Watch this if you can't remember the 較 kanji:




Quote:The people I had invited to the party were mingling quite well with one another, until they all suddenly started talking about the cars they own. Pretty soon the crowd divided itself into distinct, contrasting crowds: rich snobs with fancy cars, soccer moms with minivans, and hippies with bicycles.
(not my story, but "my" youtube clip) Smile

I have to say I am going to remember this one before I even get to it. Brilliant use of the image that the elements create and very creative. Whoever reported it really wants to chill out.

And I note, as you did, that it had 11 strokes. I expect to see some conspiracy Youtube videos covering this startling fact popping up very soon Wink

Indeed. When I got to this one, this was definitely the best story and I simply had to use it. I won't forget it now. Smile

Well, I was hoping to find more "yo momma" jokes after (for 肪) "Yo momma so OBESE, she make the MOON change DIRECTION!" But I found that stories that sound like cheesy commercials stick the best in my head, such as the one I copied (for 歳), "It's the YEAR-END sale! STOP what you're doing and MARCH on down here! Hurry, there is LITTLE time left!"

So I made up my own for 融: "Having household pest problems? Hear the words of my ONE MOUTH, O hard-working housewives! Put on your BELT, get your HUMAN LEGS moving on down to your friendly local hardware store, go past the aisle with the SPIKEs, and buy INSECT-B-Gone! Those nasty critters will DISSOLVE from your sight within hours!"

True, another one that's almost like a novel, but then again Heisig says that this one is pretty much a record in terms of number of primitives. Smile
