That'd be Clint back around the 19th of July. Nice catch.
Holy crap... Here I am searching on google for a picture of Jason Adderly to use on MSN, and I find some people talking about me... seriously, that's creepy. I used to be @attbi.com, but they sold us to comcast. I'm Clint Stephens... Kind of hilarious too, hehe. (I just barely registered this account to find out if it really was me.)
Also the most SIMPSONS-esque episode of King of the Hill... I mean, so many of the jokes in this episode are pop-culture jokes (all the stuff with the various celebrities), "wacky" jokes (Luanne getting tangled up in the braiding machine), fantasy sequences -- it's all very interesting because there are so many jokes in this episode that the show would never have done even a few episodes later, let alone now.
When watching an early episode it's interesting to see how the character designs have changed... Hank's face was simplified a little bit in season 2 (fewer lines); Peggy and Luanne were both redesigned to look progressively sexier (the DVD commentaries mention this about Peggy, but it's also true of Luanne, who started out as a moderately pretty, trashily-dressed teenager and is now more or less Trailer Park Barbie). I guess Bobby and Dale haven't changed much in terms of design.
My favorite line in the episode got cut, but is on the deleted-scenes section of the DVD: Dale, after Bobby conks Willie Nelson, was supposed to say "Bobby, hop in, I'll raise you as my own in Mexico!"
