My very eager mother Ceres just served us nine pickles Charon Xena.
Goodness - the people at www.nineplanets.org must be very upset.

The The International Astronomical Union is trying to grant planetary citizenship to two asteroids and a moon, here illegally from Andromeda no doubt.
Under the draft proposal, Ceres, Charon, and "Xena" (who doesn't even have a legitimate name, much less a driver's license), would pay a small fine and promise to learn English. In return, they would be granted full citizenship as planets in our solar system.
Democrats jumped to point out that the three wouldn't really be considered full planets, instead the term "Pluton" would be applied. "It's a travesty!" Said informal IAU spokesperson Jesse Jackson. "This is just another obvious Republican attempt to cheat oppressed minorities out of their vote, while delivering nothin' but smoke and mirrors."
