Koohii stories:

1) [smithsonian] 15-11-2006(208): When I put the turkey over the oven fire, it always ends up being charred beyond recognition. I'm not a very good cook.

2) [tcjeff] 7-6-2008(67): Char could be any meat over oven fire. So why is it a turkey in this kanji? Because charred turkey is what sticks out most in your mind as the thing that ruined Thanksgiving dinner.

3) [DrJones] 22-12-2007(26): We see here the roadrunner, running so fast that it chars the ground beneath it, leaving a trace of fire.

4) [zardoz73] 21-8-2008(19): Turkey is not very common in Japan. (found only in Subway sandwiches!) So when Japanese try to barbecue turkey on the grill, they always char the meat. masaka!.

5) [Apple_Head] 2-10-2009(10): Unfortunately, Ash Ketchum's charmander sucked so bad it devolved into a charturkey. Charmander has flames on its tail, charturkey has flames on its butt.
