At least you're in the spirit of it ... I can't seem to fall into the "Suffering time" I just keep singing:
"Les Poisen - Les Poisen ... How I love Les Poisen ... Love to chop and to server little fish. First I cut off their heads, and I pull out their bones and give 'em a little squish.
Les Poisen - Les Poisen (Hee-Hee-Hee ; Hau-Hau- Hau) with a cleaver I chop them in two. I pull out what's inside and I serve it up fried 'cas I love little fishes don't you?"

Lent comes to an end before the evening Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday. That liturgy begins the Triduum, the great Three Days that celebrate the central mystery of our faith. Triduum rituals invite us all to baptismal renewal, par excellence. Here are some examples.
Washing of Feet: After the homily on Holy Thursday, we imitate our master in the washing of feet. This ritual reminds us that our baptismal commitment means we are to be servants of one another. In the time of St. Ambrose in Milan, those who were baptized also had their feet washed, because of Jesus' words to Peter: "Whoever has bathed has no need except to have his feet washed" (Jn 13:10). Many scholars have seen a baptismal reference in those words.
Veneration of the Cross: As part of our observance of Good Friday, we venerate the cross on which Christ died. The veneration challenges us to be willing to accept the cross, too, for it is the only way to resurrection. Through Baptism, we shared in Christ's death that we might come to new life. Every year we are called to deepen our identification with his cross and resurrection.
Waters of Baptism: The core of our celebration of the Easter Vigil is the Baptism of the elect. As we share in their joy on this holy night, we are all called to renew our own baptismal promises, to live in the joy of life in the Risen One. Lent comes to its fulfillment around the waters of the font.

I know people like me who the only meat they eat is fish... get totally screwed during Lent... I eat fish all the time... you eat it on Fridays... I think there should be a rule that people who eat it all the time get served first...
I am saying this all with a smile... no means to offend people.. I under stand it is an important holiday.. :-)
