Comic Transcripts

– …finally he says, “Your hair is like spun gold – and your eyes, like magnificent pools of sapphire sunlight.” I didn’t know what to say.

– And so I just sit there, and he’s all “I feel coarse and unworthy in your presence, so I’ll just go.” This after HOURS of furtive glances: He turns and leaves.

-The tragic, unrequited love of a poet.

– Yeah, totally creepy. So I chased him outside, and just as his eyes lit with hope, I kicked him in the nads in the parking lot.
– Good girl!

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.
