Oh, I don’t know, let’s see, crushing Dwight Yoakam’s voice box with my five iron?
My favorite episode of King of the Hill is “Hank’s Got the Willies” from Season 1, originally aired in February 1997.
Hank and the guys go golfing. Bobby loses his grip on his club and the club hits Willie Nelson in the head. Bobby later runs into Willie…
WILLIE NELSON: Hey, I know you. You’re the kid that rakes my lawn.
BOBBY: No, I’m the kid who hit you in the head.
WILLIE NELSON: With a rake?
BOBBY: No, with a golf club.
WILLIE NELSON: You been raking my lawn with a golf club? I want my quarter back.…
BOBBY: Dad, guess where I am?
HANK: Oh, I dunno, let’s see, crushing Dwight Yoakam’s voice box with my five iron?
BOBBY: I’m at Willie Nelson’s, and he wants you to come over!
HANK: Son, you’re teasing the gorilla in the monkey house.

On a Dwight Yoakam-related note, Dwight Yoakam provided the voice for recurring King of the Hill character, Lane Pratley, in “Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men,” although later appearances were voiced by someone other than Dwight.
King of the Hill has featured many celebrity voices such as the late John Ritter, Trace Adkins, Johnny Knoxville, Tammy Wynette, Betty White, Charlie Daniels, and Reese Witherspoon just to name a few.

Rabbits are naturally clean animals and very easy to litter box train!
Start with a small cat litter box, other small animal litter box, or any plastic container.
Dump in 1/4 inch of wood pellet litter (available at pet or farm supply stores) to line the bottom of the litter box.
Put a handful of hay towards the front of the litter box to encourage your rabbit to sit in the litter box and munch on hay while he or she does his or her business in the litter box.
Once your rabbit gets the hang of using the litter box, he or she will use it exclusively. It’s like magic.
I clean my pet rabbit, June’s litter box once a week. If you rabbit is large or just stinky, you’ll want to do it more often. Remember to spay or neuter your house rabbit – it will control the animal smell and your pet will live longer. Rabbits are very sensitive to reproductive cancer.
Some tricks I’ve found for those dumb bunnies who just don’t get it:
- Add another litter box. My sweet rabbit, June has two litter boxes in her pen. I line one with wood pellets and just a little hay, but there must be hay in the litter box or she won’t use it. She does her business in this litter box. I only put hay in the other litter box, it is a place for her to relax and eat hay, but she does not use it as a bathroom. The two litter boxes sit side-by-side, but she knows which is which.
I once fostered a rabbit that would dig ALL of the hay out of her litter box. She would not have it. She also needed two litter boxes. In one litter box, I put only wood pellet litter. In the other litter box, I put only hay. It worked!
- If your rabbit doesn’t spend enough time in the litter box to take care of business, feed your bunny his or her daily leafy greens or treats like craisins or banana chips in the litter box to encourage him or her to spend time there.
- If your bunny is leaving droppings around the pen, sweep them up and put them in the litter box. Rabbits eat their own certain droppings. If he or she needs to eat droppings, he or she needs to do it in the litter box. He or she may be kicking them out of the litter box accidentally.
