SKIPPY: HEY.
Hey check it out.
SEAMUS: No.
I do not trust your taste in “things deserving of note.”

SKIPPY: But this is GREAT.
This is AWESOME.
SEAMUS: I fear our relative bars for greatness rest at wildly different heights.

[[SKIPPY now stands on his head while juggling the barrel with his feet.]]
SKIPPY: Man I’m goin’ NUTS over here. I’m talking WORLD-CLASS PERFORMANCE.
SEAMUS: Your assessment smacks of BIAS.
Thus undermining your credibility further.

[[Another boy has now vaulted atop the barrel.]]
SKIPPY: WOWZERS. By not turning your neck six inches you are missing something REMARKABLE.
SEAMUS: I highly doubt you are reading Umberto Eco.

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.
