[[UNCLE BOB is decorating a Christmas tree and singing.]]
UNCLE BOB: Good King Wenceslas looked out
On the Feast of Stephen
GRACE: …stuck a feather in his cap and called it MACARONI!

UNCLE BOB: Stick that noise somewhere else. I’m singing WENCESLAS.
GRACE: But it’s the same tune! Just like TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR is the same as the ALPHABET SONG!

UNCLE BOB: What? NO it’s not! It’s TOTALLY…
Wait
(Sings) Twinkle, twinkle…

GEORGE: When I LEFT, Uncle Bob was decorating the tree. When I came BACK, he was huddled in a ball mumbling “What else don’t I know, what else don’t I know.”
GRACE: Holidays make everyone crazy.

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.
