May Every Kerbal Damsel's Dress Jump Excitingly: planet mnemonics


Justy

Recommended Posts

Little Jeb was too busy doodling model rockets in his notebook, and didn't pay attention when his teacher was trying to tell him the names of the planets! Little Bill and Bob tell him it's okay, it's easy if he remembers one simple phrase...

  • My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.
  • Many Very Educated Men Just Screwed Up Nature (minus Pluto; XKCD gave me a better mnemonic for this one but it's not for polite company).
  • My Very Excellent Mother Constantly Just Serves Us Nachos, Pizzas, Hamburgers, Meatballs and Eggplants (includes Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, Eris).

These are mnemonics for helping people remember the names and order of the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and sometimes Pluto. I invite you to comment with your version for the solar system of the Kerbals. Include an "S" or "K" for the Sun/Kerbol if you like, or don't. Ignore Dres as a dwarf planet if you like, though if you do include it, a really good one will include a way to distinguish between the two adjacent D's (in the example in the thread title, DR = Dres. Maybe you'll have a phrase where the first D-word evokes Duna somehow.)

Any ideas?

Mint Enriched Kessler Donuts Drive Jeb Excited

Whenever I get silly with my brother, I always say things like...

"If I ever own a car wash, I'm going to name it *something funny pertaining to car washes we just said*"

and I just immediately thought "If I ever own a donut shop, I am going to name it 'Kessler's Donuts'" hahaha

Most Elevated Kerbals Desire Dangerously Jovial Eels.

With every moon included for extra-descriptive purposes:

Most Elevated (Green) Kerbals (Mostly Male) Desire (, Imminently, ) Dangerously Jovial (Like Vocally Trained Bulgarian Pirahnas) Eels

I admit, that makes very little sense :P

....that's more words than planets.

Moho, Eve, Gilly, Kerbin, Mun, Minmus, Duna, Ike, Dres, Jool, Laythe, Vall, Tylo, Bop, Pol, Eeloo.

Me at first: "Huh? What's... huh... that's a lot of words... wait... there's some moons... wait! Clever..."
