A Poem To My “Net Buddy 4 Life”

If you’ve visited my site before you may have noticed that a number of changes have been made to it, seemingly made overnight! Well guess what folks? It was overnight! Yes, while I was in my jammy’s, sleeping in my warm, soft, comfortable, bed, my Net Buddy 4 Life, aka, Nick, aka, Spud was working his net magic and making michaelmckinlay.com a super site! What did he do? Well here’s a list and Im sorry if I’ve forgotten something:

airbrushed my face to the mountain scene(located at the top of my homepage)

added mybloglog (on the left hand column, if you scroll down you’ll see recent visitors to my site)

added icons to the bottom each post, making it easier for readers to subscribe to my site

added an rss feed and technorati icon in the right column

Anywho, as you can see Nick, I mean Spud has done a lot, for which I am extremely grateful. In fact if it wasnt for Spud, I mean Nick, there’d be no michaelmckinlay.com Anyway this poem is for and I call it..

By the way Nick, I mean Spud coined the term “Net Buddy 4 Life” by ripping off the Will Smith movie “Bad Boys” I think Will Smith said at one point in the film to Martin Lawrence “We live together, we ride together… Bad Boys for Life” Well Spud, I mean Nick and I have this internet relationship where we “surf together, and crash together, Net Buddys 4 Life” I live in Canada, and Spud, I mean Nick, lives in Japan. We’ve met each other in person a few times but we’ve really gotten to know each other better over the net, mainly thanks to Skype… Anyway here goes the poem!

    My Net Buddy 4 Life
    By Michael McKinlay

You are my Net Buddy 4 Life
You are also the webmaster of Nice4Rice
If I didn’t have you
Oh what would I do?
My Net Buddy 4 Life

You’ve been there every step of the way
Your wife may think we are gay
But we live thousands of miles away
And besides,
We just don’t swing that way

You’ve added so many features to my site
You’ve helped me through errors, giving me technological dee-lite
You are the owner of Nice4Rice
Oh Nick, oh Spud, oh Whoever
My Net Buddy 4 Life

Some people may think this poem is weird
I dont have a beard
I know that last line didn’t fit well
But what can I do, mmm can’t make this line work either
I give up
My Net Buddy 4 Life

    That second verse had me in stitches! Thanks for the poem Mike. I think the line was “We ride together, we die together, bad boys for life”.

    Thanks Net Buddy!!!
