07.26.2011: Wheaton’s Law Logo Needlepoint Inchie
ETA: Due to several requests, I have posted supply kits so you can stitch your own Wheaton’s Law inchie, as well as the option to purchase a stitched inchie, in my Etsy store. Thank you everyone for your interest in Dickery prevention!
Yep, still thinking about Wheaton’s Law (Don’t Be A Dick) - yesterday’s inchie is cute, but not something I can hang in my office at work (yes, I think I would get in trouble for having something that says “dick” 1/4 of an inch tall, even though I have seen several naked asses posted at someone else’s desk. *sigh*). So, today’s inchie is my concept for a logo for some Wheaton’s Law-related foundation – the “Don’t Be A Dick Foundation” (that one took a lot of thought!) or maybe “People For The Reduction Of General Dickery”. (Feel free to post your own suggestion for a DBAD foundation name below – my Sake-befuddled brain can’t seem to come up with any more). My job often involves telling people things they don’t want to hear, and I sometimes need a reminder myself to not be a dick about it. I may not be able to control anyone else’s dickery, but I can prevent my own.
I decided on flag colors for this one because all you need to do is turn on the news to see that, as a country, we need a reduction in general dickery. I think we should make not being a dick a patriotic movement.
Stitched with Light, Dragon’s Blood and Snow Moon on 18 count mono canvas.
Most guys won’t belong to a group that has both dick and reduction in its name. So I’d favor NAAND National Association for the Advancement of Non-Dickery.
I didn’t think of that – thanks for the tip Jonathan! Also, A+ for coming up with an acronym-friendly name for our non-existent foundation
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!
A NAAND in the hand is worth two in the… oh, never mind.
I see what you did there
DaBAD is good.

“My job often involves telling people things they don’t want to hear, and I sometimes need a reminder myself to not be a dick about it”
Assumption 1) They did something “dickish” themselves, or else you would not have be “telling people things they don’t want to hear”
Assumption 2) You are unhappy when you have to “be a dick”
Conclusion: Dickery Begets A Dickhead (DBAD).
Assumption 1 is close, but it’s more often that they are attempting to do something not-quite-legal, rather than strictly disckish
Disclaimer: it is 3 am and I am laying awake after nightmares.
I love you. I love this. It speaks in dulcet tones to my geeky, yarn-covered heart. Which makes it sound like I made a heart cozy. Hrm. Anyway, Mr. Wheaton is one of my heroes, and Wheaton’s Law is a standby. Clearly I need to knit something with this logo on it. From handspun Shetland wool from my sheep.
I love you too sunshine
Ridiculous Internet Campaign Against Rampant Dickery?
DoBAD (DOn’t Be A Dick)?
CRUDE (Campaign for the Reduction of Useless Dickery Everywhere)?
I think CRUDE is my favorite – nice ones Jon!
