Meatless Fridays and a meatless Lent are old Catholic traditions. They should be brought back.
“Meatless Fridays and a meatless Lent are old Catholic traditions. They should be brought back.”
I was one of those weird kids in high school that actually looked forward to fish stick Fridays. I thought the people that actually looked forward to that crappy Pizza on Fridays were weird.
Nothing better than a fish stick with a little ketchup... of course nowadays I like the tartar sauce. You got to remember back then the fish sticks were actually Cod. That went away after we got too good at catching Cod and now the great Cod Fisheries are gradually making a come back. Which is good news! Canada noticed their Cod fishery was waning 25 or so years before we did, and they put a stop to catching Cod up there and now that Cod Fishery is back almost in full swing.
Sometimes you got to hang up the hook. Won’t be long and the Big Tuna fishery in St. Edwards is going to be shut off for a decade or so. Even the commercial fisherman up that way think we should hang up the hook or should have five or seven years ago things are getting kind of critical with the big Tuna. The older tuna, the big ones they’re the procreators and they’re also in high demand over in Japan and they’re buying up every scrap of it they can lay their hands on. Bastards!
Meatless Fridays in Lent are still the rule for Catholics.
For some of us, they never went away.
And then there's Gollum:
Alive without breath;
As cold as death;
Never thirsting, ever drinking;
Clad in mail never clinking.
Drowns on dry land,
Thinks an island
Is a mountain;
Thinks a fountain
Is a puff of air.
So sleek, so fair!
What a joy to meet!
We only wish
To catch a fish,
So juicy-sweet!
