Koohii stories:

1) [raulir] 28-4-2006(242): A military leader in his chariot is brandishing his finger at the enemy, crying "chaaaaaaaaarrrgggeeee!".

2) [skinnyneo] 27-9-2007(99): Think of the movie Gladiator but instead Maximus is brandishing a giant foam brand name (nike, rebok, adidas, whatever) finger like you see at a baseball game. He's riding in a chariot using the foam finger to kill his enemy.

3) [yukkuri_kame] 23-7-2009(41): キ　Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French threatened to cut off the middle finger of all captured Englishmen. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow. The longbow was made from the English Yew tree. Drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew". The English won, and have since taunted the French. Here is the English "ARMY" BRANDISHING the FINGER saying "pluck yew!" The reading is ふるうwhich seems not so far off from F.U.

4) [spoonsman] 27-10-2008(22): CHAAAAAAARGE! Brandishing my giant foam finger I charged towards my opponent, speeding forward on my chariot. It's jousting at its finest.

5) [thegeelonghellswan] 21-9-2008(12): You brandish your middle finger at the enemy as you roll through the hood in your chariot… that's how I roll!
