Koohii stories:

1) [wrightak] 27-6-2006(178): The Queen of England taking a walk round a village: 'Excuse me, I couldn't help noticing the splendour of the flowers in your garden. Simply splendid. Ten out of ten.' The villager gruffly replies: 'No it 'aint. It's all muck. An' I'm gonna cut it all down and sell it to the farmer for silage.'.

2) [FudoMyo] 21-11-2007(149): Hint: Splendor in the Grass. Compare with 草 . This is just a more splendid version of that kanji.

3) [jameserb] 6-7-2008(50): In all its splendor a delicate flower arose from the pile of silage on a single needle-think stem.

4) [jabberwockychortles] 28-7-2009(36): I couldn't find the needle in the heap of silage but was surprised to find a flower of great splendor growing there.

5) [sgrant] 27-12-2008(21): The tourist marvels at the splendor of the jungle flowers. Little does she know, the crosshair of a needle-gun is pointing right at her. (As a primitive silage can take the meaning 'crosshair'… for blindingly obvious reasons).
