Koohii stories:

1) [dingomick] 19-2-2007(452): The Bamboo Buddhist Temple has bamboo buddhas, bamboo buildings, bamboo benches, bamboo beds, bamboo bowls, etc. etc. etc.

2) [ruisu] 28-11-2007(138): "So what'd you see in Japan?" - "Bamboo, temples…etc.".

3) [bandwidthjunkie] 23-12-2008(16): Two Gods sitting in a pub, one God says to the other; "oh yeah by the way I'm making China today." The other says, "how do you do that then?" God number one replies "oh you know, a bit of bamboo, a few Buddhist temples, etc..." God Two "Not much to it then?" God One "No not really, should be done by lunch time, should leave plenty of time to work on my handicap.".

4) [astgtciv] 12-4-2007(16): One monk at a buddhist temple says to another: "You only have to look at a bamboo grove to understand the meaning of et cetera". "How so?" "There is no single bamboo plant which catches your attention, no main attraction; they are ALL et cetera.".

5) [Rujiel] 19-12-2009(9): This is the suffix you'd use in referring to a group of people in a familiar or condescending way, such as to jokingly imply you feel they come from, say, a bamboo Buddhist temple. (This is the -ら (-ra)　suffix, as in お前ら omaera 、奴ら yatsura 、僕ら bokura, etc.).
