cue the crickets

[lcohen]

apparently mother nature feared that i would miss the background of the vuvuzelas--the crickets are in full-voice tonight, and it sounds very familiar.

I actually thought they sounded more like mosquitoes. (Ugh.)

so true, they do. but the constant buzz of an ongoing noise seemed quite familiar.

OHNOES! the vuvuzela button appears to have disappeared from YouTube clips

As a result of somebody accidentally stumbling across ESPN's rerun of the final yesterday, I actually got to hear the vuvuzelas, and they were different from what I expected. I thought they were like the horns one hears at places like Tropicana Field and the Oakland Coliseum, namely repeated notes generally in groups of three; this was more of a continuous buzz.

[lcohen]

it is exactly like a continuous buzz and i can't imagine who finds that inspiring. it's not like it's a different note if it's for your team, for example.

womzilla and I think that "vuvuzela" would be great in the title game: I Will Fear No Vuvuzelas, Last Dangerous Vuvuzela, Foundation and Vuvuzela--you know.
