Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 9-2-2007(50): This one rhymes: "If you fights wiz Cassius Clay, you'll hit the soil, boy, straightaway!".

2) [aircawn] 31-10-2007(12): A special type of clay, this soil will cook into porcelain straightaway.

3) [Nukemarine] 21-6-2008(7): Thanks to Aircawn: CLAY is pretty simple. It comes from the SOIL naturally. You'll make something pretty with it then STRAIGHTAWAY you must heat it to make it hold it's shape.

4) [spleenlol] 19-7-2010(6): Just as plants don't become trees straightaway (Ref: plant (#205 植)), soil doesn't become clay straightaway.

5) [eckbw] 4-7-2011(1): Clay comes from the soil and you need to form it into something straightaway or it´ll dry up and become unusable. Onyomi ショク.
