SERGEI: Are you ENJOYING that sandwich, boy? Consider THIS!
That sandwich will traverse about 20 feet of intestines over the next few hours!

SERGEI: That means it’s MOVING! All afternoon, while you walk, talk, and play games, a WET GLOB OF SANDWICH will be crawling through your guts!
PETEY: I GUESS, but traveling 20 feet over an afternoon is HARDLY notable.
That’s like .0001 miles per hour or something.

SERGEI: Ah, but speed is RELATIVE! It depends on the OBSERVER!
It may be .0001 miles per hour to YOU, but to ME, watching you jog by, your sandwich is traveling at 6.0001 miles per hour!
PETEY: WHO in the WORLD is going to be OBSERVING my DIGESTION?

CAPTION: EARLIER

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.
