Dammit, two responses, and both my jokes shot to hell. Assholes. 🙂 ---

Well there’s still a joke you can use about Uranus 😉 Besides Earth, Neptune would be my favourite. ---

Jupiter. When I was in 5th grade, I took an old basketball, paper mached it and painted it to look like Jupiter, complete with the red storm. I cut an “x” in the bottom and put it on a stand in my room. OTOH, Pluto sucks. It’s cold, distant, looks like a potato and doesn’t even know how to orbit properly. ---

Neptune – I like to fantasize that it is a water planet. I think a water planet would be very interesting to live on. We’d have to construct very strange houses and farms, etc. I know it’s not a water planet, of course, but I can always dream 🙂 ---

Earth’s ok to vacation on, but Mars is where it’s at. There’s always a bunch of cool swordfights goin’ on, eight legged dogs to yap at your heels, and Dejah Thoris is here. (Yeah, I’m posting from Mars even as we speak.) No contest, Mars all the way. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-your-favorite-planet/198946.md?page=2)
