Okay, first off I’m late. This was supposed to happen on Monday…I’m under some deadlines, but I had this stuck in my head, and in odd moments, I pounded it out.
I want to point out…while this is exaggerated SOME – it is largely based on the experience Trish and I had when our home in Hertford, NC was robbed several years back. The names have been (mostly) changed to protect … well … someone.
It’s a linguistic nightmare… (and forgive me if I went a little overboard – being a huge CSI geek, I was like a kid in a candy store)

INT. HALLWAY OUTSIDE COLLEGE CLASSROOM – NIGHT
Flashlights light up the pitch-black hallway outside a college classroom. CSI HILARIO HECKERT, a middle-aged, stocky geek, and CSI HOLLY OAKS, a middle-aged cougar in stilettos, walk toward the classroom with their flashlights. CAPTAIN MIKE COPPER stands outside the barricaded classroom door.

Just as last week’s topic was a bit of foreign territory for some of the warriors, this week’s topic is a mystery to me. The sum of my knowledge of the CSI family of shows comes from the “Endless Caruso One Liners” video. However, far be it from me to fake what I don’t know.
With this topic, I figured the key was location, location, location. Hope you enjoy.

EXT. ESTABLISHING URBAN BROWNSTONE – DAY
A prewar neighborhood in slight disrepair, but holding it together. Police cars on the street. Sidewalks barricaded.

Here’s my commentary for the latest round of Sketchwar, which had the theme “March Madness.” (Only five sketches this week, so this gives me a bit of a breather, commentary-wise.)
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.
Next week’s topic is CSI: Anywhere. Expect a lot of sunglasses and oneliners. And don’t forget to vote on your favorite sketch from this week.

I’m always forget something…and since I was late, I forgot to add the MORE note … hogging the whole front page. Sorry about that! Here’s my take on the folks back home when March Madness brings glory to the local boys…
It’s been a crazy week. Moving. Laptop died. No cable. Excuse, excuse excuse. Tack on that I know nothing about basketball or this supposed March Madness of which everyone is speaking.
So I give you…
E.L. Raica comes to us this week with a tale of great athletes and the sacrifices they make. You’ve never seen young men leave it all on the court like this, I guarantee that.

INT. GRADE SCHOOL GYMNASIUM – AFTERNOON
PLAYERS, PARENTS, COACHES, REFEREES, and CAMERA CREWS crowd together in a small, grade school gymnasium during a third grade basketball game. About a dozen third grade boys are milling around the gym floor waiting for play to commence. Announcers, BOB and JIM, sit at a table on the side calling the game.

Ugh. I picked this week’s topic and could NOT be more irritated with myself. March Madness is a time of rejoicing over upsets and crying over busted brackets, not trying to put write sketch comedy! I’m a maroon. Oh well. This one’s…well…not very funny, but it’ll do I guess. Y’all be the judges.
