Lent ends whenever you give in to temptation.
Or tomorrow, whichever comes first.

I ... I just remembered I said I would give up beer for Lent, too. Assuming it wouldn't come up. But I drank half a bottle on Thursday night (making an ass out of you and some guy named Ming...?).
STEWART'S FAULT. For the next three hours, anyway.

Soon I will be free of the weight of the world's sins and mistakes. In a way, I've been a kind of martyr-figure, accepting the blame for everyone elses weaknesses, malices, and general incompetence.
And Lent is about Jesus, isn't it.
...
There is only one logical conclusion to be made from this whole experience.

We should call you if we need our furniture fixed?

Ah, Tom. Tom Tom Tom. Enjoy the weight you have just inherited, leaving Stewart free to, I dunno, dance or whatever he does.
Just to get us rolling again: it's Tom's fault it's Easter Sunday and I don't have any chocolate.

Aw, Cati! It's Tom's fault I have an extra Easter egg! ;D Oh, and as for the subject of when the end of Lent was, by my calculations, it was a few days ago (40 days and 40 nights since it started). I just decided to keep going till today to avoid confusion. Oh, and Lent has nothing to do with Jesus - I don't think. It's to do with Passover... or maybe that's something else. Or to do with the flood and Noah... Actually, now I think about it, it probably is Jesus...

Lent is the period of forty days and nights that Jesus was tempted in the desert, hence why you give something you enjoy up...
But since it's counted up until Easter Sunday it's not exactly 40 days and nights, it's just those weeks in between Pancake Day and Easter.

I know all about Passover. It's when Superman flew all the Jews out of Egypt.

Was that Tom's fault as well?
