Koohii stories:

1) [raulir] 27-12-2006(239): Bonsais are grown in a house, away from the harsh reality of the real world where they wouldn't survive.

2) [vosmiura] 12-12-2007(104): On this rather boring 'big brother' type reality show, they have locked up bonsai inside a house and everyone is watching them on TV 24x7. The viewers have to vote on which bonsai shall remain in the house and which one has to leave.

3) [ayoung24] 13-10-2006(27): (adapted from PepeSeco) In a new TV reality show called bonsai house, participants are challenged to grow the best bonsai. It takes years to make just one episode!

4) [Shibo] 7-6-2008(14): Mr. Miyagi is on a new reality TV show, House of Miyagi. 20 aspiring martial artists have to wash and clean an old house, while growing their own bonsai. Of course, their Bonsai don't come out very well, since they're novices. (I'm trying to differentiate this bonsai from the rest of the ones we've learned as being a messed up bonsai.. Notice the last stroke doesn't connect to the 2nd stroke of the kanji, but the 3rd instead.).

5) [jabberwockychortles] 1-7-2009(12): The reality is that most bonsai don't do well in the house.
