Would someone please, _please_, PLEEEEEEEEZE sneak up behind him and just squeeze one off into his skull? For his own good?

He's gone way past pathetic, and it sure doesn't look like the producers are gonna give him a break, does it?

It'd be a kindness................

It's possible that we may be working our way to world without Bill... has anyone noticed that over the last couple seasons he's just gotten more and more pathetic? We almost lost him at Christmas though. We must ask ourselves, what would the world be like without Bill? Who would dig through the Hill's garbage?

He's gotten really dumb as well. Would anyone _really_ eat hormone- laced dog biscuits?

It's just plumb pitiful.............if Bill was a dog, Hank woulda taken him out back and Done the Right Thing a long time ago..........

I think he'd be happier "havin' wings" like Buckley.......then he could hover over Peggy all day and all night........she might wonder why she gets the heebie-jeebies taking a shower, though.......

There's still the big fertility-clinic mixup to resolve. Surely you've noticed that Bobby looks just like the young Bill in flashbacks and not much like the young Hank. And Bobby's not the only kid on the show not to look much like his dad. Hark back to the Beavis and Butt-Head fertility-clinic episode for ideas on how it might have happened. And how come Bill knew Bobby's middle name and Bobby didn't?

"That boy ain't right." (And Lady Bird isn't all that bright, either.)

(And who says she doesn't get the heebie-jeebies now. They showed Bill looking in the window when they first got Lady Bird, and they show Dale Gribble living on that side of the house at least half the time. Peggy can't drop the soap without someone knowing about it.)

I thought G.H. looked a lot like Cotton, and I was never struck by any resemblance between Bobby as a baby and Cotton, though they are about the same size and shape, I'll concede readily.

I hope you're not insinuating that Bobby is actually Bill's son through some fertility clinic mix up. I'm pretty sure Hank and Peggy got Bobby the natural way. Now if Peggy had a drunken roll in the hay with good old Bill, that's a different story.

Why not. Bobby ain't right and Bill ain't right. They looked a lot alike in the scene by the back fence (is that the same episode as the dog-biscuit incident?). The young Bill in flashbacks bears a striking resemblance to the current Bobby. Bobby once publicly thanked Hank for raising him, though he wasn't his biological child. Mike Judge has done episodes in fertility clinics in both _Beavis and Butt-Head_ and _King of the Hill_. Where's the stretch?

Making the jump into cartoon mentality, that may be what Hank thinks. Hank thinks he has a narrow urethra. If you check where the urethra goes, one narrow enough to stop all sperm from getting out would also make urination mighty uncomfortable. Hank's story is that buying Lady Bird was sufficient incentive for his urethra to relax and to allow the one fertilization, but no other. Hank is known to be against _in vitro_ fertilization, and Peggy is known to be willing to give it a try. Now it is true enough that a narrow urethra may be cartoon metaphor for two parallel cases of a narrow vas deferens, but the dog connection is a bit of a stretch for me, and I don't think Peggy is above keeping an extra visit to the fertility clinic secret from Hank when it gave her a chance to have a baby after seven or eight years of marriage. I don't think Bill would mind helping however he could, and he certainly takes an active interest in Bobby's upbringing.

I don't think Peggy's ever been _that_ drunk.

Damn!! You know your stuff. The episode where Bobby thanked Hank for raising him was after Hank had him so twisted in the head from all the stories he told M.F. Thatherton, that Bobby thought Hank was in a Mexican P.O.W. camp at the time that he was to have fathered Bobby.

Well, sure, if you want to get technical. Thatherton! I'll have to be more careful.
