So this didn’t quite go as planned last year, so with humility and perseverance I shall try again…

It’s finally arrived. The start of the Lenten season.

On this most humble day of the liturgical calendar, let us get out our Pete’s and smoke something @ashdigger would. If you wish you to join me on this most inward of pilgrimages, I am going to take up his exemplar and grab a Pete*, a stiff drink, watch something burn while I ponder what I will let go of this time round.

I’ll be substituting old fashioned with Margaritas, but you know all that when in Rome drink like St. Peter jazz.

As for said burnage, it doesn’t take a professional to understand how my tobacco got lit <insert bic lighter into evidence here>, however one can still look like a clown while smoking. I fall into this camp and will try rectify this before posting any selfies - actually the selfies thing might be the origin of the problem 🤔

And what shall my symbolic sacrifice be? Obviously something to do with sutliff. Originally I thought I’d reflect on the finiteness of my cellar, embrace the tobacapocalypse and abstain from smoking anything which has its provenance in the sutliff factory. I know, I know, hardly a burden, however the remnants of the Christian spirit in me has chosen to take the slightly higher of the low roads and commit to only smoking stuff from the STG factory for the next 40 days. Mathew 5:40 in the amplified new smokers translation.

Who too will join me in the wilderness? I start shall start with a mélange of Orlik golden showers and warrior butt plug.

Where is @ashdigger ? I haven't seen him in a long while.
And, I would have never guessed you were like just a... so young.
Great post! Not so clownish... but you'd better believe I would card you before I served you, ha ha.
I'm just jealous. I squandered my youth on fast women... and sometimes slow ones. puffy
I feel Jeff did a lot of air brushing on that pic bro, and maybe you don’t have your glasses on…

What does card me before serving me mean? I’m sure I’m just missing a cultural reference.

I’m hoping Tim pops in to say howdy. I miss his posts

My mother when in teacher’s college in Springfield later told how her roommate Jean Flippin came back storming to their room on Cherry Street and said my boyfriend said he loved me so much he’s going to give me up for Lent!

And my mother would always look straight at me and say, that’s how Miss Jean became Mrs Malvern Morrison.:)

Bad line, to use on a pretty maiden schoolteacher, it was indeed.

This post needs proof of age as all I see is some young peaky blinders impersonator with his dads pipe. Probably wearing Jandals and sipping stolen beer from his chilly bin too.
Should I be telling my parents a strange man from Tasmania on the internet is asking how young I am?

Also, thank you for referring to them as jandals and not thongs.

I can't wait until I get a Peterson "P" on my forehead. Must have been the "P" ash?

As everyone but aging Boomers know that's now called grooming. I hate to see the meaning of common words change, especially into something unsavory.

I was driving behind this van the other day. Either this poor man is hopelessly behind the times or his business model is very different from what I would have thought.
