Pirates Wrapup
I’ve been lax the last few weeks in wrapping up the battles. But this week I was Shanghaied and conscripted to service aboard the ‘Bountiful Booty’. It’s write this wrapup or scrape the barnacles off Captain Jack’s peg leg. Coyote recruited the dumbest kid ever to be a pirate, of a sort… Lynn sang a…

Interviews That Never Aired Wrapup
With cable, satellite, and millions of websites streaming content, 24/7/52/7/7 ((That’s 24 hours in a day, by seven days in a week, by 52 weeks in a year, by seven years between sabbaticals, by seven sabbatical cycles in a jubilee. I mean, we’ve got a LOT of content.)) straight into our brains ((The aluminum foil…

Mother’s Day Wrapup
With a topic as rich and pregnant with possibilities as this, I’d hoped the warriors would have come from far and wide to toss their humor grenades into the ring. Then I remembered not *every* comedy writer has a Jewish mother. While being chosen isn’t a requirement for being funny ((Richard Pryor: non-Jew.)) and is…

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…

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 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…

Silent Scene Wrapup
Sorry. That’s all I’ve got to say about this past week’s topic. We tried, I swear. EL led off with angry mobs and post-apocalyptic potato warfare… RA followed with a series of pranks. If she teases you, she must like you… EL shot back with a muffin… David went for a drive. Fast. Really fast.…

CSI: Anywhere Wrapup
Damn Horatio Caine and his concern about cataracts! Depending on how you want to count Ken’s brilliant four-part runner, this was either a banner week for us with eight sketches, or an average week with five. I think for voting and wrapup purposes we’ll call it five. So what did the sketch warriors bring to…

March Madness Wrapup
Whoops! Not only did this week’s topic bring us our fewest sketches in several weeks, but…um…this was not our best week. And that’s, o-kay. There were a few chuckles though, so let’s get to them. RA led off with Bill Raftery and come crazy mascots. If you know college basketball, you know that’s all he…

SNL Character Wrapup
I hope you all enjoyed following along this week as much as we enjoyed bringing these characters to life. In some ways, this was a really tough prompt, but I think everyone managed to bring their A game this week. Nine sketches (thanks to a double bonus from Ken whose initial trepidation hid a torrent…
