Reminds me of a conversation that I had with a Roman Catholic co-worker many years ago:
HE: I am giving up chewing gum and flying kites for Lent.
ME: I don't think that I have ever seen you chew gum.
HE: I don't fly kites either.
This non-liturgical Christian has a problem with the whole idea of Lent anyway. The whole concept of Mardi Gras, Carnival, Fat Tuesday, etc. seems to make a mockery of the practice, not to mention the fact that I can't think of any personal sacrifice that comes close to matching the sacrifice of Christ.
