As teachers across the country prepare for a new school year to begin (or in some areas, are in the early stages of school beginning), I'm sure the news this week was alarming.  Pluto is no longer a planet.  Sure, maybe it's better to have one LESS planet to teach about than to have one MORE.  Maybe teachers didn't spend all that much time talking about Pluto anyway since it is so far away and may not be the focus of standardized tests.  Certainly, they probably spent more time talking about Pluto than Uranus because no teacher in the English-speaking world wants to say that word in front of a classroom of students.  The real cause for alarm is that the old planet mnemonic must be changed.

My very eager mom just served us nine pizzas.  Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto.  Clearly the word "pizza" is the integral part of this mnemonic and without it, it's just stupid.  Either that or a very awkwardly written sentence about a mother who served nine people.  And if she did that, I doubt that she'd be very eager.

Obviously something new is needed.  Here are some of my ideas:
My very edgy mom just served us nothing.  Since not very many words have changed, this one might be easy to remember.  Also, it's much more realistic.
Mangy vagabond eats mushy junk, so utterly nasty.  The grossness of this one might appeal to kids, but there are probably too many words that would need to be explained to make this effective.
May vain Elvis make jam sauce using narcotics.  Although "jam sauce" is unheard of, it seems unlikely that Elvis will show up just to make my new mnemonic a reality.

Any ideas?
