Masked Man: STOP THERE, CITIZEN!
Masked Man: You’re eating that sandwich UPSIDE DOWN!

Man with Sandwich: How do you eat a sandwich upside down
Masked Man: You were biting it with the mustard side down. When your tongue hits that mustard, it’ll overpower every other flavor! You need to bite mustard side UP — so your tongue FIRST goes through the lettuce, meat, and cheese! In ASCENDING ORDER OF FLAVOR POWER! That way, you experience a more BALANCED PALATE.

Man with Sandwich: How do you know which side my mustard is on? I made this sandwich at home this morning
Masked Man: I know! I was watching you from a tree!

[[The masked man arrives at his home]]
Masked Man’s Wife: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN it is almost MIDNIGHT and I needed you to do LAUNDRY today
Masked Man: I HAVE BEEN OUT THERE MAKING THE WORLD BETTER

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.
