Comic Transcripts

Woman: So! When are you and Amanda gonna give me some grandkids?
Man: I’d love to! Just tell me how!

Woman: What do you mean, “how”?
Man: I mean how! Nobody ever told me what you DO to get grandkids! Do I fill out a form? Stand in a line? Visit some kind of farm? What?

Woman: You’re teasing! Ask Amanda. SHE’LL help you figure it out.
Man: She’s as confused as I am! Listen, I want to help you out! But I don’t know what to do. How does it HAPPEN? How do we MAKE the grandkids? You’re gonna have to give us real clear step by step instructions.

Young woman: She still annoying you about grandkids?
Man: I’d characterize it as a stalemate.

{{alt-text: the good news is that I was able to render her speechless. the bad news is that it was by explaining how the both of us are incomprehensibly idiotic}}

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.
