Comic Transcripts

Are you going to be home for dinner?
No, I’m meeting Sean at 4:30, we’re gonna grab dinner and then —
4:30?

Ha ha ha! You old biddies gonna grab the early bird special and gossip about your favorite soaps? Maybe swap cornbread recipes or complain about your hip dysplasia?
You’ll be just adorable in your bulky sweaters, your haloes of bluish hair just bare visible over the back of the booth!
What I am saying is that only old ladies go to dinner at 4:30.

…We’re gonna grab dinner and then, before it gets too late, go visit his great-aunt who’s been in the hospital.

You wanna backtrack in this conversation a little, or…?
Nah, I’ll play it where it lies.

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.
