Bonus Time Events

So on Facebook we've got a section where it's Bonus related events that have taken place in the years prior to Bonus Time beginning.  They're all contained in a giant list, in a section a lot of people probably naturally wouldn't click on.  What does this mean?  We're reposting it on the blog, because no one's probably ever read all of them.  I'm gonna do this year by year though, so it's a little easier to handle.  This should give you the reader a little more insight into what's been special about the last 9 years, and help you live your life to it's most Bonus stuffed potential.

Because it would be wierd to start with 2005, we're going to start with 2000:
