Mnemonic Challenge!


Recommended Posts

When I was a child, I learnt the order of the planets (as they were then) by the mnemonic "My Very Earnest Mother Just Showed Us Nine Planets". I guess a more 'modern' version, with pluto removed would be "My very earnest mother just showed us nothing"

(For anyone that doesn't know, a mnemonic is a memory-aid, a rhyme or easily memorable acronym that allows you to recall complicated information more easily)

My challenge is to deliver the Kerbal equivalent to the above mnemonic: an in-universe tool to remember the order of the planets.

Most memorable/funny/X factor one gets recorded on this page. Will be updated as needed, so keep them coming!

For reference, the order is: M-E-K-D-D-J-E

My 'attempt' is an adaption of the above:

"My Earnest Kerbal Daddy Died (in) Jeb's Explosion"

Judged as Best:

"Make Each Kerbal Do Daring Jool Encounters" by kerbomatic

Honorable/Funny Mentions:

"May Every Kerbals Death Demonstrate Jackass Explosions" by synapse

Edit: HARD MODE: Include all the moons in the mnemonic! Separate record here.

For reference, the order is: M-E-g-K-m-m-D-i-D-J-l-v-t-b-p-E

My 'attempt' is as follows:

"My Earnest Giant Koala Munches Merrily, Down In Dingo Junction, lovers vote today before polls end"

Judged as Best:

"Many Eastern Girls Keep Mentioning My "D". I Didn't Just Leave Visuals, Those Babes Paid Extra" by Kerbies_are_my_Minions (slightly edited)

Honorable/Funny Mentions:

Good luck, and may the odds be forever in your favour.

Multiple Entry Grandstanding Kerbals May Mutilate Directly if Daring Joolian Launch Vectors Transit Bop Precititously Eh?

(and the Mneumonic I knew was 'Me Very Estinople Man. Just Say Uncle Neptune Please'.)

I felt that using 'Jool' in my first attempt was a bit of a cheat, so substitute with 'Jovian' (that's Make Each Kerbal Do Daring Jovian Encounters) ... Also,

Many Enterprising Kindergarteners Don't Deliberately Juggle Eggs.

Hard mode attempt after the procrastination break...

Edit: There we go:

Merciful Elephants Gave Kittens More Milk Delaying Indefinitely Directing Jaguars Longing Viciously To Breed Plentiful Emus

Maybe Extraterrestrial Greedy Kleptomaniacs Mooch Melancholy Dips Incidentally Decreasing Jeb's Laughably Vociferous Technophobia Before Procrastination Exists

or

Manditory Examinations Guard Kerbals Mainly. Maybe Doodbery is Dodging? Jeb laughed Vociferously then Burped Phonetic Eloquence

"MechJeb exists, godless killjoys!" My mouth dries inside, dreading jubilant luddites vomiting tendentious boilerplate: "Purity exclusively!"

EDIT: Disclaimer: This mnemonic was created for comedic purposes only.

Millicent Enters Gated Kerbal Municipality. Maybe Dudley is Done Jesting? Lastly, Vacuous Thespians Berate Pair Extensively

or

Multiple Engines Get Kerbals Mashed. Minimising Designs Is Desirable. Just Love VAB Thunderous Boosters Plummeting Eccentrically.

Multiple Endearing Kerbals Doesn't Deteriorate Jeb's Enthusiasm.
