Koohii stories:

1) [gorgon] 1-3-2006(182): A cold lunch: in the house, celery, pre cooked animal legs (i.e. chicken drumsticks) and ice tea.

2) [akrodha] 16-5-2007(104): Some strange animal tried to steal a stalk of celery from my house. However, it was freezing and the floor was covered in ice, so the mysterious animal couldn't get any traction. Picture a stalk of celery and a pair of animal legs slipping and sliding clumsily around the ice, and never able to leave the house. Eventually it got so cold that the little animal froze to death.

3) [ghinzdra] 1-2-2008(76): The story of gordon is really great except that there is a tremendous mistake : this kanji is used for the weather , the temperature (samui 寒い ) …. not for the feeling to the touch : for this one it's tsumetai 冷たい cool (#1404 冷) the jap HOUSE are infamous for being insanely cold . How much cold ? you don't even need a freezer for keeping your CELERY . Worse it's this much cold that there is some ICE on the floor and that you must have arched ANIMAL LEGS like pingoo for moving without falling.

4) [nest0r] 5-2-2008(40): Did you ever see that Tom and Jerry episode where they made it so cold that the inside of the house became a winter wonderland, and Jerry grabbed some celery and used his animal legs to skate and sled around on the ice? It was a real celery-bration, ha ha… ha..

5) [Zareon] 31-3-2007(31): When it's freezing cold outside (ice everywhere), it's best to stay in the house, eating celery (winter vegetable) and wear your bunny slippers (animal legs).
