1) [Nukemarine] 28-8-2007(202): LACQUER is a type of WATERY type of liquid used to protect items made from TREES, sort of an UMBRELLA of protection. So protective, you can carry around RICE in the LACQUERED, WOODEN product.

2) [dingomick] 25-12-2006(172): Water is falling from a tree onto the umbrella underneath which is protecting the rice underneath it. But it's completely dry since the umbrella is lacquered.

3) [greenapple] 27-8-2006(33): Water falls from the trees onto my lacquer umbrella and bounces and beads off like grains of rice.

4) [strugglebunny] 12-1-2009(21): Rain drops bounce off lacquered wood like an umbrella having grains of rice poured on it.

5) [delenir] 6-1-2010(9): LACQUER protects your WOODEN products from WATER like an UMBRELLA–the rain will just bounce off of it like RICE.
