YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT, TOO: The Institute for the Linguistically Impaired held a staff
meeting after a note on this phrase came from astute reader Jerry Davis, of La
Crosse, Wisconsin. We left Strunk Hall
with a resolution to advise everyone to stop using it.
While the cake saying makes sense, it causes awkwardness,
because it confuses the logical, so the hearer may have to think it out, during
which time he or she doesn't hear you.
So it impedes clear communication. Besides, we've released patients with
Logical Systems Transplants (LSTs), and they already have great trouble
understanding those who say I could care
less.
Beginning August 14th, the boundary-breaking rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch will explode onto the Hangar stage. Get out your glitter and prepare to take a walk on the wild side with our outrageous leading lady Hedwig Schmidt. Hard rock and hard politics unite in this potent, OBIE-winning off-Broadway hit.
Written by John Cameron Mitchell, Hedwig and the Angry Inch is an in-your-face, thought-provoking exploration of personal and cultural identity. A recent victim of a botched sex change operation, Hedwig escapes communist East Berlin to America where she ultimately pursues a life of rock & roll stardom. She creates the rock band “The Angry Inch”, plays nightly gigs in rundown venues and now makes a stop in Ithaca.
