For the Catholics among us, tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. Though I'm not Catholic I started observing Lent last year; nothing motivates one to keep a promise better than the threat of eternal damnation. I won't get the mark on my forehead, that would be inappropriate, but I will deny myself an indulgence as a sign of solidarity with my Catholic peeps. This year I'll be giving up the last shred of belief I ever had in religion. And Doritos. I just hope I can make it all 40 days; I'd hate to reach the pearly gates only to see Jesus munching on a grab bag saying, you didn't think I'd overlook this, did you?

Being the repressed Catholic that I am (I do claim rights to the one and only Jesus-mobile) I have to correct you, heathen. I don't know where you got the idea that Jesus has time to wait for YOU at the Pearly Gates when we all know it's St. Peter at the Pearly Gates....
Good luck on your goals, sounds like you already reached one of them...
I stand corrected, St. Pete it is. But I assume I'm gonna have to appeal the initial decision to Petey's manager; one way or another, Jesus and I will conversate on it: So Jesus, you expect me to believe that you could eat just one?
that's some funny shit going into Lent and all that. Big D, you mean to tell me that you actually have/had religion to abstain from?
