Perhaps (probably maybe) I misunderstand. There was nothing "proper" about
the Peter face on the water tower, or lock-picking a boot to move it to a
patrol car, of Scott Knaur wandering the halls in a Darth Vader costume, or
Jellicat wearing a Cats costume, or a thousand other examples. There was a
lot of playfulness in the Labs (at least in the early days), and I think it
was wonderful.
