(1) The "get out of jail free card" is not universal, it depends on if your local bishop grants a dispensation: http://www.beliefnet.com/story/14/story_1468_1.html
(2) Even if you get a dispensation, it's still part of Lent, I assume.
(3) Uh... do you mean beef?

Hey, we're the only group you can still publicly defame and not have the ACLU all up your butt. In a way, it's refreshing, even if I am the target.

Anyway, the dog had an LSU sweater on, so he's probably a bible-thumper as well. So is there any objection from animal rights people to using animals in a parade? I kinda feel bad for that dog, all kidding aside.

The ACLU protects your right to defame anyone at all.

And I am a recovering cathaholic.

And Irish by heritage. On my mom's side.

Kraut on Dad's.

Interesting. I'm a practising Catholic ('cause I never get very good at it). My Mom is German extraction and my Dad is Irish.
