Jason Kotte and Meg Hourihan:

Man, very erroneous! Moronic jerks shouldn't uninclude neat Pluto.

Jim Henley:

My Very Easy Method Just Seems Useless Now.

Update! Here's the very bestest one, by Josh Mishell, winner of Kottke's mnemonics contest:

My! Very educated morons just screwed up numerous planetariums.

I'm rather partial to cataptromancer's "My very elegant mother just served us nothing."

All I have to say is, Gustav Holst was right.

Whiners.

I should listen to The Planets again.

Thanks for the link. I've been downloading those shows ever since you pointed it out.

(At first glance, one could be forgiven for thinking the reference above is to Ginny Arnell's song, "Dumb Head," which I have thanks to the girl-group anthology "Growin' Up Too Fast." -- "I'm just a dumb head, a dumb head / a stupid little girl / just a dumb head, a dumb head / Doo doo-d'doo d'doo-d'doo doo..." with the "doo" sounding almost like "duh.")

Well, why describe it when you can go hear a sample at Amazon. Too bad they didn't feature the second time she sings that line, because it's followed with a kazoo chorus that will break down even the stiffest resistance. Resistance is futile! Ginny Arnell will find you! (She's kind of amazing -- the samples here seem to indicate low self-esteem to the point of self-hatred, but a friend of mine has a whole album by her and she's a real favorite with him.)
