CLIVE: How’s WORKING FROM HOME treating you?
LUCINDA: Great! Except for this GUY who keeps coming into my office and POOPING in the corner of the room.
Onto this, like, MOUND OF SAND set up for JUST THAT PURPOSE!
CLIVE: POOPING–Oh, the CAT! Ha ha ha!

CLIVE: I used to have a co-worker like that! She was cute, but eventually I had to LOCK HER IN THE BATHROOM to stop her from trying to LICK MY FACE all the time!
LUCINDA: The guy in MY office is real “touchy” too.
VERY affectionate, TOTALLY inappropriate for the workplace. He always wants to SIT ON MY LAP while I WORK! I should really file a FORMAL COMPLAINT with H.R.!

REG: I can’t compete with you folks! Weirdest thing that ever happened to me down at the factory was a guy ratted me out for pocketing misformed O-rings off the line an’ takin’ ’em home for “ILLICIT PURPOSES.”
But he got HIS! Four and a half hours o’ NIGHT-VISION VIDEO of him stayin’ after hours an’ HUMPIN’ the welding robots!

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.
