The HELL? No more Pluto? He always did seem out-of-place and out-of-scale. Plus, as Chuck at work explained, there’s no point in telling Pluto he’s dissed because by the time the news gets out there we’ll all be dead anyway.
So, last time this happened they had to change the mnemonic from “Mary’s Violet Eyes Make Jack Stay Up Nights” to “Mary’s Violet Eyes Make Jack Stay Up Nights, Perhaps.” (Evidently there’s another version that ends with “Pining” but they didn’t want to sully our childlike minds with that.
But now? I say it again: The HELL? Xena? There’s a new planet named Xena?
So instead of a “P” word we need to tack on an “X” word? Our choices are X-ray, Xenophobe, and Xylophone. And don’t make me learn a completely new mnemonic; I’m not doing it.
“Mary’s Violet Eyes Make Jack Stay Up Nights Xylophoning.” That’s our only option. Memorable, no?
One response to “So we need something new, I guess”
You are missing an excellent opportunity to rewrite the whole sentence to take a dig at Christian Science. MVEMJSUN Xenu – you can figure out the first eight words.
