the Vikings

There have been at least two grouups bearing the Viking name.


The first incarnation of the Vikings was a group that assembled at any time, usually late at night. They would put on odd or funny hats and grab blunt objects, grunt constantly, go into people’s rooms and "beat" them with those blunt objects. These were known as "Viking Raids" hence the name of the group. There was a semi-official leader, who held onto his power with the help of one loyal Viking. Their time frame coincided with that of the Cove.


There was another group of Vikings that existed the next year. These were Svensk (Stephen McKenzie), Utar the loyal, (David Tankersley), and Xvart the Dane (David Carrington). Utar and Xvart had been in the previous group, although they did not receive their names until they became a part of the second group.

This group did not raid, they "Plundered and Pillaged, because they're the Vikings, that's what they do." They plundered and pillaged, however, only on October 32nd. They found this an effective way to avoid prosecution by the authorities.

Their ship was the "Nellie Belle," Utar's car. Their main activity was calling each other by their Viking names and speaking in what was their best approximation of a Norse accent. They hold a grudge against Columbus for taking the credit for discovering America away from the Vikings.
