Forty Days, Wicked Ways

There's an episode of "The Vicar of Dibley" where everyone on the parish council gave up something for Lent and they had to put money in the Lent box every time they broke their promise. Owen gave up swearing and Dawn gave up chocolate. If you haven't seen or heard of Dawn French or The Vicar of Dibley, you need to rent the DVDs or tune into PBS when they show the British comedies.

I think it would be fun to start something like that with my group of friends. My friend Kelly loves chocolate and I'd love to torment her by eating a whole tin of Godivas right in front of her. Hey, it's my duty as a non-practicing Catholic to act as the demon with the tempting and the goading. What good is participating in the Lent if you're not going to be tested by someone evil? To be fair, I'd let people decide what I should give up for Lent and let them torment me as well. I think I'd do pretty well if no one suggests that I give up watching porn. ::hoping that no one suggests that I give up watching porn::
