If anyone still hasn't finished eliminating their secret files, I'll wait..............................finished? Great, let's go........

What _happened_ here? I leave for a few months, and the Spam Mafia takes over the place? We've gotta do something about this! And, in that spirit, here're some ideas for discussion...........

Where does Hank keep his coffins? They'd take up too much space in his garage, and I can't quite see thrifty Hank renting a storage room just for that..........

Will Luann retain her neo-virginity for long? Is she still as impulsive as when she lost it the first time, or has she matured sufficiently since then to give her a new outlook? She came perilously close to losin' it, but I think that close call may've had a sobering effect on her, as evidenced by her calling off the wedding.........for now, at least.

Will they ever let poor ol' Bill get better? Shoot, he can carry on with three sisters-in-law at once..........he can sweep ANN RICHARDS off her feet.........but he still has the same old lousy self-esteem. Tch, tch, tch...............

Will Dale ever find out that Joseph isn't his biological son? Or has he known all along?

Where do you think they're gonna take the Bobby-Connie-Joseph relationship? It's getting a little tense.........

Would any of us want to have Hank and Peggy as neighbors? They're actually a bit obnoxious..........

Other ideas, anybody?

I agree about the storage room. Is it settled cartoon fact that the Hills don't have a basement? The Gribbles next door (which side isn't clear) have one; but the Hills have a utility closet that Peggy uses as an office, so I'm guessing no basement. He could easily construct a rack above the hoods of the cars, but they'd have to show that in future episodes if continuity is a priority (BWAHAHAHAHA! Oops, sorry). They have a peaked roof, right? So maybe there's attic space, though it would take fold-down stairs, rather than a closet hatch, go make it plausible that he could get them up there. He could stand them on end and use them to store cases of beer.

She's getting smarter all the time. I think there's hope for her.

He needs to retire and go into private enterprise. Charcoal and charcoal accessories.

I say he's known all along.

[MJ] Where do you think they're gonna take the Bobby-Connie-Joseph [MJ] relationship? It's getting a little tense.........

Almost like real life.

[MJ] Would any of us want to have Hank and Peggy as neighbors? They're [MJ] actually a bit obnoxious..........

A _bit_? I'm surprised Dale puts up with them. But wait!

Not me, I'm fresh out.

Houses don't have basements in Southeast Texas, since the water table is so close to the surface. Some do in the Dallas-Ft.Worth area. It seems to me that Arlen is somewhere in between but I'm not sure.

I say he's had all the evidence right in front of him but he doesn't WANT to know so he remains blind to the most obvious facts.

I wouldn't mind. They're decent folks. Lots better than SOME people you could have for neighbors.

Yep, my gut-feeling is that Dale knows about Joseph, too........every once in a while, he gets an opportunity to prove he isn't an utter idiot,which he'd have to be _not_ to know.

My guess is that as soon as he saw Joseph, he realized who the biological father must be.....but he instantly fell in love with the little guy anyway. Realizing that an outcry on his part might cause him to lose the woman he loved AND Joseph, he made the quick decision to play dumb, and he's been contentedly doing so ever since...........the only other explanation is that he really IS as thick as a very thick post, and I don't buy that.

Hey, you're right.......I don't think they've ever given us any reason to think the Hills have a basement. That raises the question of how super-responsible Hank could ever buy such a house in an area known to be tornado-prone.....that doesn't seem like him at all, does it? Could that be the house he grew up in? I _can_ see Cotton doing something like that...........maybe saved him a few bucks, and he'd figure he could always start a new family if the one he had got blown away.........

Rusty Shackleford IS a half-Cherokee Indian who used to work for the CIA and now mis-trusts the government completely. "Dale Gribble" is a cover. Joseph is his biological son.

Now, how can we write an episode about Boomhauer?
