IN MEMORY OF PLUTO et al

PLUTO 1930-2006


(No not that Pluto) Ok folks, it's the end of the solar system as we have always known it. Once there were 9 and now there are 8...or is it 8.5. In my 26 years of existence, actually 18 of those 26, I'd always believed there were 9 planets. They are Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Jupiter,Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. I know this because I had to see My Very Elephantine Mother Just Swallow Up Nine People just like that. Not to mention the Nine Pizzas, the Nine Pickles, the Nine Porcupines and all the silly mneumonic phrases that I had to come up with just to learn the names and order of the planets in the solar system. But today all that hard work has gone down the drain because some brainiacs just woke up one day and decided to change science by demoting Pluto to non-planet status. Actually they say it' now a dwarf planet. I don't buy that bullocks. That's like saying 'Honey, you're just not good enough to 'roll' with the big boys' and 'you belong in second base' and 'You can ride when you grow up'. But there's always one bad apple in the basket, one black sheep in the flock, one belly flop in the jelly belly and one bad planet in the Solar System reality show. So my dawg Pluto the tribe has voted you out because YOU are the WEAKEST LINK...goodbye.
It is a sad occurence my friends but it is either we've been lied to our entire lives about Pluto or Mr. Clyde Tombaugh had just a little too much to drink when he claimed he discovered another planet. He had the whole world fooled didn't he? And such fools we were to take too seriously the words of a 24 year old farm boy from Kansas. Isn't that where Dorothy is from again. How ever I do not fault Mr. Tombaugh in anayway. In fact, I do believe he truly discovered the 9th planet and some major PLAYER HATERS just want to steal the shine from his championship ring and put him on the bench. As don't hate a playa, hate the damn game and while you are at it get your own freaking planet. I mean it ain't like homie's got 12 moons or a 50Million inch dub for a ring. And who are these people anyways who decided to unplanetize Pluto. Can they even do that? This has got to be a matter of National Security for the Plutonites. Earth better get ready for the Invasion from Pluto, Plutonic Plague and Plutoride Showers. That if they don't crash Pluto into Earth. Meanwhile below is a statement from Disney, beacuse this has affected their brand. BUt you know sales of stuffed Pluto, Pluto T-Shirst and all things Plutonic will go uo like crazy

08/24/2006: "Despite Planetary Downgrade, Pluto Is Still Disney's 'Dog Star'"
BURBANK, CALIF – In reaction to news today that Pluto was demoted to the status of "dwarf planet," the Seven Dwarfs issued their own short statement:
"Although we think it's DOPEY that Pluto has been downgraded to a dwarf planet, which has made some people GRUMPY and others just SLEEPY, we are not BASHFUL in saying we would be HAPPY if Disney's Pluto would join us as an 8th dwarf. We think this is just what the DOC ordered and is nothing to SNEEZE at."
As Mickey Mouse's faithful companion, Pluto made his debut in 1930 – the same year that scientists discovered what they believed was a ninth planet.
Said a white-gloved, yellow-shoed source close to Disney’s top dog, "I think the whole thing is goofy. Pluto has never been interested in astronomy before, other than maybe an occasional howl at the moon."


Anyways along with the demise of Pluto, the news this week and the next month really will be full of memoriams and i feel this is the perfect time to Throw Your Lighters Up for the Angels, Legends and Icons, and regular people we have lost ....
