(Two posts in one week. Very exciting times…)
My world is falling apart before my very eyes! In the words of the Primitive Radio Gods, “I’ve been down hearted baby. Ever since the day you left.” You probably need to sit down for this one…actually, you probably are. But here goes.
Pluto is no longer a planet.
I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you that, but it just had to be done. Pluto is out like charity wristbands. Never again to be included in science fair projects and small scale models of the universe. Global citizens everywhere lose one of the treasured heroes of the planets. The underdog of space has given up the ghost. And I for one can barely take the news. Yes, it is truly a bitter pill, but we must not become complacent in the gully. We must hold our heads up high and remember Pluto for what she was; a giant glob of ice floating in space.
Edit here.
I had another paragraph explaining how the pneumonic device My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas could be altered now that Pluto is out. But it was a joke that, in hindsight, is tasteless and crude. And although I realize some of my audience is tasteless and crude, I shouldn’t be. I originally wrote it because I like people to laugh and value my sense of humor but sometimes I go too far. I apologize to all.
So long Pluto. It’s been a great ride.

FIRST!!!!
Mike, aren't you supposed to be a Christian?
Does the words 'Honor thy Mother and Father' mean anything to you!?
You disappoint me.
You are completely right, Randy. Thank you.
now i'm all curious.
and since i know not whether this particularly blogging website alerts one to new comments regardless of where and when they take place i shall comment here (as it is the newest post and practically guaranteed to be noticed) on your july 18 post. Comment to follow.
Comment (Main Body): I enjoyed this post a lot. But Dan's comment makes me think of that episode of star trek where they go to this planet that has a germ-free atmosphere so people just live until their bodies stop regenerating (they don't cover lightning strikes, bee stings, car accidents, spinning knives, etc). They don't give an age to my recollection, but we're led to believe it is very very old. anyways, the whole planet is crowded almost shoulder to shoulder with people who just don't die. you should try to avoid that.
