Koohii stories:

1) [wingedge] 22-12-2007(207): "Sunglasses-missing-one-lens" is obviously the monocle. The proper, high-class way to descend The Pinnacle is wearing a monocle with your walking legs splayed to a full gentlemanly stride.

2) [Megaqwerty] 30-5-2007(33): After a cool, hip businessman angered the executives at The Pinnacle, they beat him up, popping out a lens from his sunglasses, and tossed out the window, head first, walking legs second. One executive later commented, "It was like he was descending into Hell from Heaven!".

3) [dingomick] 2-1-2007(27): To descend from The Pinnacle you must walk down the stairs with your sunglasses-missing-one-lense on.

4) [SammyB] 27-8-2008(18): Used in 降りる 【おりる】（to alight or get off - e.g. from a bus). So here we have a tour bus arriving at the acropolis: Everyone descends from the bus, stretches their walking legs and puts on their monocles. (EDIT: fixed up primitives).

5) [mikedough2] 24-1-2008(16): A Yakuza member descending down from the pinnacle with limping walking legs and a lens from his sunglasses missing. He tried to break into the resort but the security threw him out.
