Okay. I need to know something, because it’s driving me crazy: What is the origin of the new Haas soundboard cue (“NO, NO, NO…”)?
Every time I hear it, I laugh out loud SO HARD (which is occasionally awkward when I am listening via earbuds in at the gym). It’s the funniest thing ever, and I am not sure why.
Thanks!
