North Pole on the Run!

Maaaan on the ruuuun.

According to this article from the internet, the North pole is moving. And no not in some silly "the ice is melting" sense, in that actual magnetic north is moving, and at an alarming rate. The pole itself is now moving at 37 miles a year toward America's most ancient enemy, Russia. That may not seem like something that's moving very quickly, but keep in mind that 100 years ago the pole was moving at only 9 miles per year, and in the other direction, toward freedom.

Scientists believe that the movement may be a natural fluctuation, or even a switching of the poles, an event thought to take place about every 300,000 years (it's been 780,000 since the last swap). This scenario would be terrible news, as the swap would devastate the Earth and likely wipe man off of the planet. The other theory is that the magnetic field itself is actually dispersing, another terrible reality as without the field we'd be fried by the sun in about 3 seconds. Both Doomsday scenarios, and you know how we love a Doomsday scenario here at Bonus Time! However we've decided to take a crack at this one and certainly hope that you'll find our scenarios far more believable than the hocus pocus science bullshit you might have heard.

First Scenario:

Super Earth is using a giant space vacuum to steal our magnetic field.



Yes - as in the cult classic space tale 'Spaceballs' it is entirely possible that Super Earth is using some kind of giant laser, or vacuum, to steal or destroy our Magnetic Field. Now I've gone over the threat of Super Earth before, and I'm sure it's one that you're already familiar with. But for any new comers, let me spell it out to you. Super Earth is a gigantic planet, about a million times the size of Earth and they've got it out for us. You see Super Earth is not the most hospitable place to live, it rains fire and the seas shit blood, Super Earthicans as far as we can tell revel in only one thing: the complete and utter destruction of Regular Earth.

And as we've seen so far, they'll stop at almost nothing to get to us. Whether by using psychological warfare in Australia, or sending their Titanic babies to destroy our population, it's clear they know no restraint when it comes to wiping our little blue and green ball of mud off of the face of the galaxy. It's now clear that they've turned their sights on us once again, in an even more deadly than ever show of force.

There is however a second theory, one that may be even more deadly than the first:

Mecha Stalin has teamed up with Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in an attempt to destroy Bonus Time and human life on Earth!

Yeah THIS Magneto.

If you haven't had a heart attack by now, I don't know what will phase you, and you may very well be a robot yourself!

I -- I'm sorry, let me relax for a moment. It's just that the nature of the crime, and where the pole is heading only really tell us two things very plainly, that Magneto and Joseph Stalin are very likely involved. As mentioned a few months back, it's very likely that Joseph Stalin is back and it's very likely he's got an axe to grind with his old nemesis America.

Now it's common knowledge that this country pretty much owns everything worthwhile, but let's go over a short list:

  • The Moon
  • Cheeseburgers
  • Beer
  • Skittles
  • And of course, Christmas and therefore the North Pole
If Russia is to steal the North Pole they pretty much own Christmas too. And if America loses their grasp on Christmas, you can pretty much say goodbye to everything you love about it.

Ridiculous consumerism?

Done.

Jews that get Christmas presents anyway?

Done.

Kwanza?

Done.

As you can see this threat stands to effect pretty much everyone on Earth. Plus what kind of psychological effect will that have on us? If Russia takes the North Pole then what's next, Apple Pie, Baseball, Childhood obesity?

And who better for Stalin to team with other than Magneto? He's got a checkered history of hating America and humans in general. And you may be saying, wait a minute why would Magneto team with Stalin a known human? Well the answer there is that Magneto has either made this temporary alliance to benefit himself for the time being, or there's more to Stalin's resurrection than meets the eye, perhaps he too is a mutant.

Only time will tell which of these two evils are truly at work here, but stay alert Boners. Sooner or later action is going to have to be taken against this very real, and very anti-Bonus threat. And I daresay tinfoil hats may not even save us this time!

Frozen Drink Enthusiasts Beware


HAHAHAHA THAT BIRD IS WEARING A SHIRT!

Bad news for those of you who enjoy a frosty margarita on a warm summer day. According to this article, sent in by reader Rachel, your days may be numbered.

Scientists aboard Russian research vessel Professor Khromov found some shocking developments in their most recent arctic census journey. The scientists were able to collect water, ocean mud, and sealife samples all from an area that normally should be completely covered in ice.

In fact, in 2004 the 'station' they stopped at was 350 miles south of where they stopped this time around, the distance being covered completely in ice. This time however it was open water, and as mission coordinator Kevin Wood put it, "
There isn’t enough ice here to make a margarita,” with water open on all sides.

Now this mission is sent out to study the effects of global warming, but here at Bonus Time we know there are far deadlier threats to the planet Earth. This however is not something to be taken sitting down.

If we can't enjoy frozen drinks in the arctic circle of all places, then where can we? Is this the beginning of a domino effect? Are daiquiris next? What about pena coladas? And what of Margaritaville? Without Margaritaville we'll lose Jimmy Buffet, if that guy isn't tanked 100% of the time one has to assume that at this point he'll explode. Without him there's no elevator music! And oh god the Hawaiian shirts, what will we do with all of the Hawaiian shirts?


Hang in there, big guy!

On top of all of this there's no ignoring the fact that turning ice, booze, and fruit into drinks is one of the better ways to live your Bonus Time, summer or not. As you can see readers, this situation is dire indeed.

Something has to be done about this, maybe the old Futurama method of dunking a giant ice cube into the arctic seas can save our favorite frozen concoctions. Regardless, a lack of ice for getting drunk is probably #2 on the list of most clear and present threats to Bonus Time.
