Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I think people are only saying it all at once here (seriously -- the only Google hit on the full phrase is an LJ entry about SPN fandom. I'm'a blame Nutty.)
It's definitely Wincest related in my head.

I always speculated "that is not my beautiful cake" was a reference to the Talking Heads song Same as it ever was (specific line: This is not my beautiful wife) also referring to "Cake or Death" routine which we were quoting a bit at the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I associate it with shrift explaining her stance on Wincest.

I kind of assumed that it was "Same as it Ever Was" plus "MacArthur Park." But I have nothing at all to back that up.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I'd assumed Same as it Ever Was plus that whole 'have your cake and eat it' thing.
...actually, I have a faint, nagging voice in the back of my head that says I should know remember the origins of the phrase.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I love the plumber 'cause he brings us candy. I'm having a lollipop while I do my nightly reports.

I thought this was a popular culture reference referring to some obscure source for the "beautiful cake" phrase. Then I realized it was a description of Laga's real life.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Bingo.

Well, clearly I can't explain it. Though for some reason I associate it with JZ...maybe I just associate JZ with beautiful cakes. From her wedding. Or, um, something. Dunno.
Anyway. Went to dancing. There were like, fifteen people there, max. Ah well. Wednesdays are really just for the rehearsal for their dance troupe. I tried to learn the line dance, only to discover that the meds are making it hard for me to learn dances as well. AHHHH! This is not good. But in this instance, not a big deal, because not a song I would really want to line dance to anyway.
Then I had to flat out tell the 52 year old that I did not want to date her. I felt bad about that. But no.
