Comic Transcripts

– …so I’m feeling around down there, and he’s claiming there’s a lump that he detected during a self-exam, but I can’t feel a thing. And so I’m thinking, you know, with all the emphasis that we place on early detection, there must be a certain level of paranoia…

– So, as gently as I can think to say it, I say: “When you say you felt a lump… Was it the testicle itself you were feeling?”
– AH HAH HA HA HA HA HA!

– So there was never any lump?
– Actually, it turned out he did have ball cancer.

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.
