As an Atheist, I just LOVE Lent!!

[Tyler Durden]

Starts off with donuts of a sort, followed by 6 weeks of Fish and Chips/VFW Fish Dinner Specials!!!

YUM!

[meegbear]

1. Every year I give up Lent for Lent

[Tyler Durden]

2. More chocolate, booze, steaks, and good pastry for ME!!!

Need to enjoy in moderation, though. Getting on in years.

Burp.

7. VFW in Durand does Friday Fish.

They buy FRESH whitefish and use a batter recipe that a Korea War Vet cooked up about 30 years ago, and cole slaw from SCRATCH. They fall down on the fries though: frozen shoestrings but hey, nobody's perfect.

YUM.

9. Yeah, what you guys do to fish is a SIN!!

POACHED???? What are you guys...COMMIES or somethin'?

Oh well. At least you aren't Minnesota Lutherans:



Lutefisk: (from the Norweigian) "dried fish soaked in liquid Plutonium."

8. I am giving up donuts and fish and chips for Lent.

Sorry, Arthur Treacher.

[Tyler Durden]

10. I don't eat them the rest of the year!

If I indulged my urges, I would LIVE at the local home made donut shop, with breaks to the local diner famous for fish and chips.

AND I would weigh much more than I do: 5'8" ectomorphs should not weigh close to 200 pounds.

[kwassa]

11. well, I never eat them, which is why I like giving them up.

Pain-free Lent.

[baldguy]

12. Thet're called fasnachts.

[AllegroRondo]

15. I love the church fish frys

the local Catholic church has a darn good fish fry every Friday, open to everyone. AND they server beer! they really know how to party!

19. THEY get hooked on that wine

they get hooked on that wine for communion. just joshing !
lent is easy compared to my youth. my parents made the choice of things to give up.one was to not use my bicycle for my paper route. DAD wanted me to know how it was to be to poor to own one.(even though I bought mine from tips and paper route money)
to this day I hate fish!

17. Watch your insulin and cholesterol levels

I'm not supposed to have those things anyway so I don't feel the burn as much...or it's twice as bad...depends on my mood.

18. My devout grandmother used to give up the National Enquirer for Lent.

Let me tell you, that was quite a sacrifice :P

[Ellen Forradalom]

20. Oh gosh, that's right, it's Lent.

I think I'll order the grilled salmon this Friday.
