Title: Fat Tues/Lent
Post by: Kat Kid on February 24, 2009, 03:14:21 PM
I'm an honorary Catholic and as such am participating in the festivities this year.  Drinking TONS of Mt. Dew today and ordering up an obscene amount of Chipotle tonight.  Tomorrow?

NO POP FOR 40 DAYS!  (FISHSTIX AND BEER ON FRIDAYS!)

I'm an actual Catholic and will also be participating.  I will also be ordering an obscene amount of Chipotle tonight.  No fast food for 40 days  :'(

Though in about 15 days I'll be able to convince my wife the Chipotle doesn't really count as fast food  :thumbsup:

Good luck KK...I've tried the no pop thing...I've never made it.

started the no pop trick 2 years ago kids, 2 F'N years I've been pop free.  it's a great money saver too.

my usual lent friday food is- 
lunch:  wendy's fish sandwich
dinner:  sushi or mccormick & schmicks

I'm with ya on the pop dudes.  I've been phasing it out over the past week (thanks to some heart palpitations) and I had some today and it was  :yuck:

40 days no pop... but I don't think I can go so far as to give up Chipotle.  Maybe I'll give up the tortilla, though.

Also non-hairy pukes. My cat has made a lot more mess over time than my dogs.

Luckily for me, I take no part in religious activity and can sit back and watch people suffer through Lent while continuing to gorge myself on w/e. So there's that.
Good luck to everyone on staying off the soda,chipotle (why in god's name would you do that to yourself?), or whatever.  :hope:

No way, when cats piss on the carpet, floor, walls, it is WAY harder to get the smell out compared to a dog (WAY as in 10000000000000000000000000000000 times)

I have more experience trying to remove pet smells than any human would ever want FWIW

I am giving up pop again BTW, 3rd straight year

end of summer, early fall I always start to drink it again, just can't seem to give it up

I'm guessing Catholic pedophile priests gather together at this time of year and laugh that they can get their sheep...err, congregation, to give things up as if it has some sort of impact on anything.

I love lent.  lines are shorter when i go get lunch.

duh.

There is some solidarity in the effort that is attractive to many.  For some, it seems to be a chance each year to lose some weight, and use God as an excuse.

It is supposed to be a sacrifice that should remind you each day to think about God and what God has done for you......but for many catholics, lent, like church itself is just a big &@#%ing networking opportunity.

If it weren't for Muslims, they'd be shooting catholics, IMO.

Taco Bell always seems to be easier to get in and out during this time of the year.  Gives me more time to have conversations with Brent Price.   :love:

Taco Tico tried to get me to order their new Lenten Combo last night.  (Never mind it wasn't even Lent yet.)  Battered Fish tacos and shrimp quesadillas.  Like I would ever, under any circumstances, order shrimp-anything from a freaking Taco Tico.

Bueno's ground beef basically has zero flavor.  Haven't Mayo in years, (none in Wichita) and Bell is like McDonalds.  (not bad, but not great either)  I prefer Taco Pronto, (it's like Mexican Crack) but I didn't feel like driving way out of my way.

Taco Via is the best, followed by Taco John's.  Taco Tico is decent.  I wish we had more of those taco bell wannabe places around here. 

Wahoo's Fish Taco will no doubt see a spike in business.  Besides it's only on Friday d00ds.

Taco Pronto in Wichita is the top of my list.  There smothered sanchos are insane.  And they use that little pellet ice with the syrup really cranked up on their soda.  For me its Pronto before all others.

I drink scotch and water, but I guess I just don't like the taste of bourbon that much.
