Well, of course it's about my life and stuff I think about. Just like a quadzillionbazillion other bloggers. I'm obsessed with God. I love beauty, enjoy absurdity, dance with despair, seek silence, and think everyone is goofy. Here's my world and what I think of it....

Perhaps the good Bishops will give a dispensation? ;)
One might say, "the longer the fast, the more likely McD's has McRibs", right? But, what this graph says is the length of the fast is based on the availability of said delicacy. A fitting epitimia indeed!
Anon, the intention was the former, the latter is tantamount to spiritual abuse. :)
The Gardenburger folks make a surprisingly good Lenten version, though it's not always easy to find. Unfortunately I can't have it anymore due to diabetes (too much sugar in the sauce), but it got me through my first Lent as an Orthodox.
I guess I'm pretty lucky to live in the land of Gates, Bryant, Fiorella, and Oklahoma Joe. (And a hundred other great barbecue shops, I just can't mention them all in a combox.) Or not so lucky: fasting is tough year-round.
Luckily, tasted a bite of someone else's McRib and it was not to my taste.
Bullet dodged. :)
McDonalds is fast food!
Actually we have some good BBQ places around Phoenix, but being in construction and eating fast food every day for basically breakfast and lunch I LOVE the McRib as a break from the standard dollar menu stuff. 3 bucks for lunch when a real BBQ place would run me $7-8.00. And it beats the heck out of Taco Hell's bean burritos during 40 day lenten seasons.
Oh come on! You don't really believe there's any actual meat in those things, do you? This is McD's you're talking about.
Fr. Sean, if there's no meat in them I'd like to know what McDonalds did with the 2% of the world's pork production they buy when they sell the McRib. http://www.dailywealth.com/1054/E-coli-McRib-and-a-Bull-Market-in-Pork
Maybe they give it to senators for their spending bills. :/
Come on Steve, the Advent fast hasn't even started yet. Get them while they're still hot.
Eating fast food twice a day isn't something I'm required to do, for which I am grateful. Rare is the day my wife and I fail to share breakfast together at home. And I get to nuke frozen Costco stuff for lunch when I'm not eating leftovers.
If it's the bean burrito vs. the McRib, I think you're making the right choice. Don't have any street taco vendors there? Now that's temptation: pastor tacos and hot sauce.
They offer shrimp tacos where I live. Neener neener.
(Also I've heard of priests granting a dispensation to begin the fast on Black Friday.)
Totally off topic:
Steve! Congrats on the Eastern Christian New Media Award nomination!!!
lol, that is funny
The church is just trying to protect you.
I know the pain. It's the only McDonalds sandwitch for which I get cravings.....ah, the irony!
Found this: now you can have them when McRib is "out of season"
