FSW: Highway Robbery
Not my best work. I’m going to leave it at that. I think it’s a cute-ish setup, and I don’t mind the payoff, but it’s clunky and clumsy and the dialog sucks. Sorry. Blame David for picking this week’s theme of payroll. Michael’s up for next week’s theme. My fingers are crossed that it doesn’t…

FSW: Disney Edition
“Disney” was the theme tossed out by Richard this week in honor of his applying for the Disney-ABC Television Writing Fellowship. Here’s hoping it was just the push he needed to get accepted.His sketch this week brings us the Walt-cicle taking in the Olympics.Dave jumped in last week after getting a reaming from the creator…

FSW: Walt and the Olympics
Today’s the Disney-ABC deadline. My application got in the mail yesterday, but in honor of the day, I suggested that this week’s theme should be Disney. Hope you enjoy. Next week’s theme *should* be up to David, but if he’s not fully back in the battle, it’ll fall to Michael. (A lab. An odd mixture…

Hot Rocks, Cold Bodies
(A morgue. Four bodies are covered with sheets. TONY PRATT, coroner, lifts one of the sheets and speaks into a handheld tape recorder.) TONY…and the renal and liver failure, along with the low sodium concentration in the plasma, makes for a textbook case of Legionnaires’ disease. In younger victims, this would have been very treatable,…

FSW: Procrastination Edition
The third week of our themed entries. And, true to the theme, I waited until the last minute to start working on it. Not that I haven’t been mulling the idea over in my head all week. But still… Next week’s theme is “Disney” for those of you playing along at home. Richard is already…

FSW: Spider
This week’s topic, as chosen by Michael, is procrastination. Oddly enough, I didn’t wait until the last minute to write this. I’m sure you can’t tell based on its quality, however. A couple items of note: There were enough scene changes in here that trying to format as anything but a screenplay was irritating and…

FSW: Cross Dress Edition
Richard tossed this one out last week. And, like him, I’ve waited until the last minute to crank it out. Not to self: Start tossing out ideas earlier in the week. Next week theme: Procrastination. All right. This here’s what we call a “blackout”. A quickie that, hopefully, ends with a laugh. Much like my…

FSW: President Paul
Um, well…so last week I selected the topic of cross dressing for this week’s sketches. Little did I know that it wasn’t an easy theme and I wouldn’t get my first opportunity to work on it until a half-hour ago. Ugh. It’s…okay. I treated it like an improv sketch and once I had the basis,…

FSW: Workaholic Edition
It’s not bad enough that I’ve been trying to cram a little writing in this week, but now I have theme. Sheesh. I don’t work well with guidlines and structure. I’m more or a free range animal.At any rate, Richard thought this might be a fun way to spice things up. He also thinks that…

FSW: Working Through the Pain
We’ve decided that writing a sketch a week, often a few hours before it’s due, isn’t nearly challenging enough. From now on, we’re going to write on set topics or themes. Michael’s picked this week’s theme: workaholics. I’ll go ahead and pick next week’s theme right now…cross dressing. (TheWife and I are going to see…
