[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 look more rad than Lutheranism

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)

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.

I'd assumed Same as it Ever Was plus that whole 'have your cake and eat it' thing.

t pedant The song title is "Once in a Lifetime," if you mean the Talking Heads song. t /pedant

I'm still fuzzy on where the beautiful cake saying came from -- I wasn't asking for the etymological background; "not my beautiful [noun]" is pretty damned obvious as a Talking Heads line. THAT reference didn't elude me. (But the Talking Heads didn't sing about cake, at least in that song, hence my confusion.)

I just wondered why cake, and if it was a fandom thing like John Ringo or whoever. But it seems that it's actually a Buffista thing vs. fandom as a whole (yes?) (at least so far), and it's just one of those things that someone said and now it's a Thing.

Izzat about right?

Yup. I think there was a metaphor about how your beautiful cake may be totally disgusting to somebody else (possibly shrift), but that's okay so long as you don't stuff your beautiful cake in her face. Or something.

All is well that ends in pizza.

If you Zat a cake, it gets a bit messy.

Or would it? it's primarily an electrical weapon, but doesn't seem to cause anything in the way of heat or mess.

Okay, you can Zat a cake, but stand back a bit. And don't fire three times.

I'm pretty sure SG-1 would back me up on this.

I'm pretty sure Jack would not back you up on any plans to zat cake. Unless he had already tasted it and decided it was really bad.

Thrive to spite them

If you zat a cake three times (twice?) it disapperas so if you did it fast enough then there should be minimal cake explosion.

I think.
