I take very few pictures. I can’t handle the camera on my phone, because I can’t hold it steady. I can just about take a picture of a check that I want to deposit and send it off to the bank, because they’re rather forgiving. If I need a picture that badly, I ask Mary to take it for me.
The picture above was taken with the Photo Booth application on my laptop. I was asked if I could roll my tongue, and decided I’d just take a picture. This I can handle, because I can set my laptop on a level surface and get the picture.
I’m wearing headphones, because whenever I try playing music through the speakers Mary tells me to put my headphones on because I’m disturbing her. I wear headphones most of the time I’m on the computer because I might need to build a playlist, because that’s about 75% of what I do on this blog anyway. Or I might want to sit around and play videos for myself, or music from Spotify or any of the other apps I use to play music to myself.
Or a commercial video….

Stream of Consciousness Saturday is brought to you each week by Linda Hill and this station. Now a word about Busch Bavarian Beer, America’s new taste in beer!
Cheers to Busch Bavarian (I never tried it, but the commercial was fun to watch!). Did you know that not every person can roll their tongue like that? It’s a genetic thing. It’s quite hilarious to watch someone who doesn’t have the gene try to roll their tongue.

I think they just call it Busch now. They position it as more of a bargain brand than Budweiser, but I’m sure it has its fans.

Busch Light was our go-to beer before we gave carbs up. I could never do Budweiser – but I did think they had great commercials.

The Bud commercial that absolutely kills me when I see it is the one where the guy raises a Clydesdale and sells it to Budweiser, then goes to a parade, sees the horse, and as he’s getting into his car the horse runs to him at full gallop.

Good one, John, but can you tie a cherry stem in a knot with your tongue? I can. Great bar trick.

Tongue rollers make it look so easy. I used to try to roll my tongue, but gave up. I just tried one more time. It’s very hard to get any kind of fold. I think it’s time to accept reality. This is not one of my gifts. Roll on, John.

It’s genetic: you either have it or you don’t. I don’t think you can practice your way into it.

Okay. I’m going to accept the things I cannot change, with tongue rolling being one of them.

I can roll my tongue too. Did you know that it is genetic..one can either do this or not, one can’t learn it. I like the funness of your pic and if that word doesn’t exist…oh well. I would love to hear my brother yodel for beer…maybe not. Love the 50s/60s cartoon look.
