Guy Has Another Viking Daydream in Tuesday Meeting

The Tuesday meeting, a 2-hour monument to corporate inefficiency, was instituted as a means of letting all team members share their weekly accomplishments, but typically degrades into a bickering match about which Oracle database version is more stable.

Earl, a software engineer, uses the time to live out his alter ego, Redbeard the Punisher. While his co-workers get high from dry-erase markers, Earl drifts backwards in time. He trades his pocket protector for a pointed helm and his perm for long braids of unkempt red hair. While the other engineers sip their Select Cola, Earl tears the flesh off of a lamb flank he just pulled from the bonfire.

Towards the midpoint of the meeting, the group was poring over hastily scribbled diagrams which resembled nothing; meanwhile, Burkiss was lopping off the heads of frightened villagers and seeking the fairest maidens for the return voyage to Norway.
