Your favourite stoty by someone else is an interesting thread. Reading other people's favourite stories has lead me to some more memorable images and mnemonics.
Particularly, cbogart bigging up inuki's story for beat lead me to a better way to remember the kanji.
So in a similar way, how about posting your favourite by yourself? Somewhat onelistic, but why not?

My personal Favorite is Eddy the Freaking clam, the 1 eyed Shellfish with attitude and chutzpah. I've had a lot of fun telling various stories of his exploits. I'm a little sad that the shellfish primitive doesn't come up as much as it used to.
Another is Separate, which I was having all kinds of problems with, until I discovered that the way to kill the demon of 10,000 mouths, you must cut off his main proboscis mouth with a saber.
I am only up to 194 at this point.. So more and better stories are coming I am sure.

This is one that sticks out in my mind
709 beat 撃
In a valiant effort to beat Dr. Wily and his minions, Mega Man turns his dog Rush into a car, shoots missiles from his hand cannon, and summons the help of his robotic bird Beat.

Maybe because it was late, but I made myself laugh out loud with this one:
恭 respect
As a sign of respect, I give my two-headed monster a valentine. It reads:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
God, you're a freak,
But I still love you.

I have 2 favorites:
太 - plump - fat("plump") men always have small penises.....the kanji is a combination of "large" with a drop(representing the small penis between his legs)
鉢 - bowl - Imagine the "Golden Bowl" as an award to the author of the most outstanding book of the year. The award is in the shape of bowl as a joke to promote the "starving artist" stereotype.

I have had stories that were more tight and streamlined, but I was really happy with the stroke of inspiration that tied up the monstrous (4-5 constituent primitives) kanjis for INDICATIONS, PENAL, and DELICATE into a somewhat neat package by bringing in my favorite scene from Conan the Barbarian. Contemplate that on the tree of woe, Baby...

My favourite story by myself is a two part story, frame 836 and 837 form one story that serve to remember both characters due to Heisig's suggestion to learn them in conjunction.
環 Ring
In conjunction with send back (FRAME 837)....... When I tried to give her the jewel ring, she eyed me, threw it to the floor, opened her mouth and tried to speak, she said nothing. She grabbed her scarf and left.
還 Send Back
Continued from ring (FRAME 836)....... So I'm on the road going to send back the ring minus the jewel, the hit to the floor knocked it out.
Both these characters gave me lots of trouble and nobody's storied were sticking for me, now I've got them both down in memory.
