Odd Sporting Events Wrapup
Not our best week ((I feel I’ve been saying that a lot lately.)) but I think the three sketches we’ve got this week are solid and funny. DNW led off with Wile and his bestest buddy, Road Runner, paired up in an unusual competition… Coyote followed up with the sports report of the future… Lynn…

El Ocho Es Muy Caliente!
[fountain] INT. TV STUDIO – DAY MEGAN THUNDER (20s, in miniskirt and halter top) and NICK STEELE (20s, in lycra shorts and Ed Hardy t-shirt) stand before a bank of monitors showing a variety of sports. NICK Yo, yo, yo! This. Is. The Ocho Report! Obnoxious flying graphics scored with too-loud music identify this as…

Radio Serials Wrapup
Oops! Very late, sorry. I’ve had my nose buried in “Anathem” for the past few days, every moment I’m not working or sleeping, so I kinda let this slip. A bit. Again, sorry. Anyway… DNW went searching googling back to the future, or forward to the past, or something like that… Coyote, well, he wrote…

The Silver Stoat
Oy. Out of the last three weeks, I’ve had big problems with two of our topics. I certainly hope things get better soon. This one…well, I think I’ve got the feel almost right, but other than a few chuckles spread throughout, I don’t think I really brought the funny. Y’all be the judges. [fountain] INT.…

The Taxman Cometh Wrapup
It looks like a few of our warriors got caught up having tea or standing in line at the Post Office this week. Either way, only three of us entered the ring. Fortunately (or un-, depending on your opinion) I stretched my entry into a four-part runner when I decided I hadn’t ended the first…

Magical Audits III
INT. IRS OFFICE – DAY Clark sits opposite a sultry, voluptuous cougar decked out in a skimpy red top with faux fur trim. COUGAR (sings) My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they’re like it’s better than yours. Damn right it’s better than yours, I can teach you but I have to…

Magical Audits II
Ken, and my weak ending on Part 1, inspired me to turn this into a runner. We’ll see how this goes. INT. IRS OFFICE – DAY Clark sits, fingers bridged and at full attention. We can’t see whom he’s listening to. CITIZEN (O.S.) ...and that’s why I was late filing in Oh-three. Now in Oh-four--…

Magical Audits
I think I started pretty strong, built nicely to a really cool visual, and then petered out. Oh well. Enjoy the laughs it provides and dream of a better ending. [fountain] INT. IRS OFFICE – DAY CLARK FRENELL (40s, gray suit, his picture is next to “ectomorph” in the dictionary) stands a respectful distance behind…

I don’t like improv.
There. I’ve said it. Feels good to get that off my chest after all these years. All these years of pretending to be a fan, of making excuses for why I can’t make someone’s improv show, of feigning interest in watching people exercise. Look, I’ve done my share of improv. It’s important to any actor…
