Funny thing is that the TOBC (Tulsa Oiler Booster Club which I was a part of for several years) started selling those around 2001 for the games after we saw how well the Topeka booster club was at selling them.  The Booster officers said 'those things will NEVER sell'.  We got our first gross (144 or whatever).  They sold out in 2 hours.  They kept selling them at a modest mark-up until the Oilers decided it would be better for them to sell them and barred the BC from doing so.

If used properly, they don't sound like buzzing.  I'm surprised half the crowds heads didn't explode from the constant 'horn-tooting'...LOL.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup was the 19th FIFA World Cup, the world championship for men's national association football teams. It took place in South Africa from 11 June to 11 July 2010. The bidding process for hosting the tournament finals was open only to African nations; in 2004, the international football federation, FIFA, selected South Africa over Egypt and Morocco to become the first African nation to host the finals.
The matches were played in ten stadiums in nine host cities around the country, with the final played at the Soccer City stadium in South Africa's largest city, Johannesburg. Thirty-two teams were selected for participation via a worldwide qualification tournament that began in August 2007. In the first round of the tournament finals, the teams competed in round-robin groups of four teams for points, with the top two teams in each group proceeding. These sixteen teams advanced to the knockout stage, where three rounds of play decided which teams would participate in the final.
In the final, Spain, the European champions, defeated third-time finalists the Netherlands 1–0 after extra time, with Andrés Iniesta's goal in the 116th minute giving Spain their first world title, the first time that a European nation has won the tournament outside its home continent. Host nation South Africa, 2006 world champions Italy and 2006 runners-up France were eliminated in the first round of the tournament.

I love it. That brings back fun memories. The dreaded evil New York Cosmos. The best in the N.A.S.L.
I also liked seeing the Tulsa Tribune banner on the wall.
