Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 7-10-2007(31): I enter a ballot to try to win a melon, but end up with a gourd.

2) [mantixen] 31-7-2009(8): With its protective hard rind, a gourd is a melon used to deposit ballots in during elections.

3) [gavmck] 17-3-2010(4): Melons didn't like being classed botanically as gourds so they had a ballot to change their status.

4) [to_nihon] 10-3-2009(2): I cast my ballot for the girl with the biggest melons, but that gourd-awful woman with the beard won. (Hey, I couldn't think of anything either.).

5) [decals] 14-7-2011(1): FOLLOW THE GOURD! NO, FOLLOW THE MELON!! I guess we'll have to have a ballot to decide which one to make our messiah… If you don't get it, watch the following. Life of Brian: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uywIYQEHZLs.
