[[A man is holding a baby and is talking to a woman, who asks]]
Hey, did you ever get that fix-it ticket dealth with? The burnt-out brake light?
[[In rapid succession, he thinks to himself:]]
Oh crap I forgot about that. Is it due? When is it due?

Where is the ticket itself? Did I lose the ticket?

No! I put it in my notebook so I wouldn’t lose it!
But… where is my notebook? I haven’t seen it in a few days…

Wait… did I leave it on the plane? In the seat-back pocket?
I did! I think I did! Oh no!

My notebook is gone! Did I have anything personal in there? Should I call the airline?
And the fix-it ticket! Will I be in trouble if I’ve lost the actual ticket?

Wait. No. My notebook is right there on the nightstand.
The ticket is due next week. Everything is fine.

[[Returning to reality, he replies to the woman:]]
Don’t worry! It’s totally under control!
[[She replies:]]
You just dropped the baby

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.
