TEXT: Mr. Meanscary looks like a puppy butt
MR. MEANSCARY: Not by CHOICE! It’s GENETIC!

TEXT: His innocent appearance is for gobbling children up
MR. MEANSCARY: Aw, THIS old rumor again? I was never even THERE when that kid got eaten!
I was in PENSACOLA!

TEXT: He lured a baby off a cliff and waited open-mouthed for it
He ate a pair of twins and threw their bones into a tiger pit
MR. MEANSCARY: I NEVER did! It’s a vicious LIE being spread by my bitter ex-wife!
I can’t afford a TIGER PIT! I can’t afford ANY kind of pit!

TEXT: So stay close to your parents, lads and lasses, and obey;
Or Mr. M may add you to his menu for today.
MR. MEANSCARY: This is going to make it VERY hard to volunteer for the Kiwanis Club.

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.
