  • Friday Night Sketch War

    The stage was set, the battle begun… Notnits fires a sniper rifle from 1500 yards… Michael sets the targeting coordinates on his mortar launcher… Coyote Squirrel lays a series of trip mines This week, three entered the fray. Last week’s border skirmish has now turned into full-scale combat. How many will do battle next week?

  • FNSW: 62nd Annual Moriarty Awards

    (Dancers finish up what must have been a large and elaborate number as lights dim, music stops, and applause is heard. A curtain closes and Billy Crystal walks to the center of the stage.) BILLYWasn’t that great? I’ve been informed that no animals were killed during the performance of that dance, but two senator’s daughters…

  • Friday Sketch War

    I wrote a sketch and posted it. Richard did the same and challenged me to a Sketch War. This will, hopefully, be an ongoing exercise, which you are free to join us in. Simply write a sketch and post it on your blog every Friday. Be sure to let me or Richard know about it…

  • Not Joking Around

    Seriously, Sketch War ’08 has begun. If you wanna be part of the surge then post a sketch this Friday. Then send a link to sketchwar (at) dreamloom (dot) com. Richard and I will post links and everyone can attack everyone else. Okay, maybe not attack. But “offer encouragement and support” just doesn’t sound bad-ass…

He’s challenging himself to be more disciplined about writing, and figured writing an occasional short sketch will keep his comedy muscles limber. I agree. As I’ve been extremely lax writing lately, I thought I’d take the opportunity to…

  • Friday Funnys: Sketch Edition

    I’ve been trying to exhibit a little more discipline with my writing. So, to keep the muscles churning and to take a break between more serious projects, I try to write a sketch or two. Here’s an example. Bad Credit Baby (Tom and Debbie enter their house. Immediately Dan and Dawn and Ben and Betty…

  • New TV Show

    I know that as soon as the writer’s strike ends producers are going to be trying to fill their schedules with the next Grey’s Anatomy or BJ and the Bear. I’d like to offer my services to them by sharing this preview of a new medical drama I’m writing. I think it has a lot…
