Let's Hear it for Lesotho!
C'mon people... EVERY country needs it's own thread, so let's share the love with Lesotho next! Please share all the nice things you can about the country of Lesotho! (Especially you South Africans!)

Oh... and I think they pronounce it: "Le-SOO-too"... is that right, anyone who knows for certain? I just figured we'd get threads for every single country though, until we got to a place like Lesotho... so I just decided to shortcut the process... rather than go through: Australia, Sweden, Canada, Norway, New Zealand, Denmark, etc... even *gasp* Belgium!!

IRex, that's so funny! I wonder if it's "fer real"?
Even if it's not, it cracked me up!

I'm not sure whether I even know where Lesotho IS. But then I was never the geographical know-it-all.

You can say something about the Belgium Beer - then we can put the Belgium discussion to bed. Then we'll move onto Sweden.

I think it's pronounced Le-zoe-tho.
Why shouldn't it have a rah rah thread? Funny lampoon though.

Lesotho is a monarchy. The PM is actually appointed by the king from the parliament.
I don't know Lesotho at all, I have no opinion on it. |

Yeah, Belgium is really interesting. Their history (including that of their kings) is fascinating! Their chocolate is the best! Their people are top sportsplayers!
But of course Sweden is ruddy brilliant too. And Finland and South Africa. (And Lesotho)Heh, Nurv, every country needs its own rah-rah thread. |

It really seems like I should start that thread.. So everyone could express their (positive) feelings 'bout some country. Otherwise we'll have A LOT of these threads.
Maybe I should start a Why everyone just looooooves Finland-thread instead..
