Koohii stories:

1) [gorgon] 27-2-2006(207): (I don't like the 'red pepper plant' primative so I just go for standing atop a tree). Here we have the woodcutter standing atop a tree waving his brand new axe. "Look what I got for christmas, yippee!".

2) [fuaburisu] 16-10-2005(66): Axe-man grows a patch of red pepper plants in his back garden. He rubs red peppers on the edge of his axes, and this seems to keep them sharp like brand new.

3) [Angrybeez] 7-4-2009(43): The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Axel Rose form a new band.

4) [Aploosh] 24-6-2007(24): "Great. I'm standing on top of a tree that's about to be cut by an axe. Well, I guess it's time for my NEW life." (Referring to reincarnation).

5) [chibilchan] 4-10-2009(14): Don't confuse left primitive with catalpa (#1498 梓). Every time the farmer cuts down the peppers from the red pepper plant, he has to use a brand new axe. This is because the spicy peppers cause the metal to erode very quickly, thereby rendering the axe completely useless.
