Koohii stories:

1) [nest0r] 9-11-2007(345): At the meeting of butchers, in their narrow state of mind, they throw lame jokes around like, 'Oh hello, it's a pleasure to meat you', and find this rather pleasing.

2) [Kurisu] 13-5-2008(77): Image : Data attending a meeting of the butchers union. As a joke to begin his speech he says, 'Its a pleasure to MEAT you all.' (thanx to Shibo & nestOr).

3) [Danieru] 20-5-2008(62): Manson? Bundy? Jack the Ripper? Whichever killer or butcher brings to mind the most graphic image (maybe a meeting of all of them?) - you won't forget this kanji as you peer into their deranged state of mind: can't you just see their vacant stares and smiles on their faces, while they takes great PLEASURE in plying their trade? Creepy.

4) [matticus] 17-11-2005(27): A meeting of butchers has dissolved into an orgy of blood-squirting violence. But since the killing state of mind is the highest pleasure a butcher can experience, they are all smiles.

5) [Raichu] 29-11-2009(22): Pleasure is the state of mind when flesh meets flesh (especially when one flesh is sabre-like).
