Koohii stories:

1) [aircawn] 20-10-2006(256): Pining, yearn for… etc. Presumably for lost love. An easy one here, someone standing in the graveyard, placing an old valentine card amonst all the existing tributes.

2) [fuaburisu] 21-10-2005(54): Morticia and Gomez (of the “Addams Family”) are spending their Valentine's Day at the graveyard, pining for each other's affection.

3) [astridtops] 11-6-2006(25): Remember the dead parrot from Monty Python's parrot's sketch? The shop owner said that the Norwegian Blue was pining for the fjords! But of course it should have been put in the graveyard already. Poor buyer, he meant to give the bird away as a valentine present…

4) [szreter] 15-2-2008(22): I am in the graveyard pining for my lost valentine.

5) [SammyB] 17-6-2008(15): Imagine an 'emo' kid pining away in a graveyard because his valentine didn't turn up… His emo make-up is running because he's crying now. (Emo kids like to hang out in graveyards 'because it's cool' or something and they were going to have a date there).
