Comic Transcripts

[[ A man is speaking to a woman unsuccessfully trying to wrap a present. ]]
Man: Ooh, check this out. Forty-day cruise from Hawaii to Australia, with stops at all the major South Pacific islands. Doesn’t that sound neat?
Woman: Yeah rrrgh

Woman: Rrahhhh GRAAHHH!!!

Woman: The first thing I’m doing when I’m a millionaire is buying a hundred rolls of the best packing tape ever invented.
Woman: I’m talking NASA-grade stuff that spools off the roll like butter, sticks to absolutely anything, and is stronger than God’s own glue.

[[ The first woman is now speaking to a second woman ]]

First Woman: That was the day I came to realize that all my fondest daydreams now revolve around office supplies.

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.
