LUXEMBOURG: Hey, America. How’s it going, buddy.
Feeling any better?
AMERICA: Oh, hey, Luxembourg.
Nah, being broke all of a sudden has still got me all MOPEY.

LUXEMBOURG: How’d that whole AFGHANISTAN PRANK play out? Man, I wish I coulda seen your face!
AMERICA: AFGHANISTAN prank?
LUXEMBOURG: You know. The RUSSIA thing.
AMERICA: RUSSIA? Russia broke up with Afghanistan, like, TWENTY YEARS ago.

LUXEMBOURG: Oh…Oh, geez. Wait.
Nobody…nobody TOLD you?
AMERICA: Told me WHAT?!
LUXEMBOURG: Remember how, when Russia was crashing at Afghanistan’s place, YOU funneled weapons to the Mujahideen to drive him out?
Big hilarious frat prank?
Well, dude…RUSSIA’S been doing that back to YOU for like FIVE YEARS now.

LUXEMBOURG: Sorry, man. We all thought you knew.
SPAIN was supposed to tell you.
SPAIN: THIS will teach you to never return my calls!

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.
