Koohii stories:

1) [darg_sama] 2-11-2005(158): This represents a stern looking owl, perched up on a cliff. This cliff is quite famous for daring individuals to cliff dive off of, but is any of them daring enough to threaten the owl?

2) [Filip] 9-3-2008(70): ( 厳しい strict; stern ) You remember of course the daring fella who had his ear pierced and went standing in front of the taskmaster. The taskmasters punishment was very stern/strict. Fella thrown of the cliff, where the owls are ready to feast. No funny guy doing that anymore.

3) [genbaku] 22-1-2008(29): The owl gives a stern warning to any animal that dare pass under the cliff.

4) [radical_tyro] 18-7-2007(17): The owl said to Howard Stern, "I dare you to jump off this cliff!" Stern, with spike in ear, accepted the dare.

5) [zanzibar] 3-5-2009(11): The stern OWL parent throws his young off the CLIFF to test their DARING.
