Ladies and Gentlemen: My Brother

Most of you know Ryan. For those of you who don't: he's currently doing his PhD in Cambridge right now in Computer Vision (after waking up and realizing that the drudgery and menial task-management of real world employment at Bell Mobility is pants). In the words of (a decidedly sarcastic) Drunk Nikie, "Christmas at your place must be REAL fun, with all the vision-speak going on".

Yes, yes it is.

Anyhoo, he made the mistake of pointing me to his friend Becky's blog this morning (looking forward to meeting you Becky!). What with it being Friday and all, I was able to leisurely set out through said blog to read some of the goings-on at Wolfson college. Which led me to photos. Which I know some of you will appreciate (Lynne Honey, I'm looking at you).

Now, when I think of Cambridge, I think of the epitome of academics, class, and wealth. I think of enchanting evenings on the River Cam, Afternoon Tea with aristocracy, and Formal Balls. At least Ryan has experienced some of that:

CambFormal

That would be Ryan right smack dab in the middle (5th from the left AND right). I've never seen him in a tux (albeit a tux purchased from eBay), so that was nice. Then I came across THIS:

ScaryBro

I had to actually read Becky's blog to figure out which one he was. Yep, that's him 2nd from the right. Dressed as Dog, Bounty Hunter/Gay Porn Star. Shudder.

I have now seen it all: Ryan in a see-through shirt with handcuffs laced around him.

Ryan, are you trying to tell us something?

This is me, officially speechless. Didn't think it could be done.

Yes, I should have foreseen this. But I don't regret my Dog moment in the least. Although I might add that I didn't pick out the shirt, about which I had my only misgivings regarding the whole affair.

But yes, the consensus was that I was a gay porn star rather than Dog - who, surprise, surprise, doesn't get much media coverage in the UK.

Incidentally, the Finn (dressed as the Pope, far left) won the costume contest at the end of the night. James, playing Jesus (second from left), didn't take defeat very magnanimously, and started humping the pope on the dance floor, simultaneously expressing his contempt for the contest judges, and the divinity of the Catholic church.
