Comic Transcripts

[[A gentleman in riding togs holds a large metal can at arm’s length]]
Gentleman: Hey, turns out it was just some shaving cream!

[[The scene pans out showing the same gentleman, background, while in the foreground a shadowy figure looks at him with surprise and, possibly, alarm.]]
Gentleman: I left the lid off. Stupid dog just had to stick his nose in it.

[[The scene pans out further, revealing the blurry figure to be a Professional Dispatcher of Dogs holding a pistol. The pistol has been fired, evidently, for at his feet lies a very dead dog.]]
Gentleman: So, ah, probably…
Probably not rabies after all.

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.
