                People who follow the rules to the letter are frauds, since it is ridiculously unpractical.

                    Giving up the usual, ice cream (which is less of a sacrifice this year as opposed to previous Lents).

                    Also giving up days in which I have fewer than one cocktail.

                                        I'm giving up my beloved Canadian Club whiskey...

                                        ...and replacing it with Lord Calvert!

                                        All of the money I save will go into the Rice Bowl for the poor, and I figured I couldn't go wrong picking a Lent whiskey with "Lord" in it.

                                        Also, JJ, I wish to take issue with the fact that nobody here is a true or devout Catholic. Just speaking for myself, I make it to Mass three Sundays out of four, keep the Holy Days of Obligation, volunteer as a lay minister of the sacraments, fill in at the organ, and spend six months at Mount Angel Abbey discerning a vocation to religious life. My faith is a huge part of my life, and even though I lust after other men, I think God made me this way and appreciates the effort that I put out to make Him a part of my life.
