Koohii stories:

1) [felicitygreen] 27-4-2006(185): Refined rice [1535] can only be found in exclusive grocery shops. Coarse rice by contrast fills the supermarket shelves - don't go looking for anything else there.

2) [blaked569] 22-3-2009(140): Ugh, why does this shelf feel so coarse? Because it's made of rice, of coarse! Get it? Of coarse?? Hahahahahahahahahah god i hate my life.

3) [raulir] 30-12-2006(37): In America they sell coarse rice on the shelves. The Japanese are much more discriminating, as they eat rice all the time, so they want finer rice.

4) [decals] 22-2-2009(20): Japanese carpenters don't use sandpaper, they use rice-paper(rice glued on to some paper). Here the carpenter is using the coarse paper to smooth out the shelf he's making.

5) [firion1234] 18-3-2010(10): "RICE is not nice," said the CAT IN THE HAT, "it is much to COARSE, like food for a horse.".
