The Star Wars Databank can keep you entertained for hours.

I believe you are talking about an Imperial Speeder Bike.



Yes, I am a geek, who can't code right on the first try.

From the website http://www.thephatphree.com/ top fifty ways to get fired. Number 25 says:

25. The Takagi
Tell your boss you hope he gets "Takagi-ed" one of these days. When he finds out what this means, you'll be on your way.

Does anyone know what this means? I googled it and couldn't find anything.

This was the best LessinSF could do:

Takagistic: Used by Formula One fans to describe someone who often skids off track. Word commemorates former Formula One driver Tora Takagi.
Example: Michael knew he was having a Takagistic weekend when he spun off the road for the second time in \
two laps.

And the commentary with it says it all:

"I’m not much of a Trekkie, but the even I have to admit the transporter is fucking dope. Yeah, so it doesn’t make a lot of sense, but let’s not get into some retarded debate about it. Nerds."

Confidential to spooky: Fuck you, you cheater.

and baked potato, with everything. And then it was cake day! 4 different kinds of cake AND cookies also. What a day.

I think I'm going to fall asleep. Or throw up. One of those.

So, hypothetically speaking, if you were to break up with a mountainclimbing lunchbox collecting asshole who is none too pleased with you about it and you suddenly realized you left your passport in a desk drawer at his house (no exchange of anything has taken place yet) and you are concerned he might burn it or lose it if you ask for it, would you:

(1) leave him a message asking for it and take the risk he'll lose it and you'll have to replace it (PITA)

(2) use the keys you have that he hasn't asked for back and quietly go in when he's not home and take it, he'll be none the wiser

or

(3) use the keys that you have to take back all his stuff, leave the keys there and grab the passport on your way out the door, knowing darn well he'll be pissed that you came into the house, but at least you're leaving the house keys behind and it'll look like a nice gesture maybe??????????????

TIA

You call him and say you left your passport at his house, you need to return the set of keys you have, and would he please let you know when is a good time to retrieve the passport and give him the keys. All of this should be said in a neutral tone of voice -- avoid sounding like you having a set of keys is a threat. If you can manage that.

This is why my breakup bar idea is such a good one.

I'm still almost 100% certain, he'll throw out my passport if I remind him that it's there.

I have been very angry when I've broken up with people. I've thrown things, including a strawberry milkshake while at the Johhny Rockets in Westwood and a very heavy crystal ashtray. It would never occur to me to destroy or dispose of someone's passport. And I'm the one people claim has a self-control issue.

I agree with La Fringe. Ask for it back politely. If he "loses" it after that, he's borderline scary anyway and you are well rid of him, even if it costs you $35 to get a new passport.

eta: Your #2 and #3 scenarios are both likely criminal offenses. Which could negatively impact your ability to practice, like, you know, law?

That is way too honest and will get you nowhere. Go back when you know he won't be there, take it and he'll never know.
Unless of course you cut all the buttons of his shirts and pants while you're there. Otherwise, he'll never know.

Less suggested an option 5:

Immediate visit to SF, which doesn't require a passport.
Ask him for it in a few weeks after i get back from Lesterville and he's had a chance to cool off and may not burn it.


I like the 2nd part, but not the first.
