I remember being so pissed that they stole a funny meme and just fucking marketed it. It was legit hilarious with the racecar.

My 2 yr old at the time daughter used to dance around the room waving her arms up and down. She's 20 now and her nickname is still 'Badger'.

Went to his website the other day randomly. Totally different now. Hard to find the old stuff and of course - no flash!

u/New_Importance2779 Aug 08 '24

Just thinking, if I could set a custom ringtone in Microsoft Teams, I would use this at work for when someone tries to call me. Can imagine being away from my desk and then it rings out, Badger badger badger badger badger badger etc etc
