Koohii stories:

1) [decamer0n] 7-5-2007(141): To tenderize meat in an emergency wilderness situation, just utilize your walking stick!

2) [dwhitman] 20-12-2007(115): I'll confuse this with use (#990 使), so build a distinction right from the start. For me, "utilize" has an artificial, business-speak connotation; you only utilize "utilize" when you're trying to puff up what you're saying and sound important. So: "BioTools Inc introduces the FG2000 screwdriver, utilizing the our latest FleshGrip(tm) technology!" I'm seeing this as a picture of a stubby screwdriver with a handle made of flesh, a short shaft, and prongs to hold a screw in place until you drive it.

3) [nmkohi] 4-4-2006(74): When your flesh is weak you must utilize a walking stick.

4) [Zarxrax] 18-5-2008(35): We have to utilize different tools for different jobs. If some object in your kitchen needs to be be screwed, you would utilize a screwdriver. If your woman needs to be screwed, you would utilize your meat stick.

5) [ihatobu] 10-10-2008(27): NASA utilizes a giant laser to cut the moon in half. Very shortly, the Earth will have two companion moons.
