Koohii stories:

1) [johnskb] 1-5-2006(168): Mr. T is certainly an ADMIRABLE PERSON, so much so that parents are buying lockets with his picture in it and having their children wear them like amulets.

2) [nest0r] 21-2-2008(79): For locket: The locket (key dangling from something, the vertical stroke) opens like a mouth, but you need a jeweler's monocle to make out the pictures within. —– Dracula survives a staking attempt when the locket with Mina's admirable picture deflects the blow. "It was an admirable attempt," he admits as he sucks his attacker's blood.

3) [Codexus] 21-1-2008(52): Stroke order: Heisig says that the added vertical stroke is the third stroke, but it's the first of primitive (so it's the third of this kanji, but in the book he's talking about the primitive).

4) [akrodha] 23-5-2007(39): She thought that Mr. T was a tough, heartless guy, but then she found out that he carries around a locket with a picture of his daughter. Suddenly, she found it admirable that he had such a soft side.

5) [brose] 17-2-2007(14): Hint: locket = I (#17 吾) + sunglasses with one of the lenses popped out with the top line of 五 left off. えらい。.
