Talking with [Unknown site tag], I can kind of see why everyone is going a bit Maoist now. Not that I'm too keen on Mao himself, what, with all of the massacres and such.
I'm not sure I ever explained the ticky box thing. Ticky boxes are those little buttons on a poll that you check for your answer.
Why I put "ticky box!" as an option on every poll is because one can't view poll results at a glance without answering it first. Say I'm throwing up a poll because I can't decide whether I want to dye my hair red, purple, or green. If I check any one of those, it affects the poll results, so I started putting "ticky box!" as a way to not answer my own questions. Of course, it turns out to be the most popular answer have the time, because no one can resist checking a ticky box that's actually labelled "ticky box!"
