Koohii stories:

1) [nilfisq] 14-8-2007(189): The gay parade looks astonishing, as if overgrown with flowers.

2) [dihutenosa] 29-8-2007(108): When your garden gets OVERGROWN, it's like the plants are mocking you. Here, you can see the roses actually parading around the yard, wilfully choking out the other, more docile plants. Then they actually go and parade down the street!

3) [Francois] 11-3-2008(90): At the flower parade, (hippies' parade) all I can see is walking masses of overgrown hair!

4) [kanjihito] 3-1-2010(40): It's important that the word overgrown leads to the elements, rather than have the elements lead to overgrown as I see too often in the other examples. So I turned one of the other stories around. STORY: OVERGROWN hair appears the most in a FLOWER power PARADE (of the hippies in the late 60's).

5) [stephan] 3-10-2008(28): I use scythe as a primitive instead of parade. A scythe is like a spear (see [356]) whose tip has been bent to use for scything. When flowers have overgrown your front yard, use a scythe to cut them!
