Actually, most liturgical churches observe Lent. So if you're looking for 40 days of repentance, you can go to your local Catholic, Orthodox, Episcopal/Anglican, Lutheran or Methodist churches! Tell them Prof. MacJake sent you, and watch as they blink in incomprehension.
The real trick is to give up something good enough to impress the others with your sacrifice, but something not close enough to you that you won't miss it.

I bet he went and punched out some Romans with the still-attached blocks of wood.

Chuck Norris/The Messiah won.
I ate sausage. It is niether Ash Wednesday nor is it a Friday during Lent. A hamburger is not special.
EDIT: Do it again tomorrow and you can feel special.
