[[MR. GRAMBLY leaves HOBART and STU’s shop with a heavily-laden cart.]]
MR. GRAMBLY: Thanks, fellas, see you on Wednesday!
HOBART: Take it easy, Mr. Grambly.
STU: Why does that guy always buy so much sausage? He must have a hundred pounds of franks on that cart! And last week he got twice as much!

HOBART: Mr. Grambly’s sort of a force of nature around here. Nobody knows what he does with the meat. But he’s been carting it off for years. Some folks say he humps it. Other folks say he’s feeding it to a monster that he then humps. Personally, I think he buys it to remind himself of his own crippling mortality. We all need our reminders.
STU: If I wanted to throw in with a theory I think I’d head to Humpville all the way.
MR. GRAMBLY: Guys I’m still here
MR. GRAMBLY: cart’s kinda heavy

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.
