This blog exists to point you all toward awesome Internet phenomena, but since Netplay’s main writer is leaving the Northwestern bubble for six months, we thought we’d make him into an Internet phenomenon. There’s no way a video of this toddling, stumbling, pumpkin-kissing Patrick St. Michel won’t go viral.

Thanks to the footage from Carrie St. Michel, you can see where this site’s most prolific writer’s passions developed. He cringes at a cup of foul drink like he cringes at the sounds of Mika. In search of cute animals, he yells out for a doggy. His singing amounts to the experimental noise that One Click Wonders always pimps out. He starts reppin’ The Simpsons at age four. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find any video evidence of the Mr. Lister he’d become, but he does gurgle something at his father that sounds vaguely like “Top ten food-centric music videos.”

NBN will miss you, Patrick, and we wish you a Happy Hanukkah.
