[[A fox reads from a letter, written by a goat, addressed to Herb, a tree.]]
Goat: My dear Herb, I had a lovely time at the picnic. Thanks for the invite!

Goat: I’m sorry to hear about the root-rot but I’m sure you’ll get through it fine.

Goat: Fox, if you’re reading Herb’s mail, you are scum, and I pray every day for your speedy, painful demise.

Goat: P.S. I hate you.

Fox: Dude, you got ROOT ROT?! HA HA HA HA HA!
Herb: THAT IS PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

May 8, 2026 by David Malki !

Last year, I participated in Genius Northwest, a gaming competition inspired by the Korean gameshow The Genius and its ilk.

It’s a reality show without the cameras — a 3-day, all-inclusive weekend retreat structured around a series of challenges and puzzles, in which personalities and dealmaking matter as much as playing games.

It’s truly a remarkable thing. I came in dead last in the competition, but I still had a great time participating.

The event is held annually in the Pacific Northwest (hence the name) and applications are now open to participate in the 2026 competition!

Learn more — and apply — at GeniusNW.com.
