carp

On-Yomi: リ — Kun-Yomi: こい

Elements:

carp, fish, bound up, rice field, brains, oven-fire, barbecue, computer

Heisig story:

These are the same carp you see in Japanese "carp streamers." Only here we find a small home computer or two strung on the line by a father anxious for his son not only to have the courage and determination of a carp swimming upstream, but also the efficiency and memory of a computer. Ugh.

Koohii stories:

1) [sethimayne] 29-9-2007(224): Japanese carp are massive fish - they are measured in ri!

2) [colonel32] 11-10-2006(133): Robocarp!!! Part fish, part computer! Visualise him flapping and clanking down the street, with bullets richoting off his scaly armour.

3) [Branduil] 3-3-2006(79): The fish got carpal tunnel syndrome from the computer(I know it's lame but it's hard to find a good story for this).

4) [gringozolano] 5-4-2008(31): In front of my parents' home is a fish pond full of carp.

5) [alanj] 7-9-2008(27): Bad pun: Japanese carp are fish that grow RI-ly big! :-).
