Yeah, but why the basement? That’s the part I can’t figure out.
-
Because Mom optimistically turned his old bedroom into a guest/sewing/exercise room while he was away at school.
-
Being in the basement allows you the illusion that you’re living separately, in your own place, without the reality.

It sounds more pathetic.
I literally lived in my mother’s basement for a while (early 20’s). It offered more privacy than my childhood bedroom, and I could come and go through the side door or watch tv late at night without waking her. But we shared the one kitchen and one bathroom upstairs. (When I moved out, she put a bathroom in downstairs. Bitch never liked me much. 
)
That is a very awesome picture. And, uh, who’s the yummy looking Joss Whedon lookalike in the front? Mwrrrrowrrr! :o
It is truly a shame you didn’t have this “do” in Las Vegas.
I would have paid a princely sum to follow you all to the local strip club, just to see the faces as you entered to get your lap dances…
points and laughs
It’s Alex’s stag do tonight, btw. Beer and Greek mezze. Very few chainmail costumes.
In some areas. When I lived in Michigan as a child, my bedroom was the basement - a huge, faux wooden paneled room with its own bathroom and a wood-paneled bar area ( with the card suits cut into the front with blue and red lights behind the transparent panels. ). The laundry room was next door. 'twas awesome and to this date, ~28-30 years later, by far the largest bedroom I’ve ever had :D. It was virtually a studio apartment ( no kitchen, but it would have been easy enough to install and there was room for one ).
This was a not particularly expensive, single-level rental in the suburbs. Quite common thereabouts.
Re the op: Awesome photo :).

This was taken after spending much time at The Star Trek Experience. According to my sources, he still had that on when they got to the strip club. (for the record, that woman isn’t me, and she’s not a stripper either. 
)
I’m pretty certain those trousers aren’t standard Starfleet issue.
I think you’ll find if you check the regs for the janitorial staff…
Quite the unsavory lot. I like it.
garius what an awesome picture.
There is a whole lotta phallic going on in that picture.
Yes, yes he is. It’s just a disappointment that he didn’t bring the costume home…
<--------- Proud smilie.
There are a lot of hangovers in that first picture.
That’s a wonderful group photo, garius. Mazel tov on your upcoming wedding!
And I haven’t forgotten the debt; I’ll let you know when I’m finally going to be in or near London. (Where “near” probably will mean Brussels.)
All I can say is that stripper better have had a hell of a body under that dress.
Well, yeah, but you’re prejudiced. (Plus if you didn’t say so, you’d be in trouble, Ms. Fiancee-lady.)
The lady down at the bottom looks a little cut-rate. Usually at stags, they bring in a much better looker. 
Aye, a saucy wench be she what slayed the dragon with 'er teeth
