Koohii stories:

1) [RoboTact] 28-7-2007(139): All stamps in Mr T's collection box are lied carefully face-up.

2) [Filip] 29-2-2008(128): Mr T with the post package at the post office: 'these stamps don't stick to the box, foo' Postguy:' Try it again but this time with the stamp, face-up.'.

3) [rgravina] 12-9-2006(26): Chuck Norris always plays poker with his cards face-up because he can't be beat anyway. Try and cheat and you'll end up the recipient of a roundhouse kick to the head and will leave the room in a box with a stamp addressed to the local morge.

4) [chamcham] 12-10-2006(21): A person who is a stamp collector has all of the stamps face-up in their box.

5) [Nuriko] 29-3-2008(16): If you're using "chikan" for the small box + stamp primitive, here's a story for you: chikan's trip in the small box with the stamps all over it is getting boring… good thing he's laying face-up though and has a flashlight with him, because he's pasted pictures of Mr. T to the roof of the box. That's his idol who he looks up to in awe, and never grows tired of looking at him (this covers both meanings Heisig mentioned).
