Having also been in situations where we've missed flights due to lost essentials (e.g. plane tickets, photo ID), we can only express deep sympathy for Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb, who is not going to Tokyo Game Show this year due to a missing passport. Unfortunately, the Major didn't find out until he was in the terminal. Ouch. If you find his passport, be sure to let him know. Otherwise, check out the highlights for the weekend:

I had just glanced at Major's RSS feed and noticed it said Major grounded, and wondered what it was all about. I'm sure he is really disappointed, and I hope that no one in fact is impersonating him while smuggling a large amount of illegal goods in/out of the country...

Damn that sucks. I recently missed my flight BACK from Japan. Maybe we can trade refunds and get a round trip out of the deal for one of us. Or he could always pull a Flight of the Conchords and just kayak the whole way there.

Maybe he accidentally dropped it into the 360 he shipped back due to RROD?

I am really disappointed. I can't believe there haven't been any Microsoft Passport jokes as of yet.
