Frank (aka PCGuy) and Di (aka Pensitivity101) alternate as host for Fibbing Friday, a silly little exercise where we are to write a post with our answers to the ten questions below. But as the title suggests, truth is not an option. The idea is to fib a little, a lot, tell whoppers, be inventive, silly, or even outrageous, in our responses. Today is Frank’s turn to host and here are his questions.
1. How did tartar sauce get its name?

Noodling is what Ted Cruz does in an airport when the people in his state are without the basic services of civilization. As usual, I enjoyed your answers.
