Koohii stories:

1) [decamer0n] 10-5-2007(140): Well, there are weekdays weekday (#576 曜) and there are laundry days laundry (#577 濯), and on February 29th leap day, the manufacturer recommends servicing or replacing your peg leg because they tend to wear out every 4 years.

2) [pm215] 19-4-2008(120): [Story for people following katsuo in making feathers+turkey a 'futon' primitive] If you're going to leap from a high place, better hope there's a futon below – otherwise you're going to break your leg at the very least…

3) [Katsuo] 31-8-2010(80): Tip: feathers + turkey : This combination of primitives appears six times in Heisig, so it's worthwhile giving it a name. I suggest "futon" (your futon is made from turkey feathers). REF: weekday (#576 曜) , laundry (#577 濯), leap (FRAME 1285), outstanding (#2272 擢), twinkle (#2534 燿), shimmering (#2880 耀). Story: I leap out of bed so fast that my wooden leg gets left behind in the futon.

4) [marydj] 2-11-2007(41): The turkey with a peg leg is trying to leap across the canyon. He flaps his wings wildly and feathers fly but he doesn't make it.

5) [aircawn] 20-12-2006(30): I've always imagined a leap involving one leg instead of two, which would be a jump. Using your only good leg for propulsion, not the pegleg, you try to leap over the canyon. Even with the aid of feathers, you fly like a turkey and fall like stone. This is very Roadrunneresque.
