Marathon Oil and the Boston Marathon Bombing - Is There a Connection?

[MineralMan]

Stay tuned. A website will no doubt find one shortly. When they do, you'll read about it here...

Note: Satire is a valid means of expression. This post is satire. Do not search for the hidden connections, although they are probably there if you look hard enough.

1. Ok. I get it. It's a Glenn Beck thing.

[randome]

2. And sometimes a DU thing, unfortunately.

[MineralMan]

5. Well, it could not be coincidental.

Marathon plus Marathon. What are the odds. And the oil company has things to hide, no doubt. There is a aeason gas prices are so high.

[Dash87]

8. Well, you can't prove it wasn't Marathon Oil.

[GeorgeGist]

3. Boston Oil Co. ...

is only blocks from the Marathon bomb sites. How convenient.

4. See. There is fracking of it, too. nt

6. Oh my...

7. Foucault's Pendulum, Umberto Eco

The best explication ever of why one just should not abandon the null hypothesis.

9. Too easy -- Haliburton is connected both.

Haliburton performs well services for Marthon.

Uncle Ruslan Tsarni worked on oil deals with Haliburton.

10. See. Remember who said it first.

[LiberalAndProud]

11. Yea. And do you think it's an accident that our nation's capitol

is in the District of Columbia? Did you know that Columbia is a country?

This is the short version of a real life conversation.

Don't you dare laugh!

[MineralMan]

12. Plus, Columbia is the gem of the ocean.

Offshore oil drilling, black gold, movie stars, swimming pools...

Clearly there is a Beverly Hills connection, and that means that Kevin Bacon is right smack dab in the middle of this stagnant cement pond.

It could not be clearer.

[LiberalAndProud]

13. Wait.

You have not explained to my satisfaction why every effing thing is named after effing Columbus. What's that about? If Kevin Bacon is involved, it can't be good though.

[MineralMan]

16. In fourteen hundred ninety-two,

he sailed the ocean blue. It all starts then. Christopher "Ruslan" Colombus started all that colonial nonsense and stole the oil from the Americas. He thought he was in India. Giorgio Boosh set him straight, though, and they went into the awl bidness, and that led to Marathon.

It is a straight line from Columbus, Ohio to Columbia University, too.

I hope that clarifies the issue.

[madinmaryland]

14. Marathon Oil is based on Findlay, Ohio. I knew alot of kids in the engineering school I went to

going with Marathon. A large company with good benefits, back in the 1980's.

[MineralMan]

18. Yes. see my post just above.

It is no coincidence that Columbus is in Ohio. I understand that he is a distant Bacon ancestor, too.

[madinmaryland]

21. I got that part of it. Just wanted to comment on Marathon oil, which is based on Ohio.

I guess I am guilty of a thread-jack, by providing an aside.

[MineralMan]

23. You have provided crucial info.

[cherokeeprogressive]

26. The Saudi "Person of Interest" was supposed to be going to school there. n/t

[LadyHawkAZ]

15. Of course!

It's all so clear now:

Marathon Oil is based in Texas, just like

Dubya, who also has a home in

Maine, which is in New England, just like

Massachusetts whose capital is Boston, home of the Boston Marathon and also

the setting of the film Mystic River, which starred



IT'S BEEN A KEVIN BACON CONSPIRACY ALL ALONG!

MM, you are a genius.

[MineralMan]

19. My #17 was intended as a reply to you.

[MineralMan]

17. See. I don't let any moss grow

under my toenails.

[antigone382]

20. This speculation is not complete without some alien lizard action.

I'm pretty sure this piece of bacon in the shape of a lizard is a sign...a message from ol' Kevin revealing his true nature to fellow illuminati.



Thought you could pull one over on us, didntcha, Mr. Kevin???

[MineralMan]

22. Say! None of that Illuminati crazy talk

in my thread. I won't have it. Let's keep this on-track, OK?

[antigone382]

24. There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.

If you choose to dismiss the evidence of our alien lizard overlords when it is revealed before your eyes on a remarkably (maybe TOO remarkably) grease free paper towel, then so be it.

Good day to you sir.

[MineralMan]

25. Uh-oh. Two black cars just pulled up.

I'd better didi mau for a while.

[pinboy3niner]

27. Couple of guys in suits showed up at my door a little while ago

Wanted to know if I could vouch for MineralMan. Well, you know I've got your back, buddy. So I replied, "Who? MineralMan? Never heard of him."

Good luck, buddy.
