Koohii stories:

1) [noname] 26-2-2008(158): TWO twin BROTHERS are competing (VYING) for the title of who is the older BROTHER. The game is that they must balance a VASE on their head and the one who drops his looses and becomes the younger BROTHER!

2) [mbagsh55] 18-9-2007(66): Two crazy brothers vying for the guiness records books of stupidity by trying to stand on their heads the longest.

3) [tummai] 23-6-2008(31): Roman times. Coliseum. Two teenagers with vases of acid strapped to their heads. They vie with one another, each trying to break the vase on their opponent's head. Imagine what happens to the loser when his vase breaks. To avoid confusion with "contend", "war", etc, remember that Vie and Vase both start with "v".

4) [rhclaghorn] 26-12-2007(26): Twin brothers lined up side to side, each VIE to stand taller than the other.

5) [stupiddog] 31-5-2009(10): My two elder brothers vied to impress the same girl by singing under her window. Unimpressed by the performance, both of her neighbours dropped their vases on them.
