I can't roll my R's. I sound especially silly when I'm trying to speak Greek.

Childhood disappointments:

Never could do armpit farts. Never could do a cannonball in a swimming pool. Never could spin a basketball on my finger.

For many years I thought Captain Kirk and the enterprise were real. William Shatner is not Captain Kirk, and the enterprise is just a toy.

It is better to not be able to roll one's R's than it is to over-annunciate them. Greek isn't as widely spoken as Spanish is over here, but the latter is another example of an 'R' rolled language. My sister is very fluent, but she overcompensates. I've never met a born Spanish-speaker with an accent and dialect idiosyncrasies as thick as her's are. Even a word like 'rum' she'll give an extra long drum roll before finally spitting the R out. It sounds r-r-r-r-ridiculous.

Oh my gawd -- now I'm SO tempted to do arm-farts on YouTube.

I double dare you!

Just to prove you can. Et tu, Brute? All right, if your heart is set on it, I'm deeply humbled to be the pathetic inspiration for this, your finest moment!
