What a funny and interesting post! I'm not a Catholic, so I didn't know about the observance of Lent. Here in S'pore, my Catholic friends abstain from eating red meat every Friday throughout the year. I wonder if they stayed up for some meat-eating action on Friday midnights. Probably not, cos none of them are now successful lawyers. :)
Oh, I thought I was reading my own thoughts about lawyering around abstaining from meat, hehehe! Funny thing is, I know a group of priests who do the same thing. :-)
I've been lurking in this blog for quite sometime. Now I can't resist commenting.
I need to give something up for lent. I'm still recovering from Mardi Gras and two deadlines in the middle of all the parties.

Heh. There's always the Sunday loophole, too (Sundays are in Lent, but not of Lent).
A friend of mine is doing "Forty Days of Lentils". I'm trying to "eat poor" (and feed the poor) but no specific bans.
