Koohii stories:

1) [nolusu] 20-6-2009(66): You visit a shrine to say your wishes and offer delicious offering to the gods.

2) [ikmys] 24-7-2007(29): To fat, effete Japanophiles (cheerily munching on 肉まん in the back of the tour bus) hearing the words of the tour guide "Now we will visit a shrine" elicits squeals of joy. "Oooooh, how absolutely delicious!".

3) [kioku3] 25-8-2009(11): On New Year's Day, Japanese people usually read the words written on their New Year's cards (nengajou - 年賀状 ), eat delicious special New Year's foods and visit a shrine to pray for good luck in the coming year (thx mantixen).

4) [Crowfoot] 27-7-2008(5): As a man of reason, Socrates knows the only reason to visit a shrine is for the delicious food.

5) [paasan] 26-7-2010(4): The only reason for me to visit a shrine is to see those deliciously young shrine maidens. Oh, did I say that out loud?
