Koohii stories:

1) [jaresty] 17-2-2008(51): Tom Cruise's shoes caught on fire, because he was using phosphorous to shine them.

2) [Katsuo] 6-10-2007(16): The shoeshiner always starts by cleaning the shoes first with phosphorus. This is a bit risky, though, and he sets himself on fire (picture him running around in flames).

3) [koohiikun] 20-5-2010(11): A phosphorus fire engulfs Tom Cruise during a bizarre scientology rite.

4) [cb4960] 15-10-2007(6): For really high quality shoeshines, the shoe shiner will rub phosphorus into your shoes. Afterwards, they will be so bright that they will appear to be on fire.

5) [raulir] 18-12-2006(6): When you see that someone's American sunglasses are on fire, he's probably put some phosphorus on them to for added Coolness(TM) effect (like 隣 is a neighbor who thinks American sunglasses are the pinnacle of coolness).
