Koohii stories:

1) [to_nihon] 1-12-2008(53): Little known fact: Tom Cruise turns into a merman at night, scaled like a fish and everything. Weird.

2) [cb4960] 15-10-2007(39): A scaled fish goes to a shoeshine place to get his scales shined up to impress the lady fish. (Shoeshines will shine up any type of scaled creature, including but not limited to fish and dragons).

3) [adrianbarritt] 1-11-2007(8): Tom Cruise scaled down his public display of affection after his appearance on Oprah looked a bit fishy.

4) [zanzibar] 22-3-2009(5): TOM CRUISE has to wear the scaled costume of a FISH for his next role.

5) [dukelexon] 3-3-2008(3): Fish are often served completely whole, head and all, in Japan … this tends to make trendy Americans in sunglasses squeamish, however, as it makes it plainly obvious that the animal was scaled. Chopped up and deep-fried into unrecognizable nuggets … that's how we like our meat!
