To quote a long ago storyline in L’il Abner, “Frankly, I’m with Frank”. The story had Abner learning the line without knowing what it meant. Frank was a mob boss. Put the fear into anyone he said it to.
I was in the vicinity of Taliesin last summer but I drove right past it and did House on the Rock instead. Apparently the architect of House on the Rock was the son of another architect whom Wright once publicly humiliated, and he sought to avenge his father’s honor by upstaging Wright. At least that’s what I got from the introductory part of the tour, which I blew through as quickly as possible so I could see the more impressive exhibits farther in without having to worry about time.

The ironic think about frank people is they seldom like others telling them what obnoxious anal cavities they are.

It comes as no surprise that Rat’s “friend” would not only be frank but also be an obnoxious jerk. Rat wouldn’t have it any other way.
