I always loved the end of that episode. How he was happy that he got so much good business out of Hank over the years he was willing to ignore the possibility Hank burned down his cars.

He still thought Hank burned down the lot, just that it wasn't worth it cause Hank is the type to fight it all the way, and besides, he sold Hank all those cars at sticker price that it was a good run anyway.

You missed the fact that it was a leadup to Hank realizing that Ted Wasanasong didn't actually care about Hank at all and simply wanted him at Nine Rivers as their token whitey. That was Ted's best guess as to Hank's profession when he was put on the spot.

Dale's line about Hank selling tractors at one point was really just flavor for the dialogue. It's never come up or been the focus of anything. Jeans West -> Strickland Propane

Halfway down, he grab onto branch. He look up, he see ferocious tiger. Now he look down, he see another hungry tiger, waiting for him on the ground below. Not a good place to be. He knows for sure he gonna die. Then out of corner of his eye he see a wild strawberry growing on same branch. He pluck it and eat it. And it was the sweetest-tasting strawberry he ever had."

Is Ted Wasanasong Laotian or Chinese? He's shown speaking Chinese to one of the guys from the Nine Rivers membership committee when they're trying to recruit Hank, but he identifies himself as being Laotian. Is he just a Laotian guy who also speaks Chinese?

The Bluegrass is Always Greener is a great episode. The parallels between Hank and Kahn are great and its a rare Connie episode which usually work out well.

Plus it gives great lines like:

Dale: *points to Charlie Daniels* Connie Souphanousinphone everyone! She's only 13 years old!

and one of my all-time favorites

Hank: Where have you guys been? I've had to deal with The Bluegrass Brothers all by myself. They've been staring at me, twiddlin' their beards and trying to psyche me out.

Caught "The Incredible Hank" on Adult Swim. I'd forgotten what a great episode it is, despite the annoying Peggyness. Also, it has this exchange:

Dale: So it turns out I'm not the actual Dale Gribble, but a clone of him. The original Dale Gribble is a super-warrior from the year 2087. The second me, i.e. I, was created to help the first me fight the invading Mongol armies.
Hank: Dale, that's asinine, and here's four reasons why. First, you're not gonna clone a super-warrior out of a guy who can't even win a thumb-wrestling match. Two, you've spent your life swearing that the robots will eliminate the clones by the year 2010, so which is it, robots or clones? Three, you've already said you sympathize with the invading Mongolians of 2087, so you'd be the last one they'd send to fight them. And four, if you were from the future, you would have seen this coming. (Punches Dale in the arm)

Pretty sure Chane is actually his name. Bobby and Connie pronounce it that way all the time, and they don't have heavy Laotian accents.

Ted is a very successful businessman at...whatever it is that he does (does the show ever say what that is?) In the world of Arlen, the Asian community is very wealthy and powerful. It just makes sense for Ted to speak Chinese. He would have taken the time to learn the language to be more successful.

He is definitely Laotian though; there was the whole episode where he claims Kahn is a banana and he needs to get in touch with his Laotian roots by joining that guerrila army. I always found the Ted/Kahn relationship hilarious. Kahn desperately wants to be accepted by this pompous douchebag.

Was there any reason ever given for naming John Redcorn's band Big Mountain Fudgecake? The name seems so odd that I always figured there was a story for it.

I think it's because one of the voice actors (the 2nd one? Maybe there have only been 2) actually HAS a band called Big Mountain Fudgecake.

Not that it clarifies anything, of course.
