OT: Giving Up MGoBlog For Lent
February 12th, 2013 at 6:39 PM ^
in all honesty the first handy hurt like hell, so you may have lucked out.
Sorry if that's too much info, but if any ladies are reading this the goal is not to give out indian burns.

Wow, that's serious commitment. Very impressed, no sarcasm at all.

Well just head over to ESPN, 90% of the stuff they post about Michigan comes from here anyway and what doesn't come frome this site will eventually end up as a link here anyway.

Chocolate for me. Good thing I don't have a valentine and have to worry about Valentine's Day chocolate the next day.

lik dis if u cri evrytiem :'(
February 12th, 2013 at 6:29 PM ^
...you should have given up having a "significant other" for lent and you could still have chocolate.
February 12th, 2013 at 6:23 PM ^
I will give up MGoBlog for Lent for the 2nd year in a row. You do know that we get Sundays off on our Lenten sacrifices, right? You can pop in on Sundays...
February 12th, 2013 at 6:26 PM ^
That's cheating.

I love catholicism so much that I am giving that up for Lent - Stephen Colbert

I'm giving up all cooked food. (40 days of raw fruits & vegtables) It will be a challenge but I hope to lose a few pounds during lent. I'll have to avoid going to the local fish fry with my family if I hope to succeed.
February 13th, 2013 at 8:38 AM ^
Get ready to shit....a lot.
February 12th, 2013 at 6:49 PM ^
I can't go one day without visiting the site 30 times minimum. Don't know how you do it.
February 12th, 2013 at 6:50 PM ^
I'm giving up religion for Lent.
February 12th, 2013 at 6:51 PM ^
I didn't know Lord Voldemort aka Harry Potter Satan was Catholic! Also congrats on the kid (insert joke about Catholics and birth control).

Lent isn't even completely religious anymore. I know plenty of people who give up things for lent as a popular society thing - these are non-Catholic, borderline cristian people.
I ate a doughnut by another name today and it was delicious, and I've only been in Catholic churches for weddings and funerals. Is that a problem?

I have a friend who also has three girls and he's still looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, they're going for four so he still has a chance. As for Lent, nice job really sacrificing something important to you. Remember, Lent has two parts, one is the sacrifice, the other is filling that same time with something else. Hopefully you find something that satisfies your soul to fill the moments, maybe hours, you'll now have free. Stay strong brother!

he will be well cared for by 3 big sisters. make sure you take him to hockey/wrestling/football practice and don't let the girls dress him up in fu-fu stuff, could confuse him later on in life.
only 2 of ours are girls, the other 5 are sons. can always hope for another daugther though.

The meaning of your user name becomes apparent.
February 12th, 2013 at 9:08 PM ^
and i'm rather fond of bowhunting. either way works.
February 12th, 2013 at 11:51 PM ^
Psalms, or Kahlil Gibran? Or both?
February 13th, 2013 at 11:00 AM ^
don't know who k. gibran is. can he play basketball? we seem to need a bit of help these days...

My wife and kids are Catholic and the 3 of them give up chocolate for Lent each year. Yes, in recognition of Jesus' 40 day fast in the desert....they give up dessert. I am always filled with ahh and wonder at their grave sacrfice while we sit munching paczkis.
I tell my kids that since i Lent the church my time and money on holidays and the occasional Sunday that I like to collect Interest this time of year. I do so by spending more time and effort on the things i enjoy. Jesus approves.

Mgoblog is not an addiction but a way of life.
February 12th, 2013 at 9:03 PM ^
I agree. the premise that mgoblog is an indulgence or frivolous vice that should be given up is flawed. would you give up excercise for Lent? maybe you should just give up reading.

i'm so old i used to play hoops with him in the off-season at michigan. whatever did happen to him? he was mr. basketball and supposed to be the greatest.

According to established Church dogma, Sundays during Lent do not count towards your sacrifice, as Sundays are mini-Easters. Just FYI.

You know, Valdemort, dressing them in pink and purple is entirely on you. There's no XX chromosomal influence on color choice. Pure environment.
My 4 and 7 yr old XX chromosomers would much rather wear Maize and Blue than pink or purple!

God's blessings to you and your family. Wonderful that you and your wife take so seriously your faith, Lent, and the example you set for your children.

Have a blessed lent, bro.
I can never think of good things to give up. :(
Then I hear what other people are giving up and I'm like, "Oh, that's a good idea... why didn't I think of that??" But then I don't wanna give that thing up because it feels disingenuous because I'm copying someone else's Lent idea.....
I just fail at Christianity sometimes.
