Koohii stories:

1) [mantixen] 16-2-2007(35): Rather than die, tenacious insects go down into hibernation.

2) [Meconium] 23-2-2010(5): Imagine Jack Black as an insect. "Whoa, that was some good nectar. Well, I'm happy, my belly's round, my band just played a sellout show for the ladybirds (and oh yeah, there were groupies, lemme tell ya)… now it's time for THIS insect to go into hibernation. Scientists call it diapause. Rock.".

3) [woelpad] 28-7-2008(2): The tenacious buddha doesn't seem to care about the insects crawling all over him. I see, he simply went into hibernation.

4) [HolyKotor] 12-12-2011(1): After hanging out with his groupies and living it up for like a week straight, all Jack Black from Tenacious D wants to do is settle into hibernation and sleep it off in peace. Unfortunately for him, though, his bed is full of insects, and the tenacious little buggers won't leave him alone!

5) [blannk] 11-12-2009(1): The poor bear keeps trying to settle into a decent hibernation, but those tenacious insects keep waking him. They're underneath his round bottom now, disturbing his happiness. Shoo!
