I certainly don't think you have to be a Christian to find Lent useful. I think the idea of a spiritual "declutter" applies to anybody who might want to subscribe to it (though you certainly don't have to do it at a fixed time of year if you don't want to).
spiritual declutter ( coll.) A description of the state of the whisky cupboard before retiring for the night. |

Or:
spiritual declutter n. The act of drinking every last drop of alcohol in your house in the week prior to Ash Wednesday, so as to avoid temptation during Lent.

Hmm, Bell's, a book and a candle. I wonder what the Venerable Soundwave would have to say about that? |

MONOPAUSE: little known experimental Chinese solo for monochord, written in emulation of Cage's 4'33" (or so most western critics maintain).

...However we shall in view of the evident misunderstanding this time exercise leniency and allow Mr. Baziron a further twelve hours to give out clues and hints before he loses his acculated time bonus points.

Certainly recommendable.

Baz, ...Come now. There are 100 examples of non-'repertoire' snatches here by that definition, at both ends of the chronological and stylistic spectrum, and at various points in between. Seems to me there's plenty of scope for all tastes in the wonderful world of Mr Grew's fun-fuelled competition! PS surely, 'elluded'?  To miss an error that eludes the more dyslexic Members when they peruse the Preview screen before posting to this MB.  |
