Koohii stories:

1) [ceeeps] 28-11-2007(162): Imagine tall children sitting round the fire toasting marsh-mellows.

2) [Danieru] 4-12-2007(107): The cram school (309) tortures its students - especially the tall and fat ones who need to grow up - over a fire until they mellow. (Note that here the keyword 'mellow' only means to mature, ripen, or acquire skill; not the colloquial meaning of 'chill out').

3) [metacall] 27-12-2007(30): Mello, from Death Note, was the more fiery student at the cram school (#309 塾)-like orphanage. He received a well rounded education there, in order to succeed L.
