I'm to attempt removing curse words from my vocabulary.

I just realized it was Ash Wednesday yesterday. What do you give up for lent?
- Thread starter Mr. Potter
- Start date
Starting Sunday afternoon, I'm going to stop watching the Olympics.
How about “rowing the boat”?Gopher Men's Hockey?Oh it's supposed to be a sacrifice. Nevermind!
Seriously, thought about swear words as well, but didn't even make it a f-in hour. Trying to come up with something realistic.
I'm not practicing, but if I were, would giving up on Tottenham be acceptable?
Done! Lent ends before the "Spring game" so there's that.How about “rowing the boat”?
Some Dipshit infected Mr. Potters post with Ransome ware. Don't open it. But Shalom anyway.
I’m giving up alcohol (St. Patrick’s celebration excepted) and snacks.

Amen, Brother Rude! Especially this season.
Religion in general.
I'm really starting to like the spirituality the Native Americans have. The Diné (Navajo) nation is very interesting.
Penn State Men's Basketball.
Last Sunday the Gambits gave up their fake Christmas tree per Gambit tree Rule 4.3, subsection B, line.27. "A Christmas tree must always come down before Lent". And so it did....barely.
Now on to the next Gambit tradition.....Pysanky.
The Gambits have been decorating Easter eggs in the old Slavic way for over 50 years.
Using a stylus called a kiska to apply melted beeswax, we meticulously draw symbols on raw, white chicken eggs, which are then dipped in increasingly darker dyes. The beeswax protects the artwork of the lighter dyes and you get this...

Speaking of that, I misread Potter’s title at first as mentioning “Irish Wednesday” and I briefly envisioned a lent-like run-up to St. Patty’s Day.
Were that a thing, I’d think it would be about giving up teetotaling. Gotta build up a tolerance before the big day.
