Welcome to......

Kill This Thread LX

The following rules were established by Kent Shakespeare at the start of the first 24-hour version, adapted from the original rules by EDE:

The rules:

1. The Basic Idea: Post to this thread, if no one posts after you for 24 hours, you win!

2. Posts that are not direct responses to one of the five preceding posts are ineligible to win. The topic can drift, but no complete non-sequitors. Posts that are responses to non-sequitors are also ineligible to win. Posts that are responses to responses to non-sequitors, and response nses to those posts, etc., become eligible, however.

3. In the event that this thread is locked, there shall be no winner unless a new thread is started for the contest. Furthermore, any post that results in the banning of the poster shall also be ineligible to win.

4. So, more precisely, one wins if one makes a post, and then no one makes another post that's eligible to win for 24 hours.

I never understood that cake quote. I did hear an explanation last year that made sense but now I can't remember what it was.

I don't understand it either TBH. I just enjoy quoting it because I love cake.

I also don't understand it! i did read the explanation was: if you've already eaten your cake, you can't have it again. but gosh, they sure could have picked a better metaphor!

how about -

you can't read your limited edition untouched comic book, and still have it retain its maximum monetary value?

Maybe something like "You can't save your money and spend it too"?

The original is weird because nobody just wants to possess cake without eating it. Having it or eating it isn't really a difficult choice.

I know right, when I first heard it I thought: do some people just want to keep the cake in a display case?

It could be a fancy cake.

It could also be fake...

There is a tradition of saving part of your wedding cake, but I never really thought that's what the saying is referring to.

I never understood this. I've heard of saving the knife that you use to cut it (that's what we did) but not the cake itself.

I think it dates from a time when wedding cakes tended to be more like fruitcakes than modern wedding cakes.

And so he would soon discover that you can't have your cake and eat it too!

Aha! Back when wedding receptions were actual melee events!

I guess that movie was before your time, Ibby, but that's okay. It's a very funny movie that makes a mockery of all the King Arthur tropes. Certainly worth watching in the present day.
