Url shows Earl what he's been doing for many months: building his masterpiece.

Earl: Dwight, how did you know about this place?

Earl: You plug it in. I'm not doing it.
Url: No, you do it.
Earl: No you.
Url: Don't be afraid, it's not a mountain ram.
Earl: Ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!

2009-08-06T16:18:00.000-04:00

Last night, while working his shift at the pre-packaged air warehouse, Dwight decided it would be helpful to install a trap for would-be saboteurs.

He worked diligently most of the night until he got a little punch-drunk from the fatigue and lack of sleep.

He found Url's helmet, put it on and eventually curled up in a corner to take a nap. He figured the warehouse was safe with the new security trap installed.

Late that night Dwight heard the trap go into action and went to check it out. It was URL in the trap! Apparently Url realized that he'd left his helmet behind - he needed it for a late night rendezvous.

Dwight found the whole situation so hilarious that he called Earl.

They both laughed so hard that they rolled around on the floor - all the while Url was steaming mad!

This morning a new company policy came out:

Any employee caught creating slinky traps will be publicly flogged.

Solution: Have Earl jump off a stack of books onto the stapler.

Right before takeoff...

He makes a perfect landing!

However, the stapler had more spring than expected.

That's gonna leave a mark.

Url: Touchdown! My turn!

Note: No miniature vikings were harmed during the making of this episode.

Episode 4: Attack of the Stapler Remover

2009-07-31T14:57:00.000-04:00

Earl was leisurely skateboarding through the office cubicles, as most miniature vikings do....

...when he came upon a large, saber-toothed monster!

Never having seen a stapler remover before, he assumed this was a devious attempt from other miniature vikings to sabotage Url's prepackaged air idea.

So to protect himself, his pet Dwight and Url's billion dollar idea, he jumped off his skateboard and attacked the scary, legless, office monster.

Victory! The monster lies dead......a bloodless battle.

The next day a new office policy came out..
"Skateboarding is strictly prohibited in the office area."

Episode 3: Url the Viking Entrepreneur

2009-07-28T09:35:00.000-04:00

Url : Would Dwight like to do some moonlighting?

Earl: What do you mean?

Url: I need him to guard a shipment of prepackaged air.

Earl: Prepackaged air?!

Url: Yes! It will be the next biggest thing since bottled water! I'm planning on offering many lines of prepacked air... Spring Air, Purified Air, Mineral Air, Distilled Air, Sparkling Air, Artesian Air... and for those on a budget - Tap Air.

Earl doesn't really buy into the idea but could use the extra money, so he lets Dwight take the job. However, he knows that Dwight will get the shakes if he goes too long without online communications.

Earl: Your business will be complete after I hook up internet access!

Meanwhile, Dwight carefully guards the warehouse, or "airhouse".

Stay tuned.

It was an eventful week for the Viking duo of Earl and Url.

See Exhibit A.

Url retaliated by raising his weapon and a fight ensued...
