[[GLARY stands facing away from an elephant named DARVEY whose bones had previously fallen out and who was attempting to stretch their skin over a mammoth skeleton.]]

GLARY: How’s it going in there?
DARVEY: It’s…well, it’s not the best fit…
GLARY: Is it gonna work, do you think?
DARVEY: It won’t be pretty.

GLARY: I bet it’ll be beautiful. You’re gonna be hotter than hot. You’ll be on fleek. You’re gonna be…BAE.
DARVEY: Please don’t use such words in this delicate time
GLARY: You’re gonna be…SHAWTY? You’re gonna be… I’m running out of terms. You’re gonna be fly. I bet you look DA BOMB DIGGITY.

DARVEY: All right. I’m coming out. Please be gentle. It took a lot of work to get it to look THIS good.
GLARY: Listen, J.D. You’ll always be MY hot slice no matter WHAT it looks like.
GLARY: My gray goat. My good gravy. My bony Broheim. My super-duper Mario Mansion. My Netflix and chillax.

DARVEY: SO…This is what it looks like when you put a fossilized mammoth skeleton into an elephant body whose bones all fell out previously.

[[Final panel reveals the DARVEY in all his horrible, decayed glory. The skeleton appears to be too large for the elephant skin, and is busting out in certain places like the ribcage and the knees. Likewise the tusks have come out of the face in a distressing and unnatural manner. GLARY, however, has placed both hands over his heart in swooning admiration, crying out.]]

GLARY: …CHECK OUT MY THICC ELEPHANT!!
DARVEY: Y-you really think so?!

Applications open for Genius Northwest – an IRL gaming competition

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!
