That was awful. What a way to go out. (But also - never take your passport out of the fanny pack! Keep all your travel documents together! Travel 101, guys!)
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh, that was brutal. Poor Dudes.

You know it was lost-lost when no camera dude caught it lying on a seat or sidewalk.
What a cruel way to go though -- in first, legitimately proud of themselves for playing well -- and then to get canned this way.
Now I'm wondering what happened -- did they eventually find the passport? Did they have to hang out in Phnom Penh for a couple days until it was replaced?

Yep. Though I was hoping it had fallen under the seat in the cab or something where a cameraman might not be able to see.
My guess is CBS dropped them at the embassy with a PA to get a temp passport issued and then whisked them off to the sequestration hotel.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I was really bummed that it wasn't just in the cab!

TAR: So terrible!
I was so hopeful that it would be in the cab because they were lucky enough to be in the same cab all day. But I really do feel bad for them because they did have a great run.
But, yo, hold on to your passports, people.

or as Phil says "travel documents."

I'm sure that "travel documents" includes any and all visas as well as passports.
