Pluto
| Yaxlich was disappointed to hear the news yesterday that Pluto is no longer a planet. Whilst he has never been there, he had always thought of it fondly and finds it demotion in status rather sad. Pluto is now officially referred to as a dwarf planet along with it's moon Charon and the wonderfully titled 2003 UB313. Yaxlich wonders how long before they are renamed Armand, Luis and Angel.  |

post a commentTish feels Yaxlich's sadness. She has just been watching another Dwarf, Red Dwarf and feels that Yaxlich might have felt quite at home on Starbug and might have been a great asset to the crew. Tish wonders what character he might have been. Does Yaxlich have any preference?
Yaxlich does not recall ever watching Red Dwarf. He does remember everyone saying that he would enjoy it but it clashed with Miss Marple and Yaxlich did not own a video recorder.
Perhaps when Yaxlich gets a job he will buy Red Dwarf on DVD. When he has some more money he will buy a DVD player.
Yax, you should check out the Pluto post on my site.
Yaxlich has checked out Jim's Pluto post. He has just checked it back in so other people can read it too.
He is concerned that Mr McKee might have to rename his blog "Life on Celestial Object Jim"
Hmmmm... Good God, I hope not! That just doesn't roll off of the tongue quite as well, does it?
Prometheus understands the pain of Yaxlich. Himself having been demoted from being one of the gods to being a semi-human, he has sympathy for Pluto.
He however, finds cheer in the fact that Yaxlich also refers to himself in the third person, which as Prometheus has been time and again told, is rather irritating to an unintelligent species called human.
Prometheus extends his hand in friendship.
Tish wishes Prometheus to note that the word "human" is derived from the Venusian slang term "hgummin", which means stupid, petty, short-sighted, and tentacle-deficient. If it had been Plutonium slang, it would have been something else. Tish cannot tell you what as she is not fluent in Plutonium.
dwarf planet... will the insults never end?
(sigh)
Tish feels that 3 dwarf planets is enough to start regular dwarf tossing nights at the pub. It would have to be a rather large pub, though.
Prometheus wants to know if there are Elf planets as well. He also wants to know which of Morticia's blogs are Morticia's blog. He feels extreme pain managing ONE blog and respects Morticia for having FOUR, though which one to read and litter with comments, he couldn't figure out.
The lingua on Pluto would be Plutonian or Plutonese. Plutonium, on the other hand, is what nerds with degrees play with to blow up Earth. And in fair Plutonese, they have no such profanity as the term 'human'.
Yaxlich is pleased to meet Prometheus too. He has never met a former God before.
He likes Tish's idea of dwarf planet tossing. It made him chuckle.
He also likes Terra Shields new name.
Finally Yaxlich found it incredibly spooky that his word verification for this post was "yaxlvpx"
