Leader: I want to see some outside-the-box ideas here, okay? Target: Western devils. Brainstorm. Mahmoud: Go.

Mahmoud: We could, like, ram the space shuttle with a blimp.
Leader: (off) Not bad, but bigger.
Mahmoud: Bigger. Um. Two blimps. Three.
Excited Terrorist: (off) No, no, NO! C’mon, you guys! You’re not seeing the big picture!

Excited Terrorist: It’s not about how many dozens of imperialists we can kill… It’s about how many millions we can inconvenience at airports for decades to come.

Excited Terrorist: Now stay with me here guys. What’s the dumbest bomb ingredients you can think of?
Bearded Guy: Uh… Hair gel and an iPod.
Excited Terrorist: You laughed at the shoe thing too, remember?

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.
