The Ironic CatholicAsh Wednesday is only a week away--so forget giving up chocolate, sugar, and caffeine. Get your "rightly ordered loves" on and choose one of these for your six week fast
- All apps (includes that cool confession app. Buck up and use the parish flyer, wimps)
- Wii. Or Glee. Or any one syllable word ending in "eeeeee".
- Depraved indifference
- Thiamin
- Using wheels (cars, bikes, buses, office chairs, pizza cutters)
- Wearing colors
- Brushing your hair (hint: may want to shave it off first)
- Rosary beads (say the rosary with your fingers)
- Hand lotion (if you have seriously dry skin, use Vaseline petroleum jelly...it works)
- Being "cool" (aka hawt, awesome, epic, groovy, neat, a first class panderer to the latest cultural craze, getting your Lenten observance ideas from a Catholic humor blog....)
Clearly I could never give up #10.

Nice, Matt...
I hate to actually ask this, since jokes become seriously unfunny when you explain them, but I'm totally missing it: why thiamin?
It's just vitamin B I think. So giving up a vitamin for Lent. LOL, I like that one.
Well, yeah, but it's the only one you'd actually die from if you did it. That's why I'm confused. Is it just supposed to be a random-off-the-wall-I-couldn't-think-of-anything-for-number-four suggestion?
It's just a joke.... "wearing colors" might not even be possible(even for religious). So take it with a grain of salt... or vitamin B. :)
Oh, dear. And this is why I never would consider going into comedy. :)
Clearly.
Just saw your picture in the upper right - no comment on the 70's motion picture "star" you look like. Bow chicka bow wow
Hmmm… lemme see hear:
1. Apps – don’t use any. I’m a dinosaur…phones are for making calls as A.G. Bell intended.
2. Wii & Glee. I don’t Wii (I do wee, but I can’t give that up, sorry). Glee – well I’m rarely full of glee – full of other things, yes.
3. Depraved indifference. My indifference is decidedly praved, thank you very much!
4. Thiamin. Huh? If it’s not aspirin, I don’t take it and even then…sparsely.
5. Using wheels. No – I’m too old to walk 30+ miles to work. Wheels are ‘in’.
6. Wearing colors. Where’s my Nehru jacket when I need it?
7. Brushing hair. No prob – mine’s so sparse a rake will do.
8. Finger rosary – do it often when da beads are AWOL
9. Hand lotion…is for wimps. Rub a little dirt on ‘em!
10. Being ‘cool’. I’ve been cold frequently but never accused of being ‘cool’ (I wonder why?).
ROFL, enjoyed that one GOR
