The Cake is a Lie

This evening, I did something that completely goes against a classic American saying. Yes, I know, I'm a rebel.

Today, not only
Did I have my cake. No,
I also ate it.


Seriously, who thought of this saying? It is a bit ridiculous. If I have my cake, of course I'm going to eat it. Does the saying mean that you can have a cake but someone else will steal it from you? Or you can't have a cake but you can steal someone else's? That's such a cynical view of life. You can work so hard in life, and spend all of this time to get your cake, but never get a chance to eat it, always just an inch away from it?! Or, you can take the evil path of cake thievery, and steal what other people have worked so hard to accomplish? Damn these cake philosophers!

In other news, today is the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Pythons. No, not some band based on serpentes antics, but rather the comedy troupe of the Monty Pythons, those witty British people talked of in some of my posts and frequently quoted.
