Not all dads can be conservative, propane-loving, lawn-mowing Texans.

10 Reasons Your Dad May Be Hank Hill
Watch Cartoon Online

Hank Hill is the unintentionally hilarious Texan dad from the animated TV show "King of the Hill." Although all of the show's characters are witty in their own way, Hank is perhaps the funniest of all. When not selling propane and propane accessories, he drinks beer with his high school buddies in the alley of their neighborhood. Hank Hill, the steak-loving, all American, truck-driving, family man is the epitome of a Southern dad. If the following criteria reminds you of your dad... then good news, he's probably Hank Hill.

1. He wears practically the same outfit all the time

Hank is partial to plain white t-shirts and blue jeans. What a coincidence--so is my dad. When dads find something that's comfortable and well-made, they stick with it. My dad has worn the same brands of clothes for as long as I can remember. Why? Because if it's not broken, don't fix it.

2. He loves meat and grilling

Hank grills his steaks medium rare with propane, and he would never eat it another way. Dads are serious when it comes to grilling. It's weird, but to each his own.

3. He loves his truck

Hank's relationship with his red Ford truck reminds me of my dad's relationship with his red Ford truck. Trucks are dads' best friends, second to dogs. If your dad didn't drive a truck, would he even be your dad?

4. He loves you even though he doesn't understand you

I'm ashamed of how much I'm like Bobby Hill. Bobby is so different from his dad, but Hank still loves him. Bobby likes comedy and pop culture, not sports and propane. Despite their differences, Hank loves his son and supports his eccentric interests.

5. Beer

Hank isn't only loyal to his family, friends and Ford. He's loyal to his Texas beer brand, Alamo. Dads like beer. They like drinking beer with their buds. If your dad drinks the same beer with his old pals, he's probably Hank.

6. He may or may not have an anger problem

Hank has a tendency to get so mad that the vein in his forehead starts throbbing. Dads have a reputation for being irritable and grumpy. Why are dads always mad? Probably all those liberal Yankees!

7. He likes to reminisce about the good old days

Hank and his friends often reminisce about their high school days when they played football together. How many times have you heard your dad's old football stories? Too many to count, right? Dads love to think about the good old days, back when American products were made to last, and country music was good.

8. He doesn't understand technology

Sometimes even the guy you look up to most doesn't know what a JPEG is. Dads can protect and provide for their families, but God forbid them having to do anything on a computer. Bless their hearts.

9. He loves his dog

Ladybird! Hank loves his dog, Ladybird, almost like a child. He goes as far as building her her own furnished dog house in the yard. Everybody loves dogs, but apparently there's a special bond between a dad and his dog.

10. He takes pride in his yard

Hank spends hours tending to his yard, and not because he has to, but because he loves doing it. He keeps his lawn mowed to the perfect height, too. Dads pride themselves in the perfection of their lawns.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
