"...You Look Like One Lau Lau"

An instant classic proverb in Hawaii: Too much kau kau going make you look like one lau lau.

Perfect reminder during this season of food excess! I saw it on a refrigerator magnet by PIDGIN Products of Maui, sold at Maile Meyer's Na Mea Books and Beautiful Things.

Other local-style expressions captured on these magnets:

...Too many square meals going make you look round.

The early boy gets the poi.

Eh, nuff all ready.

And the one I have on my fridge:

No go too fast, try stop and smell the limu.
