Hank would respect Gatsby because he’s a veteran of the Great War.

Hank is “lower middle class” meaning, he owns a single family home, two reliable vehicles, spends on extras like high end lawn gear and recreational grilling equipment, hobbies, a social life, raises a family- all on 1.25 salaries. He’s able to recognize quality living since he does his own affordable version of it

Dacap posted:The only complication to that theory was that Junichiro also looks like Hank. cotton used to look like hank before he got old and saggy. look at that picture of bobby and hank's faces swapped posted upthread, bobby's face fits on hank's body and hank's wrinkled face fits on bobby's. it is hank and junichiro, who will look like cotton in twenty years

I mean come on 2023 Hank is not an assistant manager, he's a "Manager" who works 70 hours a week and gets no overtime because he's salaried https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/salary-manager-jobs-fake-titles-save-4-billion-overtime-nber/#app

Testikles posted:So do you think Hank actually likes The Great Gatsby or he just liked the patio furniture and tolerated the references to the novel? Hank definitely never read a book between middle school and A Dinner of Onions (in 8th grade and up he was on the football team so) Well, maybe purple turtleneck Hank from the smoking flashback would have read a Willie Nelson biography.

Hank has certainly read many books but few novels. I can see Hank sitting down with a book on proper truck maintenance or wood working.

I just watched Master of Puppets (S13, where Hank and Peggy forget to pick up Bobby on time after their date). At one point, when they're at the arcade before the Cane Skretterberg show, a girl comes up to Bobby and says they should head bang when they play "Screeching Weasel". Is that supposed to be a song, or is Cane doing SW covers?  But here's a weird connection: Obviously, Cane and his band were voiced by Green Day. During Green Day's tour for Insomniac in 1995, their opening act was The Riverdales. The Riverdales was a side project of fellow punk band Screeching Weasel. There are also a bunch of promo images from around the Dookie era of Mike wearing a Screeching Weasel shirt. Behold! ('Cane' is Tre, the one on the right)  Anyway, I thought it was a neat connection.

manero posted:Yeah, that's a cool connection. Green Day and Screeching Weasel were labelmates on Lookout! Records in the early days Yes! Thank you, that's the other connection. I originally thought they were both from Gilman St, but SW is from Illinois, not California. Edit: one more little connection I remember thinking was neat back in the day when all I listened to was GD, SW, and similar bands. Green Day: "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?" (one of my favourites of theirs) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAGnKrFk0HQ Screeching Weasel: "I Wrote Holden Caulfield" (on an album that Mike Dirnt of Green Day played on) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8eu6tNlpt8 Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Feb 5, 2023 |

Testikles posted:Hank has certainly read many books but few novels. I can see Hank sitting down with a book on proper truck maintenance or wood working. I bet he also reads and critiques a lot of instruction manuals where he notices typos, inaccurate screw sizes, inappropriate tool recommendations and poo poo like that. "Now why on earth would I use a socket wrench on that when I've got mah' vice grips right here?" "90 grit sandpaper? What? Why, that wouldn't give me a smooth surface to apply my varnish at all. Say, who wrote this anyway?" He might even call the manufacturer to address these issues. *is on hold for 25 minutes* "Hey Hank Hill, Strickland Propane. I thought I'd like to let you know that a 3/8" bolt with 35 pounds of torque applied with an adjustable wrench is a far better way to get your set screws adjusted properly. I thought ya might like to know and maybe reprint your manual." I'm having a hard time actually picturing him sitting down to read a real novel. Maybe Tom Clancy or Brad Thor or something like that. Perhaps Willie Nelson has an autobiography. Or Tom Landry. More likely, he has some coffee table books about the Alamo or the Dallas Cowboys that he got for Christmas and looked at once. Hank is too busy Getting Things Done to find time to read. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Feb 5, 2023 |

I think that fits. The poster who said he stopped reading books is right if we mean novels. Hank probably suffered through some required reading though I imagine he loved reading pulp paperback westerns and adventure novels.

Hank has read all the Haynes repair manuals for all his vehicles cover to cover multiple times. He's also probably read some biographies, like Tom Landy's. He's just not a fiction kind of guy.

He's got the faintest hint of an edge to him. The man DID own a RJJ album, after all.

Hank in bed reading aloud: "Thank you for your purchase of the Mason 1500. The Mason 1500 combines American ingenuiety Mason's trusted craftsmanship to provide you, the American consumer, with an unparalleled mowing experience." *shivers* "Still gives me goosebumps, Peggy"

Nailed it. Hank reads manuals and Peggy would also make sure everyone knew she read the books before the movie came out
