Koohii stories:

1) [dwhitman] 11-12-2007(170): Hustle and bustle = a big St. Bernard dog frisking about in a haystack, knocking it down and spreading the hay about, after the field hands just stacked it up.

2) [matticus] 30-10-2006(90): A bustle is also the name for the big wire-framed skirts that women used to wear. Here's a St. Bernard dog jammed ass-first into the top of a haystack, looking like some kind of proper Victorian-era lady as he struggles to get out.

3) [bihzad] 13-3-2008(73): (note: easier way to remember haystack - it's just as difficult to find a needle in a haystack, even if you use two hands) Farmers hustling and bustling to move big haystacks.

4) [cheechuan] 9-3-2008(41): In the hustle and bustle of NYC, you suddenly find this humongous haystack and a giant St. Bernard sitting on top of it, howling Christmas songs. Nobody even stops to look….only in NYC.

5) [imagia] 27-8-2008(12): - I had trouble using the haystack primitive without "money" as in the following frames, so I've separated the elements out to make sure I don't put "money" into this kanji. Whenever you come across any BUSTLE, there's a simple solution for getting through. Get your St Bernard and prick him with a needle - he'll cut right through the BUSTLE. You just have to hold onto him with two hands!
