I'm giving up reading Slanter's posts.

I was going to anyway, but this is an admittedly helpful coincidence.

I'm giving up drinking for Lent. Luckily I was able to go to the Flames game tonight and therefore had a ton of Heroin Beer before I gave it all up.

I'm going to give up fast food. Although... fresh fast food might be ok. Like Subway or Pita Pit.

Good call. You've inspired me to do the same.

Just so this doesn't turn into a completely religious bashing thread, I used to give up stuff like junk food when I was young. I think I gave up TV one year I was felling particularly devout.

Giving up stuff isn't a bad thing even if you aren't religious. It's good for character too. And helps make you stronger. And of course it isn't all just related to Christianity, it's a common theme in many philosophies from Buddhism to Fight Clubism...

Maybe I will give up something this year.

I smell a bet coming up. Are you male? If you're male and not particularly devout I doubt you can do it...

I think I will join you in that. I'm not religious, but it just seems like I could do with a break. Perhaps I'll come back after Easter.

Bye all.
