Bonus Time Lifestyles

To some people realizing that it's Bonus Time right now can be a fantastic revelation. Some people upon having this revelation have a sense that their life is complete, that they finally understand why the world is the way it is, and why they live their life like they do. For others however it's not such an easy road. The idea that it is Bonus Time right now can be somewhat overwhelming for certain people. Some are upset that they've lived the last 9 years unaware of what was going on, desiring to make up for lost time and live their lives as Bonus-y as possible.

It is for these people that we've decided to put together this thread. We hope to focus on Bonus Time and the idea of helping people live their lives during Bonus Time. Today we're going to start with a few pointers on how to get by if you've just become aware of Bonus Time, or ideas that more seasoned Bonus veterans can use to re assert their love for Bonus Time.


Start Telling Other People About Bonus Time:
This is easy enough, but many people do not realize that this is one of the areas where they likely neglect Bonus Time the very most. Bonus Time comes up at every moment in every single day of our lives, because of course it is Bonus Time right now. If you are not finding ways to spread the word, and to include Bonus Time in every day conversation, then you're not only cheating yourself, but you're cheating those around you. And cheaters are fucking assholes, so if that's what you're doing go fuck yourself. Some tips for spreading the word about Bonus Time:
  • Interrupt other people's conversations to talk to them about Bonus Time.
This one may seem like a bit of a stretch at first, but following the year 2000 we've all been living on borrowed time. Most people realize this somewhere in the back of their heads, but have yet to fully come to terms with this in their lives. This means that they are essentially on "auto-pilot" and have been for the last 9 years. What this equates to is 99% of what they talk about in their everyday lives being complete and utter bull shit.
Who gives a fuck about your new shirt, your children's after school sports activity, or the fat chick you picked up at the after hours bar because you couldn't bear to cry yourself to sleep on another lonely saturday night? No one, that's who. Save yourself from incredible boredom, and help turn a friends life around by completely disregarding whatever shit they try to talk to you about, and ram some Bonus Time down their throat.
  • Use the "Broken Record"
If you have a friend who you feel really should be getting Bonus Time but isn't, it's important to bring the idea up to them as much as possible. Nothing is more successful then not just interrupting things a friend is talking about, but constantly doing so, and on top of that regularly bringing up Bonus Time at any point where conversation is possible. Go as far as to take it a step further, steal your friends ideas and proclaim that you had them first, or that the ideas were originally created by Bonus Time. If there is anything better then forcing your opinions on someone else, it's telling them that their opinions are not even their own, and that they're lying thieves for having them.
  • Sign every phone number in your phone book up for the Bonus Time Blip
You are probably aware of the Bonus Time Blip (and if you are not feel free to e-mail us at BonusTimes@gmail.com to sign up!) the official Bonus Time cellphone newsletter. For those who are not I will briefly go over the blip.
The Bonus Time blip serves to send Bonus Time related messages to Bonus Time fans at specifically and strategically chosen moments to inspire to live their lives in a more Bonus Time specific style. Most often done on a weekend to get people super ultra pumped up, the Bonus Time Blip serves to send a positive message to brighten peoples days, and their Bonus Time. Everyone who has ever gotten a Bonus Time blip agrees that they have never been, and arguably never will be more glad then the first time they got a blip.
Wow, even I'm floored by that description! Sounds like you should be a part of this, so again e-mail us at BonusTimes@gmail.com if you'd like to sign up, and if you are already signed up feel free to e-mail us all of the cell phone numbers in your phone so that you can sign up your friends and loved ones. It's pretty much like signing someone up for a charity but not a completely stupid waste of time, you won't regret it.

Hopefully the three ideas above will help you transition into a more "Bonus-y" lifestyle. That's it for now, but we will have more suggestions later down the line.
