For this you don't want to be showing off toys you want to be showing of clean solid work. This is things that will make the company says "He/She can get the job done, just look at X." You also want your work to be branded with your name not you Psuedonym. If you want to be hired think clean cut, spiffy and cool. When you get the job then you can be a bit nutty but you don't want to show anything but professional until you get the job. I would say no you would not want to be hired for your "'white collar super-straight dude' personality" you want to get hired, and that can be the tricky part. You want to play the role to the nines. You didn't really state why type of job you were looking to get, so I assumed since you edge on programming you would want to get a job as a programmer for a somewhat mid to large sized company. My experience has shown that getting those jobs requires you to be normal and professional. You need to talk about the facts and be able to get the job done. If you can do that nothing else matters. If you can clarify more to what you are looking to get I might be able to modify my answer in many different ways, as I stand right now I am shooting from the hip on many blind assumtions.
