[[Two friends are walking and meet a third friend.]]
Friend 3: Hey, happy birthday!
Friend 1: Thanks!

Friend 2: Wait. It’s your birthday today?
Friend 1: It is! I’m forty-one!
Friend 2: It’s MY birthday today! I’M ALSO forty-one!
Friend 1: WHAAAAT

Friend 2: That’s crazy! We’ve known each other for months and never realized we had the same birthday!
Friend 2: Does this make us closer friends, now? Are we bonded in some sort of pact? Are we bound together on a deep level we can’t control, like shared witnesses to some terrible crime?

Friend 1: I suppose we are, if the crime is ‘our respective parents may have been having sex simultaneously’
Friend 2: Yeah, I think forty-one years ago that was a felony in most states

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.
