As with SOaP, this will be my only entry on this subject.

Admit it: You only wanted Pluto to stay a planet because a) you had to memorize it in grade school, and b) it's just so little and cute.

Actually, technically this isn't my only entry on the subject. New Gaybortion!: Sorry, Pluto.

YES. I was waiting for such an image to emerge. Congratulations on being the first one I've yet seen.

Even though I saw it coming from someone, somewhere, it's still funny.

Re: Ha ha ha

[sabotabby]

I looked around, couldn't find one on my f-list, and decided it had to be done.

[misfitina.livejournal.com]

Scientists are mean.

[sabotabby]

Yeah...talk about picking on the little guy.

[smhwpf.livejournal.com]

There's no other case where the impact of the Greek and Roman name of a god is so totally different. One is a cute little not-quite-a-planet and a cartoon dog, and the other is a big scary brother of Zeus and the Abode of the Dead.

I reckon it was the dog that did for the planet status mind you, not any technical size and shape considerations.

[sabotabby]

It's a moronic dog, but now I'm imagining Hades—or Cerberus—as a Disney character.

[frippy.livejournal.com]

No, no, no... gah. If Disney did Cerebrus, the three talking heads would be voiced by really annoying people -- maybe one would be kind of restrained and snotty, like a David Ogden Stiers, one would be really, really insane and keyed up, like a Chris Tucker type, and the other would be a smirky, dry-humor kind of guy, like Jason Alexander. And the three heads would have witty arguments amongst each other, many of which pun on the notion of multiple heads.

Terrible, just terrible, really.

Sanrio Cerebrus, though, would be like triple Purin, which would be the cutest thing in the whole world.

[sabotabby]

I was sort of hoping that Disney Cerebrus would just eat all the other annoying characters. A girl can dream.

Sanrio Cerebrus

Did you hear that pop sound? That was the sound of my brain exploding from awesome.

[smhwpf.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid it's happened. I'm not sure I want to see that.

[sabotabby]

Trauma!

[frippy.livejournal.com]

Whoops, I totally forgot that Hades did appear in Hercules. I don't recall the three-headed dog.

All I remember about that movie was that:
a. Hades was voiced by James Woods
b. there was original music by Michael Bolton
c. I will never get those 75-90 minutes of my life back.

[frippy.livejournal.com]

Pluto the cartoon dog was actually named for the planet.

Maybe in a similar move, Pluto will be demoted as a Disney character.

[fannishnonsense]

Nah. I wanted it to stay a planet because I used to watch Sailor Moon, and Pluto was the coolest senshi!

[sabotabby]

But...Sailor Moon isn't a planet. She's a moon.

[fannishnonsense]

Don't confuse me with logic!

[threepunchstuff.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha, I was gonna do a IM NOT IN UR SOLAR SYSTM but that's so much more concise and delicious.

[sabotabby]

Oh, do it anyway.

[smhwpf.livejournal.com]

IM IN UR SOLAR SYSTM DOWNGRADIN UR PLANETZ

[eyelidlessness.livejournal.com]

Is it official? That's sad, I was hoping we were about to add a few new planets to the list.

[sabotabby]

According to Yahoo!News.

[eyelidlessness.livejournal.com]

I was going to make all kinds of jokes, but I'm too sad.

:(

[jvmatucha.livejournal.com]

Why can't they just throw in a variance for Pluto anyways? You know, like getting permission to build out of the boundaries of the local zoning?

Phooey I say!

[sabotabby]

Apparently they discussed a grandfathering clause, but to no avail.

[burkesworks.livejournal.com]

I wanted Pluto to stay a planet, if only for the next two to be discovered to be given the names Mickey and Goofy, like Robert Anton Wilson mentions in the Illuminatus! trilogy.

[sabotabby]

I need to read that. People keep referencing it.

[rohmie.livejournal.com]

You have snail mail-related email.

[sabotabby]

I just saw.

[ocicat-bengals.livejournal.com]

Oh definitely 'B'.

[sabotabby]

Me too, a bit. But that's why I'm not a scientist.

[reverendgraham.livejournal.com]

what is this "memorizing" thing? how hard is to to memorize nine eight names? there are—and have always been in recent memory—literally fewer planets than there are numbers in our number system. what kind of retard can't remember eight fucking names? how hard is this? i don't even understand why they say "memorize," like this is some sort of profound mental exercise. it's like "memorizing" your own name. wtf. if this is the sort of shit that intellectually challenges us in grade school, then i say our civilization is doomed. granted i'd probably say that anyway, but this certainly isn't helping anything.

[sabotabby]

Maybe it's hard if half of your populace thinks that the Earth is less than 6,000 years old.

[apperception.livejournal.com]

That's not a picture of Pluto!

Why do you traffic in falsehoods, sabotabby?

[sabotabby]

I'm an agent of the ZOG.
