Moving a Planet:
1) Everyone to the left of the international date line JUMP!
2) Large planetwide Mexican buffet.
3) Planetary Barry White Music Fesitival.
4) Dangle Carrot in front of planet... yell "giddyyap Planet" from behind.
5) Moonsized bottle of Exlax.
6) Call Planet Movers R Us.
7) Have Planet watch a poignant After School Special:

8) Offer Planet fruitcake.
9) Stare at planet and twitch a lot.
10) Every day play your music loudly, and nightly ring planet's doorbell
then run.
