Comic Transcripts

[[On a town street. MIRGANAN and DOCKBURT ELLBOUGH stand looking at each other.]]

MIRGANAN: I say! Aren’t you the famous film actor Macky Ellbough? I loved you in those commercials for some food or other!

DOCKBURT: ‘Fraid not, old chap. I’m Dockburt Ellbough, Macky’s twin brother, stunt double, camera stand-in, fight coordinator, acting teacher, AND manners coach.

DOCKBURT: I cook his meals, choose AND tailor his shirts, advise him on investments, read scripts he’s been sent, negotiate his contracts, notarize his signatures, and feed his cats when he’s away.
DOCKBURT: I’m his butler, driver, manager, and agent. I screen his calls, take his dictation, and answer his fan mail.

DOCKBURT: I’m his personal attorney, his chiropractor, his emergency contact, and holder of his medical advance directive.
DOCKBURT: I break in his sneakers, pre-warm his bedclothes and eat all his leftovers.

DOCKBURT: I model for his clothing line, voice his animated TV roles, and, should the need ever arise, will gladly be a guinea pig for any type of experimental surgery.
DOCKBURT: So NO, I’m not him, but I’d be happy to answer any questions, sign an autograph in his handwriting, or take a selfie with you!

MIRGANAN: Nah, that’s okay, I’d hoped you were Macky. You really DO like EXACTLY like him.

DOCKBURT: Well, naturally… I wouldn’t be a very good NUDE SCENE BUTT DOUBLE if I didn’t!

I mean, you seem nice and all, but I was hoping to meet the real STAR, y'know?

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

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.
