Yeah, that's a typo on Cargg, and no, that's not my favourite planet, triple sun or not.
Lallor is a bit way off in terms of distance from the United Planets and the answer to the question. Sorry Quis, but Lallor is not it.
Hyneria is the only planet on the list from Farscape, but a planet where the inhabitants are all fish-like muppets with helium flatulance? Urgh, definitely not my favourite.
Guess again!

Nice to see everyone has as much success with these things as I normally do  I pick Osiris.

Geonosis is the Star Wars planet with the clones? I don't even remember what happened there, so it's not my favourite.
Pluto isn't a planet according to the International Atomic Union. So it can't be my favourite planet...
Osiris is a real planet, HD 209458 b is its actual name (I had to look that up) that's bigger than Jupiter and takes 3.5 Earth days to make an orbit around its sun. Nope, way too hot to be my favourite, although it's big!
Guess again!

Seriously guys?
Quintessa is the Transformers race of deadly shark-like creatues. Not my cup of tea.
Formic is the home planet of the bugs in Ender's Game ( I watched the movie). It's supposed to be waterless and is more or less a huge ant hill. Not a planet I would like.
Do try again.

LOL, trust you guys to get to the last item on the list. Yes, Nebulon, also known as Nebulos (comic) and Master (Japanese). Home of the Headmasters, Targetmasters and Powermasters. One of my absolutely favourite Transformers series, and therefore my favourite planet.
You're up thothkins.

Never heard of it Right, Christmas time rapidly approaches with the speed of a pimped up sleigh. So what three movies with a Christmas component have I seen most often? Not necessarily my favourites, but ones I seem to see a lot of. You can guess up to three movies and the person who guesses the last of the three gets to do the next post. While I was putting together the list I noticed Brazil was on it. An excellent movie that I have seen several times. Did I remember it as set around Christmas...um, no. A Christmas Carol Scrooge It's a Wonderful Life Miracle on 34th Street White Christmas Mickey's Christmas Carol Santa Claus The Movie Ernest Saves Christmas Scrooged National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Home Alone All I Want for Christmas The Muppet Christmas Carol Eyes Wide Shut Die Hard Die Harder Black Christmas Gremlins I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas The Polar Express Bad Santa Trading Places Deck the Halls Hogfather While You Were Sleeping

The Muppet's Christmas Carol is one. It's a fall back movie for those years where the Christmas spirit is obviously busy showing other people their error of their ways before me.

Trading Places is on every year where I am. I imagine that Home Alone is too, but Trading Places is on later in the day so I've more chance of seeing it.
Just 1 to go.

Could be. You're upholding the proud LW tradition nicely with none right from those three.

Yay! Scrooged. I don't always see it all. I sometimes don;t get to see all of what's left. But every year, without fail, it will cross my path. Generally in time for the depressing deceased homeless guy scene  But don't let that put you off There's a heart warming monologue later on that is always worth listening to. Gremlins I remember as a fun movie, but I haven;t seen in a very long time. Die Hard movies are also always on, but don;t have the same lasting appeal for me. Any Christmas movie with added saccharine is not something I enjoy. As a reward for your perseverance Ibby, why don't you ask a question now?

I think any movie based on Dickens' A Christmas Carol already has a good head start for being great Thank you thothkins, don't mind if I do. I've read a lot of Legion stories, but my actual physical collection of comic books is a bit more limmited. I do not actually OWN any physical copies of comic books featuring which of the 3 Legion characters below? a) Myron Marks b) Policy Pam c) Nightwind d) Particon e) Iresa f) Cera Kesh g) Celese Rockfish h) Theena i) Marte Allon j) Dev-Em k) Gas Girl l) King Jonn m) Janice Warren n) Starlight o) Douglas Nolan p) Alisia Frake q) Tyroc r) X-Bomb Betty s) Harmonia Li t) Stun u) Absorbancy Boy v) Charma w) Green Boy x) Infectious Lass y) Ambassador Jeryl z) Monica Sade
