Koohii stories:

1) [mantixen] 2-8-2009(41): A samurai wearing a broken crown crafted an inch-thick floor under which to hide with his mouth glued, giving him longevity as his enemies failed to find him.

2) [dihutenosa] 16-8-2008(3): This is an old samurai who's seen a lot of longevity. He has been sitting in the same spot, on his torn Burger King Crown, for ages. He's something of a local landmark, so when a construction site is set up around him, they simply put a ceiling over his head and build around him. A gum company puts him in their CM for Longevity Gum. In the CM, he eats a stick of gum and rambles something foreign (he's actually saying - why are you putting this glue in my mouth?).

5) [alucardchuu] 23-8-2010(1): [+ dihutenosa] This is an old samurai who's seen a lot of longevity. He has been sitting in the same spot, on his torn Burger King Crown, for ages. He's something of a local landmark, so when a construction site is set up around him, they simply put a ceiling over his head and build around him. Despaired, he would like to tell his fellow villagers how many treasures will be destroyed by this massive urbanization movement, but the construction team put glue in his mouth so that he remains silent.
