Comic Transcripts

[[STAN and PHIL ride their horses through an unnamed city.]]
STAN: There you are! I’ve been waiting an hour!
PHIL: Sorry
PHIL: You know, I think falling back into a warm bed after briefly getting up is probably life’s single greatest visceral pleasure.

PHIL: Don’t get me wrong. Kissing a sweetheart, holding a baby, saving a dog from a rushing river…these are all nice ways to spend a lazy afternoon.
PHIL: But for a pure, all-natural rush of just absolute basic satisfaction…nothing can match the bed.

PHIL: It’s a joy both immediate and fleeting. You stay in bed too long, you get a headache. It’s just that first moment, when your body slides back into the covers – MAN!
PHIL: I’m telling you. It’s better than winning an ice cream Nobel Prize. Better than a runner’s high brought on by hugging your mom. It’s better than everything.

STAN: Better than having breakfast with your very close and personal friend, as the two of you had planned weeks ago?
PHIL: Well I think history can answer that question

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.
