Koohii stories:

1) [rizzo] 7-2-2006(244): Melancholy makes me think of Hamlet cause he was so 'emo'. In order to play up his feelings he bares his head and holds his crown over his heart then walks (on walking legs) around the palace making everyone see how melancholy he is. What a wuss.

2) [howdycowdy] 24-3-2008(155): This is an image of the crucifixion. Jesus is on the cross. His crown of thorns has slipped down and is around his neck, right between his head and his heart. His walking legs can be seen dangling from the cross as well. How MELANCHOLY!

3) [Katsuo] 12-11-2007(114): In the middle of summer you lose both your crown and your heart. No wonder you feel melancholy.

4) [FutureBlues] 16-7-2008(43): In the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, reality was all in her head, leading to situations where her melancholic feelings in her heart would be released into bubble-like crowns of negative space where they'd walk around on their legs and wreck havoc.

5) [skinnyneo] 24-9-2007(26): The most melancholy places of all is a funeral. This is a funeral for the Burger King guy, where everybody takes the paper crowns that they were given off of their head and covers their heart with it. Each person then uses their walking legs to come up to the casket and throw in a whopper.
