This is my last little joy before I go for six weeks. Please, give me lots... and lots... of joy. :P

Edit: Because I am temporally challenged.

1. Nooooooooooooo
You're supposed to do something like give up wearing clothes for Lent.
Right?

4. But lima beans are healthy!
But spending hours on end in front of a computer is not.

11. But your posts bring joy and pleasure to others
Why must your fans suffer just so you can get to heaven? You're being awfully selfish.

5. While to go before daylight saving time starts...
either you mean "6pm MST" or the title's a giveaway that you aren't really going to do it :D

12. You should still be able to participate in GD flame wars
remember, you're supposed to give up something pleasurable for Lent.

14. I never post in GD, though.
I've sort of come to terms with the fact that people suck and aren't worth those precious minutes of my life.

This won't be as hard as the time I gave up a particular sexual practice for lent. :P

20. LOL sure...
but I'm aiming for transcendence through deprivation here. It's much better than self-flagellation. :P
