OTHER THAN THE VUVUZELAS THE TWO GUYS PICTURED ARE BLOWING, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL THOSE NAKED GUYS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING
At first I thought a Vuvuzela was some sort of exotic animal roaming the plains of Africa until my curiosity got the best of me and I looked it up. By now most of you know that it’s a horn used to create all kinds of noise during the World Cup games.
I didn’t even know what the World Cup was. I thought perhaps it was the size of some woman’s bra who got into the Guinness Book of World records for having the biggest cup size. Or maybe some bozo who loves ceramics and decided to make the world’s largest coffee cup. What the hell did I know.Â
Ok, so now I know it’s a sport and it’s quite popular. And this is where those Vuvuzelas come in.
Now I’m not a follower of the World Cup, so I had no clue what the hell a Vuvuzela was until I came across it in an issue of Time magazine in their “Numbers” blurb. 144……….that’s the maximum sound level, in decibels of those Vuvuzelas used by fans at the World Cup matches which is the equivalent to that of a jet taking off.
Skip the games and just go veg out on a runway a JFK airport. Same effect but less crowded.
I guess that’s how the fans express their excitement during the games….blowing their horns. OK…..fine. They’d probably get the same effect at less cost if they all carried handkerchiefs and simultaneously blew their noses. Honnnnnnnnnnnnnnk!!!  Less decibels too.
I don’t think I could endure all that noise. It’s bad enough listening to those damn cowbells during a Tampa Bay Rays baseball game or that &%^$##! drum guy for the Cleveland Indians. What the hell’s with THAT!!!
Anyone remember seeing the Colorado Rockies wave white handkerchiefs during a playoff game? No noise involved there. Just a lot of flapping sounds. Kept the birds away too.
Nope, give me a normal type atmosphere while I’m watching a game. I don’t want some pumped up jock blowing any damn horn, beating a drum, waving a handkerchief or anything within 100 feet of where I’m sitting. I can just about tolerate those vendors yelling in my ear….”HEY…COLD BUD LITE”…………………Geez.
As a final note here, I mistakenly mistyped “vuvuzela” while I was researching it and it brought me to a porno site with some interesting pictures of…um…….vulv….er…….neverrrrrrrrr mind.
That’s why I was late in posting today’s blog…..sorry.
