[edit] Costume Meanings?
I'd like others opinions on this. I think the costumes the staffers wear in this episode are symbolic of their characters and would like to add this to the trivia section. Consider the following:
Two-Headed Michael: He fights within himself wheather to be a stern boss and a friendly, laidback boss everybody likes (this can be backed up in "The Carpet" episode where Michael describes his old boss Ed Truck and how he was humorless and by-the-book and how Michael decided - if he ever became boss - to be the exact opposite.)
Kelly as Dorothy': She lives idly on the lives of celebrities, a fantasy.
Creed as a vampire': He's very old.
Devon as a hobo: The most obvious; he becomes unemployed in this episode.
Kevin as a superhero: He's the opposite of every characteristic that defines a superhero, most notably his physique.
Oscar in drag: He's a closeted homosexual
Three Hole Punch Jim (This one is the most trite, bare with me): the three holes are the three holes in Jim's life, namely not being in a loving relationship, a career, and.....I can't consider another.
Stanley and Ryan don't wear costumes. Ryan doesn't want to be part of the office's traditions and Stanley feels work should be about work.
All the others wear generic cat costumes. I can't really point anything to those.

- Although they're interesting, all those are POV theories that are really for a forum or online community rather than an encyclopedia article. (People could argue that Creed is a vampire not because he's old but because he's steals things like vampire's steal blood). The fact that you can't point to the cat costumes shows that these are flawed opinions rather than observational facts. Williamnilly 05:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
