Neither Scott nor I suffered from orbisophobia (or kirkosophobia) the fear of circles. In fact it was the lack of fear coupled with ears that stick out that resulted in many an incarceration in this 60s art deco version of the Puritan stockade.

As for my hagiophobia, I do fear people who bare their testimonies in song. Freaks me right out.

OK I heard you. Once again I stand corrected.

What do they call the compulsion to google words your brother uses? (For the record, Jim made up "orbisophobia" and "kirkosophobia")

Also, their behavior is not a phobia and could more correctly be described as Globoid Obsessive Compulsion.

Yippee! What can I buy with my Jaydine Bucks?

Bryce said...

Actually it was Mark who got stuck repeatedly in those metal rings. Jim and Scott's carniums had not reached the requisite size yet.

BONNIE, Presently there are no stores that recognize the JaydineBuck as official currency. But isn't it gratifying to know you are ahead? (If you count Connor's bucks)
You have earned 25 JDBucks because your profile pic is so darn cute.

BRYCE, I guess I was too young to remember Mark getting stuck.
You must have been out on a date or somewhere whenever Jim or Scott became trapped. There was an odd slightly smaller circle near the bottom I think.
You have earned 50 Jaydine Bucks for your comments today.
I'll google carnium now.

JIM, You have earned 100 JaydineBucks for your description of the bubble screen.

Sorry Diana. My spelling stinks. I'll try to use smell check next time.
