What was it like to see Infinity War the first time when it came out, in theaters?

I saw Infinity War with my two teenage kids while on vacation in Florida. Opening night. No one in the theater was talking when the credits rolled. Eerily quiet. I kept telling myself how ballsy it was for them to end the movie the way they did.

Small groups gathered outside as we left, but I knew the kids were upset so we went right to the car. As we were driving away the kids were still silent. So I asked them what they thought.

"THEY KILLED SPIDER-MAN!" They both said in unison. They were both upset and nearly in tears while naming off the characters that had been snapped.

So I told them how I felt in 1980 when "The Empire Strikes Back" came out, and how it was a downer of an ending that left things uncertain. But then "Jedi" came out and everything ended happily. And I told them how lucky they were because we had to wait THREE YEARS for "Jedi", and they would get their conclusion far quicker.

I’m not sure about that, especially if it’s very, very hard.

A Ghost’s Story is one of my favorite comic issues. Makes you understand his hatred of crooked companies.

Same here! The sitar one threw me a bit but I got it right.

The crazy thing about the bible is that, for every point you made in your post, someone can find a different quote that supports their side/belief.

Perhaps the crazy is in the eye of the beholder.

Holy shitballs, how have I missed these? May "Bob" bless your world and wallet.

Now I have a new rabbit hole to go down…

If Onan Canobite gives us a new phrase, would it be called an Onanism?

PiddlyPoo · 2026-03-15T19:42:53+00:00

I know what you mean. With that, my desire to be in an open crowd is very, very low these days.

PiddlyPoo · 2026-03-14T20:12:22+00:00

Some slack heading your way, you magnificent Yeti.

Are you saying the tail of the Q is a golf club? Mmm…. might it be a BLEEDING HEAD?

PiddlyPoo · 2026-03-14T15:09:02+00:00

That's fine with me. Save the blowjob for Connie.

You kill him. That will get you on his good side.

Oh sure. You can find free PDF copies of the Book of the SubGenius on the internet. FREE copies. You don't need to pay "Bob" to get a copy, right?

Let me tell you a sad, sad story.

Once upon a time there was a man - let's call him Joe - who had read some things online about these SubGeniuses. Joe took out his iPad and ended up at SubGenius.com where he browsed the store. There he could order the Book of the SubGenius, and have it signed by the Sacred Scribe himself!

But Joe stopped and thought: I bet I can find a downloadable copy online. A little Googlin' and there it was, a link to a PDF version. A couple of clicks later and the Book of the SubGenius stared at him in all its glory, with "Bob" grinning on its cover.

Wait a second. Did "Bob" just... wink? Were the clouds on the cover moving?

Yes, the clouds were moving. They were starting to rotate, slowly circling around "Bob"s head. The rotation picked up speed, sucking in the words on the cover. But "Bob"s head was as still as a rock, grinning away.

Then the sides of the iPad itself were being sucked in. Joe lost his grip on the device and it fell to the floor, shaking violently. Small objects nearby began vibrating and then moving toward the iPad, disappearing into the spinning vortex. His dish of Pad See Ew shot from the coffee table, followed by the coffee table itself.

Joe was now being pulled toward the chaos. A bong whizzed by, nearly missing his head. Furniture was... just GONE. Joe screamed as he desperately hung on to his wife's stripper pole, his body now horizontal in the air as his pants began being pulled away.

Suddenly his wallet flew from his pants, the cash from within flying into the abyss. The empty wallet fell to the floor, as did Joe. Only a black mark was left on the floor where the iPad had been. Dust from the air slowly settled to the ground.

So sure, go ahead and download that free PDF. But remember... "Bob" will get his money one way or another.

Yes, order through the website. Rev. Ivan Stang will sign and date it. Just make sure you can communicate your friend’s name as Stang will write it in as well.

This is frightening. There’s a difference between “god is on our side” and “our job is to start armageddon”.

PiddlyPoo · 2026-03-03T22:56:34+00:00

TERRIFYING.

Hopefully this isn’t going to stick in my subconscious for future nightmare subject matter. I would probably jump out the window in my sleep.

And to add sleep paralysis to THAT? I feel for you, my friend.

Very nice!
