Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 13-2-2008(328): I bounce down the road on my pogo stick, easily getting through the dense traffic. (Note: New primitive: chop-seal + utilize = pogo stick. Because a chop-seal is long and thin with a rubbery bit at the end. If it were big enough, you could utilize it as a pogo stick). [Edit: pogo stick also appears in 1409, 1690, 2530].

2) [fuaburisu] 7-7-2006(45): Building on gorgon's story I now change mine to a much more silly and rememberable one. The Chinese police is using a helicopter to check and regulate the traffic. Hanging from the helicopter is a huge chopseal that they utilize to mark some of the cars that are causing trouble on the road.

3) [stshores24] 3-9-2008(22): MA (マ) drinks one too many screwdrivers and then drives off down the road. Unfortunately, she's so inebriated she causes a traffic accident.

4) [jotun] 1-6-2008(12): They have built a new road downtown. It bypasses all the traffic. If your papers have been chop sealed, you can utilize it.

5) [vosmiura] 20-11-2007(8): Same as Katsuo, but I remember "utilize" better as "philips screw driver". A long screw driver with a chop-seal on the end makes an interesting pogo stick.
