  • FSW: Someone New Enters the Battle!

    Wow. Someone (not the two people I was actually targeting, but someone) felt called out this week and decided to send in a sketch. It’s her first shot at sketch comedy, but I thought it was pretty decent. She’s homepageless at the moment, so I’m going to paste it below. Everyone, please give a warm…

  • Friday Night Sketch War: Round Seven

    After last week’s two-man wrecking crew, this week we’re back to three combatants. Still, there were some lingering personal, health, and weather issues keeping the warriors from fighting at peak form. See for yourselves as… Coyote rouses the team to fight, fight, fight… David tells it like it is… Michael shows us it really is…

  • FSW: The Pep Talk

    I’d like to pre-apologize for this sketch. My week so far: dirty, nasty unclean hands of a salad chef (I believe that was the source) gave me salmonella on Tuesday I tried desperately to give it back, all of it back, on Wednesday (and today) Got to work at 4am this morning so I could…

  • FSW: Red’s Welcome

    Apologies for being late with this one; it had to go through a little more processing than usual. It’s not as funny as some weeks, but it wasn’t written with that solely in mind. I hope you all enjoy. David’s had his up since yesterday here. It’s very funny, especially if you know someone like…

  • Friday Sketch War: Round Five

    Our hearty meals digested, our concubines put aside, we stepped up to the dohyō. Again, three of us had come to the ceremonial ground to battle for supremacy. The yobidashi brush the sand smooth where we had sat as we step up to the shikiri-sen. Coyote is terrifying in his non-traditional hemp mawashi. He strikes…

  • FSW: Fight the Patriarchy

    I’m firing off an early attack in an attempt to draw First Blood. Or maybe to draw Rambo: First Blood Part 2. Should any new grapplers feel up to entering the Sumo ring of sketch war, please email a link to your submission (or its full text if you are homepageless) to sketchwar_at_dreamloom_dot_com. Fight the…

  • Friday Sketch War: Round Four

    The armies assembled on their respective sides of the battlefield the evening before committing their forces to the attack. Unbeknownst to everyone, Michael stealthily climbed atop a tor a thousand yards distant from the battlefield. Selecting an arrow from his quiver, he pulled his bow taut and let it loose… Hearing the arrow whistling through…

  • FSW: 2008 NFL Combine

Mel, what are your thoughts on the first three days of competition? MELScott, this has been a great combine. It’s been an especially strong year…

  • Friday Night Sketch War: Round Three

    On the killing floor, before the assembled masses the gladiators prepare for battle… David strikes first, swinging his mace with deadly accuracy… Stunned, Michael throws his daggers at his opponents… Bloodied, broken, from hell’s heart Coyote spits at thee Will no one join our bloody conflict? Are your livers lillied and aspects yellow? Until next…
