Koohii stories:

1) [noname] 12-3-2008(392): In this kanji, you can see 3 katakana characters: ソ, ユ, and then ユ again followed by TAIL FEATHERS. STORY: "So (ソ) you (ユ) wanna DO it?" "Only if you (ユ) do" says the female bird as she raises her TAIL FEATHERS.

2) [zazen666] 12-10-2007(42): Do me from behind, says the bird, as she shakes her tailfeathers.

3) [Alunalun] 11-8-2009(20): Tell a story - a reluctant magician is asked to do a trick. The audience chant 'Do it, do it!', so eventually he does one. He takes a drop of water (stroke 1), drops it on the ground where it runs down and smears out (stroke 2). It drops down two steps (strokes 3 and 4) (imagine some nice setting with steps), growing and becoming multicoloured, like a petrol drop, as it goes. Then at the bottom the magician touches it with his wand and you see it has turned into a set of peacock's tail feathers.

4) [gavin.schultz-ohkubo] 20-11-2010(12): The keyword "do" is just too generic for me, so I use "for the sake of", which is perhaps a more common reading; for those familiar with the phrase ために, I believe this is the kanji for ため.

5) [sgrant] 18-1-2009(9): "I do!" says the bride before tripping over a spear, falling down the stairs and into the flames.
