Well, the greatest photo of me anyway. 😃 It was my Stag Do last week and we had a group photo done to commemorate the event: [![](http://www.dragondark.co.uk/stuff/awesome.jpg) ](http://www.dragondark.co.uk/stuff/awesome.jpg) (Photo perfectly worksafe) One of the participants is now actively planning on proposing to his missus as well, simply so he has an excuse to go get another one done. 😃 There is actually 1 other doper and 2 ex-dopers in there as well thouggh i doubt anyone would recognise them! ---

i’m the guy in the middle rocking the chainmail/red tabbard. And no - not our clothes. Hence why one of the party is indulging in the great british tradition of cross dressing - the photo place didn’t have enough period costumes for 9 blokes 😃 ---

When I was a kid I took one of those old west type photos and the same thing happened. There were something like 6-8 of us, and they ran out of skirts. So there I am, standing there in bloomers. ---

For the record, the other doper present is: **Crusoe** (Rear. Second from right) And the former dopers are: **Confessor Knight** (Rear. Far right. Ironically not dressed as a Confessing Knight) **paulberserker** (Middle. Far right.\* Ironically not the guy dressed as the Viking Berserker) hmmmm… we didn’t really think that through… \*"fook off.

Truly, that is an awesome photo. But sorry, any photo that contains the caveat “photo perfectly worksafe” cannot, by definition, be the greatest photo ever taken. ---

[QUOTE=Demo] Don’t be sad. At least you don’t live in your mother’s basement. [/QUOTE] What is that whole thing about “in your parent’s basement” anyway? I would think someone who was living at home would just sleep in a regular bedroom. Where I grew up there was no bathroom or shower in the basement, no kitchen, and the only way out was through the house. Are finished basements more common than I’m aware of, or what? ---

It’s a crack on stereotype geeks who don’t have real lives and can’t invite girls over because they don’t have a place- they still live in their mother’s basement in their 30’s… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-greatest-photo-ever-taken/444907.md?page=2)
