Make sure the ⅘ circle is large enough so you can stand in it. Step 1a. When the pants come to you at around 3:14 am to 4:58 am they will try to slide through the gap in the circle.

There’s a Dr. Seuss story called “What was I Scared of?” in which a small, pale yellow bear creature is walking through a darkened wood on a moonlit night. On the walk, the bear creature runs into a pair of lime green sentient pants. The pants proceed to chase the bear creature, follow him around town on a bicycle, and break his sanity. Brian, am I to believe that this story is a cautionary tale of jort-making gone-wrong? What could the poor bear creature have done to prevent this terrible haunting? Do you have anything to do with this story? Please let me know. -Scared in Baltimore

as a 40-year jorts evangelist i though i knew all of the jortmanteaus, but this nightmare trek into the jubconscious of a fellow jortsperson taught me a new one: jorrifying.

[@pizzacoma7613]

As a younger jort enthusiast, I can still remember how jortifying it felt to realize just how little I truly understood of jortdom when compared to a master jortist, such as Brian David Gilbert, Safety Fan and Bureaucratic Wunderkind. Journey to Jorts brought that feeling back, and let me realize that life's too jort not to seek out the magical mysteries of the jortiverse. Splendid!
