Doctor: Well, Tommy, your test results are in.
Tommy: Give it to me straight, doc.

Doctor: I showed your charts to a radiologist, an oncologist, and my kid sister, who once got a B+ in geography.
Tommy: How thorough of you.

Doctor: Everyone agrees that you have no sign of any tumor whatsoever. You seen to have zero symptoms. Again.

Doctor: And frankly, I’m not sure why you keep scheduling these exams.
Tommy: I like to be touched.

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.
