JACK: And on one billboard we’ll show all the princesses with the tagline ‘Girls Gone Medieval’!
MR. THROCKMORTON: HA HA HA

VINCE: I don’t know, it seems to me that any pun or permutation of the ‘Girls Gone Wild’ concept would just be inherently in poor taste, especially at marketing directed at children. Also, it sends the tacit message that ‘Girls Gone Wild’ is a normal and acceptable part of our culture – when in fact it’s seedy trash that thrives on the most crass and debased elements of human nature.
VINCE: Besides, c’mon guys – we can come up with something funnier.

MR. THROCKMORTON: Interesting perspective. Jack?
JACK: It’s ‘edgy’.
MR. THROCKMORTON: SOLD

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.
