Comic Transcripts

(SFX: HOONNNNKK)

PEMBURTON: Good Lord

[[A man in bed, GRONDUS, tosses his tissue into Pemburton’s hat.]]

PEMBURTON: Are you all right in here?
GRONDUS: GOO! It’s the GOO! There’s SO much goo.

GRONDUS: The problem IS the goo. Honestly, I don’t like it.
GRONDUS: And whenever I blow it out, MORE goo arrives shortly after. Like it’s on a rigorous GOO TIMETABLE.

PEMBURTON: It’s a goo train.
GRONDUS: WHY is there a goo train! I don’t LIKE the goo train! I don’t WANT a goo train!
GRONDUS: DOWN WITH GOO TRAIN! Get this goo train OUT of here! BLOCK the tracks! SHUT DOWN the station!

PEMBURTON: You’re a goo train NIMBY.
GRONDUS: I’m a goo train NIM-SINUSES

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.
