I always had my day brightened at an old job by emails from this guy in Master Data. His email signature was just MC Hammer lyrics disguised as Bible verses, something like Hammerlonious, 4:16-24. Nobody ever asked him to change it or gave him grief about it, since rather than implement something normal like SAP, the company had decided to roll their own in-house ERP system, and he was the only one who actually knew how a good chunk of it worked.

meanwhile in academia I am looking at some random profile pictures: monkey, duck, game logo, monkey, a pub sign which has the guy's name, sloth, a weird flightless bird, couple cartoon characters including alien/kermit. only a couple smart casual profile pics which are actually external collaborators

But business attire is so ~~droll~~ dull. Even in the Guy Kawasaki was differentiating between the ties (business suits) and t-shirts (techs so skilled that their casual attire was tolerated.

Droll means humorous, did you mean to write dull or do you have a different point I am not understanding.
