What would I do with one? I don’t even own a foam finger
My dream band consists of a mellotron, a theremin and a glass harmonica. No room for a vuvuzela.
I had one, briefly, in probably ‘85 or ‘86. Or at least one of the plastic horn types that you play like a trumpet. TBH, I’m not sure if that’s exactly the same thing or not*.
I bought it at a minor league hockey game in Indianapolis. Like the dumb male teenager I was, I blasted it until the usher took it away. Easy come, easy go.
*Just looked it up: per Wikipedia, they’re the ‘zact same thing
It was all over the news, even for those like me with zero interest in sportsball.
Finest kind.
I don’t know yet.
As the drone, maybe? That’s if your hurdy-gurdy is in the shop.
Louder than bagpipes?!?
We hates it, Baggins, we hates it.
Vuvuzela? Isn’t that the country in South America the US just bombed?
Have never had one and will never buy one; my only experience with them is ruining the SA world cup broadcasts.
Not possible. You got some kind of horn, but it was definitely not a vuvuzela.
OK, I got a long plastic horn, that has been available in the United States since the 1960s, that I got at a city right next to a Latin-American country, and that was shaped exactly like a vuvuzela and is called a vuvuzela.
Now. It definitely was not called that when you got it.
And…? It could have been called a winklesnorter then, but it’s called a vuvzuela now. Therefore, it was a vuvuzela.
Be careful about typos when Googling at work.
Naah. That’s not how names work, especially cultural properties. Even the genuine South African vuvuzela wasn’t called that until the 90s.
No, I use a tissue.
When you blow your nose, do you use a kleenex? Let’s drop the hijack.
You say hijack, I say calling out cultural appropriation…but I’ll drop it.
I had not heard of them until the World Cup (2010?). There was one in my childhood home since before I was born in the late 70s. It was being used as a sheath for a fencing foil. The foil’s 12cm guard fits perfectly into the instrument’s business end. I had no idea it made noise.
Why would they sell them at the game if they don’t want you doing that?
