What was Kelly supposed to be? Oh- and I vote YES on Angela’s nurse costume. Two thumbs waaaaayyyyy up. ---

What did Creed ask about the customers of the bar they were going to? Sounded like ‘HR’. ---

Three thumbs. 🙂 As a well-experienced pervert, I was quite disappointed by Pam and Erin’s costumes. …and I’ll second the question on Kelly’s costume. Merideth’s too. I thought for sure she’d be something horribly skimpy, like a belly dancer. -Joe ---

I had to go to the IMDB message board to find out…it is some female rapper named Nicki Minaj. > **[Nicki Minaj](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicki_Minaj)** > > Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty (born December 8, 1982), known professionally as Nicki Minaj (/ˈnɪki mɪˈnɑːʒ/), is a Trinidadian-born American\[a\] rapper, singer, and songwriter.

I hated this episode. What’s up with Jim asking about why the new guy didn’t call Pam back when they dated? Stanley doesn’t notice ANYTHING the whole day!? ---

The best costume by far, in my opinion (well, besides Angela’s nurse’s outfit) was Andy as Bill from _True Blood_. ---

I think Kelly’s first costume was Amy Winehouse. ---

> [@pepperlandgirl](#): > > I think you mean Meredith. Kelly changed her costume into a big loud dress and pink hair. I think people are reaching with Kelly’s second costume. I doubt it was some obscure rapper. I’ve seen something similar before…its a “SEXY” Willy Wonka/Oompa Loompa costume. Seriously. ---

Although hot, it’s way out of character for Angela to dress that way. The whole episode didn’t feel authentic to The Office universe to me. ---

Is it weird of me that I found Angela’s penguin costume sexy too (and NO, I am _NOT_ a furry)? Gabe had the best costume, IMO. ---

The best part of the episode was that it reminded my wife and me that our coupon book expires on Monday. We still have over 10,000$ worth to get out of it! ---
