When this Pluto thing broke, people started recounting the acronyms (not mnemonics) they used to remember the order of the planets. The one I learned when I was five years old was:

Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto

Using the actual names of the items always seems to work best for me. The same is true of the names of the OSI layers and the resistor color codes (e.g., 0=black, 1=brown, 2=red, etc.). People remember lists in different ways best, I guess.

I can't take credit for these, but:

Planets:
My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pumpkins (Or, I suppose, Pizzas)

OSI layers:
Please Do Not Tell Sales People Anything

Most of the BGP best-path:

We - Weight
Love - Locally Originated + Local Pref (these are two different things)
Algorithms - AS-Path
On - Origin
My - MED
Router - Router-ID
(If anyone can add to the BGP one, please do!)
