Specifically, baseball statistics. Someone who hit the ball every time they stepped up to the plate would be rendered as having a batting average (the ratio of hits to "at bats") of 1.000. Unfortunately for ballplayers, the usual batting average is between .260 and .275 (according to Wikipedia). So someone who loves "1.000 time" would be a true love, one whose love never falters.

And whose wife was kind enough to share with the whole of internet land. The cake was purchased at that largest or big box retailers whose name might start with a "W". This particular store is located in the northern Midwest, so I don't think European decorators were involved. As far as I know it was one of those pre-made non-custom things. It was sitting there in the cooler and I thought it would make a great conversation piece for our dinner party that night. (It did) It sat on our counter for about a month in all its spender and was never eaten, so I am not sure what type of cake it actually was.

Instead of, perhaps, "I love fun time", they wrote "I love 1.000 (pronounced "one") time" so you would say it as Scooby would. If that is the case, it's pretty stupid. Just my 2 cents.
