Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Gold Watch (preferably with Navy Blue back-color)
  • Maroon Suspenders
  • Gold Tie with Staggered Diamond Pattern
  • Blue Dress Shirt with White Collar and BLUE Cuffs
  • Coffee Mug: "Initech"
  • Gaudy Reading Glasses

Step2
Lean on walls, chairs, etc. when you settle on someone to talk to.
Step3
Stick out your bottom teeth just a bit and squint a smidgen when talking.
Step4
Nod and smile when "listening"; follow up with either "Um ... yahh ..." or "I'm gonna have to go ahead and ... disagree with you there", but always make sure to use mild, circular hand motions stemming from the arm holding the coffee mug.
Step5
Get your picture taken.

Tips & Warnings

  • The outfit detailed above is from the day Lumbergh is standing under the "Is This Good For The Company" banner and later when he asks Peter to work on Saturday. Thus it is only ONE of the many fabulous clothing incarnations of this character, so don't feel obligated to this one in particular.
  • This is a work in progress.
  • Even with cheap crap, this can get a little pricey.
  • It's Bill Lumbergh not Bill Lumberg or Lumbarg, took me a while to figure out as well. I'm secretly hoping that this warning will catch mispelled searches. So if you're looking for ideason a Bill Lumberg costume ...

on 5/3/2007 Don't forget 2 vital elements, pleated brown pants designed for the button-on suspenders, and medium brown wingtip shoes. The shirt color can be blue or tan as long as the collar is white. The tie can match the suspenders (preferable) though it doesn't have to. A tie clip is essential, and the parted in the middle hair with mini-mullet is important.
