  • 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: 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: 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: 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: Radio Show Edition

    Another Friday and another sketch that I’m pulling out of my filing cabinet. Being tech week for Metaluna, I just haven’t had a free moment to write, let alone think of anything other than my lines for the show.Richard’s all new this week, though, and not messing around. People have gotten hurt.Dave’s been AWOL for…

  • FSW: Reaction Edition

    The gauntlet was thrown down and I tripped over it, but never picked it up. It’s been a long week and I thought I was being good by getting this sketch written the other day. I just couldn’t shift gears to the 4th mode fast enough. Maybe next week. However, if you want to read…

  • FSW: The Loan’s the Thing Edition

    Hey, hey! It’s still daylight out and I’m posting my sketch! Huzzah.Richard is already in the mix and should probably watch out for stray bolts of lightening this weekend.No word from Dave yet, but keep your eyes peeled because he could strike at any moment.Here’s my attempt to get back into the swing of things.…

  • FSW: Short & Sweet Edition

    Dave was out of the gate early today rewriting classic movies. Richard is up and at ’em having some trouble with the law. I’m still on Pacific time, which is why mine seems late, but really isn’t.  It’s also why mine doesn’t seem funny, but really is. (Paul sits in a kayak, bobbing in the…

  • FSW: Man Down Edition

    The day got away from me. End of the month is always hectic at work. Add in a little rehearsal, a lot of wedding stuff and you’ve got yourself a Sketch War without the “war”. Richard, The Universal Soldier, comes through as always with a topical sketch about the sleeper cell that is Rachel Ray.…

  • Sketch War Salute

    We don’t have 21 guns or anything fancy like that. Just heaps of respect for a fine sketch comedy actor who has left us. Harvey Korman passed away last night. Probably best known for his stint on the Carol Burnett Show and his role as Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles. I think part of the…
