Koohii stories:

1) [Aerin] 15-4-2008(31): My friend's new dangly earrings are interesting–cacti strung together with butterfly cocoons.

2) [icamonkey] 4-1-2010(4): Strung together, with no ears to hear for predators, the cocoons rest on the cacti for safety.

3) [kapalama] 18-8-2011(3): 聯邦 =連邦, 聯盟 =連盟, 聯合 =連合, 連合艦隊 =聯合艦隊 strung together (#2676 聯) レン( 連 ) … Parts: 耳 , 幺, 幺, Cactus (cf 滋賀県 nourishing (#1388 滋), 慈しむ mercy (#1389 慈), 關東軍 (Kwantung Army)Unicode-0x95dc (#38364 關)) … Note: old alternate version of modern 連 take along (#287 連) … Story: When the Doubly mysterious man took off his hats, I could see his large Ears and his Cactus legs. He lost a bunch of weight recently so his 4X size pants are now 4Y and have to be Strung Together tightly to keep from fallling down.

4) [herman] 1-1-2009(2): I picture a bunch of ears strung together on a string hung on a cactus that's got two cocoons on top of it. Weird image but I can't think of anything better.

5) [decals] 13-1-2011(1): The criminal refused to be taken along 連 by the police．He just put his hands on his ears and shouted: "I can't hear you!" over and over. "We'll have to do this the old fashioned way 聯 ," said the police officer. Two cocoons were then shoved in the man's mouth to shut him up and he and the police car were strung together. They dragged him across a desert and over many spiky cacti. "Should have just been taken along 連 , wise guy.".
