Along the same lines...

Maybe if the planet's annoying relatives keep dropping by and mooching of it
and just causing a general dysfunctional environment the planet will get
sick and tired of it and move on its own and not tell its relatives where it
moved so they won't be able to bother it anymore.

At least that's what I did when I moved and "forgot" to tell my brother
where I went.

(who's also sorry, for the slightly irrelavant post that is, not for not
telling his brother where he lives now)

Unlike my earlier post about the cables and reels, this does not directly
have anything to do with an upcoming MOC, but I thought it would be a fun
discussion nonetheless.

Now moving a giant body from one place to another is obviously a sci fi
staple, so I expect a lot of references to various books, but it would also
be cool to hear some random ideas out of the blue.

For visual impact I keep imagining city sized thrusters spaced out evenly
over one side of the planet.  Or maybe a massive super thin/strong net
covering the whole planet, pulled on the other side by some space tugs.

Ideas?

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:
    "Moving Day  The day the earth stopped standing still".
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.
