A Putrid Pattern: Vuvuzela and Bouquet Pummelings
I shall be brief, to-the-point, and righteously indignant. Here are the facts.
During the TBEX World Travel Blogger Conference last month, I was Vuvuzela-ed in the face. This is to say, I was brutally accosted by a Vuvuzela-wielding top travel blogger (pictured below). The experience was very loud. I still somewhat hear the (South African?) sea in one ear from the instrumental trauma.
That is fact one.
Fact two: This evening I was innocently attending a seaside wedding in Rhode Island when, all of a sudden, I was pummeled with a bouquet of bright blue flowers! Ooh, the indignity! Ooh, the pollen overload! It was a fiasco.
Given these two pieces of evidence, do YOU see a pattern emerging? I certainly do. Harumph! Stop Vuvuzela and flower violence today!

Why did your friend do that? >.< You got two good scares in a month and that's "healthy". I scare my parents by hiding near the clothes rack so every single time they walk to the bedrooms or bathroom, they get mini heart attacks. :) It's so fun!
At least you can say you've experienced Flower Power!
Lillie, you know what you did to receive the vuvuzela blast... I will not tell the folks here, but there was no innocence.
stay adventurous, Craig
I like your #GHA blouse .... #ESP #ESP #ESP #worldcup CHAMPION
Those horns... I hope the ringing of the ears has stopped.
The killer Vuvuzela... Always on the move.
Hahaha you don't say what you did to deserve such brutal attack
I'm innocent, I tell you! Innocent!
