Mnemonic... schemnemonic!

It looks like you can forget the old mnemonic sentence: My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) is debating what constitutes as a planet and will vote on August 24 whether to include Ceres, Charon and Xena as planets in our solar system. If accepted the order would look like this: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon and Xena.

I created my own mnemonic sentence to accomodate the change:

My Veterinarian Elbowed My Cat Jack Stirring Up New Psychological Condition Xenophobia.

What did you come up with?
