[[A woman complains loudly.]]
Woman: Oh, Howard is just the worst! I should never have kissed him!

[[Her friend enters the scene.]]
Woman: All he does is sit around all day and stare at bugs. At bugs! And he belches! Over and over and over!

[[She continues to complain.]]
Woman: He promised he would sweep me off my feet. But here I am, still on my feet, waiting for him to jump off that LOG and find a job or something!

[[She continues.]]
Friend: It seems he was a frog too long.
Woman: I don’t even know where his principality IS!

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.
