JOHN HAPPYPANTS: I brought you here because we share a common problem. It’s hard to find steak rare enough for our tastes!
LUCKY MARGE: I don’t want my beef cooked so much as run through a warm room.

CHEF HORACE [[standing next to a cow, knife in hand]]: Sir? I can take your order whenever you’re ready.
JOHN HAPPYPANTS: I have a good feeling about this place.
EFFIE: It is kind of expensive, though…
MAURICE [[ready with half a cow sticking out of a wagon]]: We also have a day-old menu.

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.
