Koohii stories:

1) [mspertus] 26-12-2006(142): Long ago our ancestors set aside the use of fingers and began to use cutlery. (Raichu,11-7-2006) The way I remember it's 昔 once upon a time (#1184 昔) rather than 旧 olden times (#35 旧) is that they began to use cutlery to eat salad. (I also think about how when you visit the Medieval Times theme park, which is set in Once upon a time, their gimmick is that you eat with your fingers.).

2) [Spidercat] 8-2-2008(119): "Once upon a time…" Oh hell, you're just too old for this. You close your fairy tale book and set it aside, pushing it away with your fingers.

3) [billyclyde] 13-8-2007(53): To set aside in the sense of giving it up. We set aside childish things, namely, those ONCE UPON A TIME stories we grew up with– though those stories' faeries and Disney tinkerbells come up to us, we brush them away with our FINGERS, once after another, but they keep coming, not wanting to be set aside– so we flick them away!

4) [jameserb] 27-4-2008(26): Once upon a time, I set aside my fingers and began using chopsticks. The rest is history…..no more sticky fingers.

5) [Raichu] 11-7-2006(14): Long ago our ancestors set aside the use of fingers and began to use cutlery.
