Koohii stories:

1) [saruwatari] 5-1-2008(202): Any sort of thing can burn in the fire.

2) [sweetneet] 5-2-2009(59): The Japanese are very particular about what SORT OF THINGs are considered BURNable trash and what's not.

3) [dihutenosa] 31-8-2007(41): Somebody from PETA is really angry that they sell dog meat in China, so they've gone to burn down the whole cart (my mnemonic for "sort of thing" was seeing strips of dog flesh roasting, and saying "well, that's just the sort of thing they do here in China).

4) [squeaky_lill_mk] 3-6-2009(28): Fire burns any sort of thing.

5) [howdycowdy] 13-3-2008(22): The "hot diggety dog" sort of thing caught on fire and exploded in the kitchen, causing me to sustain third-degree BURNS all over.
