Koohii stories:

1) [Istvan] 14-7-2007(111): The Column of 300 spartans were in a delicate situation. They had travelled in one line (using only their legs) to the mountain pass to face the fierce Persian task master.

2) [cingold] 18-9-2009(74): We're going up the mountain announces the taskmaster. Anyone with legs too delicate must stay behind.

3) [misha] 4-10-2007(63): [The sense of delicate implied by this Kanj – easily broken, weak, brittle, insignificant] A column of taskmasters is trying to leg-press one mountain between them. They are old and frail, and their legs skinny and delicate. A single pair of legs wouldn't be able to achive anything in this case. However, together they manage to push the mountain up towards the sky.

4) [decals] 16-11-2008(38): Here we have a taskmaster who orders a mountain to go away. The mountain is so frightened that it sprouts two little delicate legs and gingerly walks away. Be sure to imagine the legs as really tiny and the mountain as really big so the delicate-ness is there.

5) [joesan] 13-10-2007(19): The fellowship of the ring had to move as a column delicately through the mines of moria. The mountain was above them with legs hanging from the ceiling, no doubt left there by the taskmaster they didn't want to awaken.
