Becca-ism #71

I never understood the point of the phrase have your cake and eat it too.  Why in the world would I have a cake that I couldn’t eat? I want my cake to eat and then I want to eat yours.  There.  I said it.

  1. ater you’ve eaten your cake, you no longer have it to eat. wouldn’t it be nice to have it both ways…that’s what it means, and if you don’t like my explanation, bite me.

  2. Becca you cannot have my cake
    but then again I might share it with
    you if you are good for a change :)

    Nooooooooo strike that, naughty is
    always much better, well for me it is
    that’s for sure :) lol

  3. Sorry to come over all scientific Becca, but in the many universes interpretation of quantum mechanics (cometimes known as the Multiverse) you can indeed have your cake and eat it, and an infinite number of other possibilities as well. Anything you can think of and many, many more that you can’t conceive. Whatever can be done with or without a piece of cake – it’s happening somewhere – and you’re doing it.
    No doubt some of the infinite Beccas knew all that and were just teasing their audience, some didn’t know and some sort of knew but couldn’t quite explain it and others…

  4. I don’t see the point, either. I think the point is that once you eat the cake, it’s gone, but that’s not even always true. Many times I’ve seen my dog eat something, vomit it, and then eat it again.

  5. Well if I eat it, I still have it, in a way – at least for a while. It would be cheesecake. I suppose you don’t like cheesecake, you choco-hater. But does cheesecake really count as cake anyway? It’s like a cake/pie hybrid. I’m sure you have an opinion on this, and of course, it’s the correct opinion to have.

  6. It’s a reference to you can’t have the best of both worlds. meaning you cannot enjoy the view of the cake in its entirety and eat it without destroying its original form.

  7. I recently had an interesting fling with a girl who wanted to be emotionally involved but stopped talking with me when I got upset due to us not actually being in a relationship. This is a perfect example of having your cake and eating it too.

    • Hey don’t bring your common sense arguments into this discussion. Just because you know what you’re talking about doesn’t make you right. ;) Really that had to be frustrating.
