.

if(getThingFlags(source) & 0x8){
  do her}
elseif(getThingFlags(source) & 0x4){
  do other babe}
else{
  do a dude}

Oh. Cool.

So its not too late to do away with something cool for a long period of time.

Hmm.

Maybe I'll give up apple juice... ... or... something.

I wouldn't call it nonsense. Some people decide to follow things that other people wouldn't. Some do this in a religious context, others do it to set challenges for themselves. Nothing wrong with challenging yourself, is there?

Nothing. I haven't done the whole lent thing since I was 15.

Look up its history. You might learn something.

I think that pretty much applies to this whole thread.

If any use of OLD is justified, it is for 7/8 of these posts/jokes

I am a protestant, so I don't celebrate lent.

My faith holds that I have been fully justified in spirit, so further penance is unnecessary.

In high school, I once tried to give up masturbation for Lent. Stupid idea, I don't think I even kept it for three days, if that.

That's enough to drive any man to abstinence and sobriety.

I completely forgot about the no meat thing today until about ten minutes ago. Messed that one up for breakfast and lunch. I guess I'll just remember it for dinner.

That's completely illogical. Why wouldn't you eat meat today?
