Time to dig deep, DUers. You know how during sports events they have a gadget they give the

fans to hold over their heads and shake and shimmer so they can express their support for their team? Well, this Olympics is going to be a strictly armchair jockey event. So I'm looking for the ultimate fan gadget, and I know what I want. I'm thinking of a battery operated red, white and blue pinwheel. I've seen pinwheels attached to water sprayers, so why not an electronic pinwheel? Maybe, even one that shouts out, "USA, USA, USA!" But better than a vuvuzela.

The vuvuzelas.

I usually wave my TV remote in the air when there are events on that I don't particularly care for. Like "speed" walking. Now there's an event I just cant get excited about. So sue me.

I was trying to decide between zuzuvela, vuzuvela, vulvuella, etc. and never want to see those things again.

Pinwheels would work.
