[Frank? Frank! It is a Yang worship word. You shall not speak it!] I went to the West Tisbury Farmers Market on Martha's Vineyard. One tent was a place that sold hot sauces (Mimi's) and had a sign. Strictly speaking, the forbidden word on the sign was the plural form of my name, which is a competing brand of hot sauce, whose name must not be spoken there. But I felt it was more amusing to make it apply to even a single Frank. It didn't take long in Photoshop to fix that problem.

I asked the owner if I could get a picture of the sign and she asserted that I had been there before, having had my picture taken while under the sign. Who am I to try to argue my way out of time loops. So I had my sister take the picture. The owner did suggest that perhaps I was just the second person named Frank to have a picture taken with the sign, but I think she was just trying to avoid creating a temporal paradox.
