EARL: Honey, how many tablespoons are in a liter?
CARLA (offpanel): Oh, baby, you’re cooking? Sweetie, you’ll be at this all week. Let me see your recipe.

EARL (offpanel): No. I don’t want you to do it for me. I want to figure it out for myself.
CARLA (to herself): His pans aren’t greased…there’s forks in the microwave…the milk jug is in the oven…

CARLA: Do you at least want some TIPS that might make it go smoother for you?
EARL: No. I just want to know how many tablespoons are in a liter.
CARLA: It’s sixty-seven.
EARL: Thank you.

CAPTION: One week later
CARLA: Oh, honey, these muffins are delicious!
I guess all it takes to really break the mold is an outsider’s perspective! What’s your secret?
EARL: I soaked them in lime juice overnight, then deep-fried them in mayonnaise!
Then I went to the store.

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.
