What? It's sooo catchy!!! I sing it all the time now and people ask me 'what the heck are you singing?!'

[jensformer]

Can I watch the episodes online anywhere?!

[The86416]

It's Laos, pronounced 'Lao' like the people, not 'Louse'.

'Laos' is a French term meaning 'all the Lao people'. Last time I looked the French don't generally pronounce 's' at the end of a word.

Geddit?

Anyway. Get some Lao Hai down yer necks. Or does LP still tell you unwashed backpackers that you must heed their oh so insightful advice?
