To whit, they shall be placed before the item to be ticked, and not after. The UN says so.

Okay, that just gave me a very bizarre mental image moment. In the vein of Worldcon, Dragoncon, Readercon etc., now we have ... Tickycon! I wonder what sort of panels there'd be?

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

copperbadge will be chairing the panel entitled WILDEBEEST!

Would that be with the subtitle: "Tickybox Gnu-How"?

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

He is a Grand Master of Tickyboxes, after all.

Oh, so that entitles him to wear the Great Horny Hat of Gnuuuuum, then.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

I wonder if he wears it over, or under, or interchangeably with, the Safety Captain's Hat?

[niamh-sage.livejournal.com]

Well if he wears it under, then he can perch the Safety Captain's Hat on one of the horns...

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

Fetching!

Absognutely.
