Comic Transcripts

VINNY: Haw, look at that NERD! Bet he’s never seen a naked woman before!
CLAUDIO: Go back to your mom’s basement, dorkasaurus!

SHELDON: Now hold on just a minute!

SHELDON: Are we still doing this? Seriously? This stereotype is still clinging to life? First, the “nerds are all frustrated virgins” thing. Some of the nerdiest people I know are highly sexual women. And millions of nerds have spouses twice as nerdy as they are. And the mom’s basement thing? The nerds I know live in geodesic domes or multi-story treehouses or, at the very least, condos with garages big enough to hold their trebuchets.

SHELDON: As as for being socially maladjusted – well, guilty. But doesn’t everyone have some sort of neurosis? Better a little shy than, say, obsessed with celebrity, or addicted to drugs, or running around MURDERING PEOPLE WITH AXES. Really, you talk about socially awkward virgins living in their moms’ basements – you’re talking about SERIAL KILLERS.

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.
