Koohii stories:

1) [rtkrtk] 20-1-2008(222): Distinguish from formerly (#501 曽). Think of previously as "the previous customer" in a restaurant. At a cheap sleazy diner, the waitress gives you unwashed silverware that was previously used by the previous customer. Yuck.

2) [Virtua_Leaf] 8-1-2008(78): For the waitress primitive, I don't really see the receipt. So instead, I imagine a waitress holding a plate above her head, using those legs to weave through the tables.

3) [jotun] 2-6-2008(31): Previously on The Silver Surfer. The Silver Surfer took the Silver Waitress back to his place. Now we get to see what happens next.

4) [synewave] 14-1-2007(28): Previously -> previews at the movies. Almost all the actresses on the silver screen previously were waitresses. Story by mspertus.

5) [decamer0n] 20-6-2007(24): Previously, we left some silver on the table for the waitress.
