Koohii stories:

1) [ikmys] 13-12-2006(278): All those starving models in Hollywood - they want to eat, but their ego (about their appearance and trim look) makes sure they grin and bear it!

2) [richcoop] 8-10-2008(106): He starves for FOOD but his EGO won't let him beg.

3) [Copycatken] 17-7-2006(31): He was starving for food, but he had too much ego and was too proud to ask for food.

4) [crayonmaster] 5-4-2009(18): A group of high class chefs were trapped in a fast food restaurant. They had such a big ego, they refused to eat any hamburgers, and they all starved to death.

5) [zanzibar] 10-6-2009(9): People use the phrase "I'm starving" too casually. They just want some FOOD, and their EGO causes them to magnify their terminology for effect. If they were really to starve, they'd lose their EGOs, and absolutely anything would become FOOD.
