'King of the Hill' - 'Peggy the Boggle Champ' Quiz

Answer: Thai spicy noodle soup

In fact, tom yam is a popular spicy Thai noodle soup which has caught on in the United States. Peggy is not aware of this, of course, and dismisses Minh's attempts to introduce new words into her vocabulary as absurd. Later, Minh will also try to use 'PadThai', with the same results.

Answer: Lawn mower expo

The 9th Annual Dallas Moer Expo will be held on the following Sunday (and Saturday), much to the delight of Hank and his friends. The advertisement entices them with the following: the 'awe inspiring spectacle of the Snapper Mowing Team', King Mulch (taking on a 'Texas-sized pile of twigs') and 10,000 oil paintings (no idea why that's in there).

Naturally, the boys have to attend at all costs.

Answer: Elks

Peggy is resistant to participate, claiming that she does it as a hobby, but her girlfriends insist that she take part. Hank chuckles at the fact that the Elks are sponsoring the tournament, suggesting that they will 'do anything for a dollar'.

Answer: Hoo-yah!

This is rather one of the more entertaining elements of the story. Peggy is so reserved, but yet so very competitive. Happily, she wins the local tournament and is entitled to be Arlen's representative at the state Boggle tournament the following weekend.

Answer: Dallas

Coincidentally, this is the same location for the lawn mower show that Hank hopes to attend. Hank believes he can kill two birds with one stone, attending the Boggle tournament as Peggy's coach, but sneaking out when Peggy is busy playing to join his friends at the mower show.

Answer: Bailey's Bail Bonds

Peggy is handed a jacket from the Arlen Boggle Boosters, a club that seemingly consists only of Minh and Nancy. When Peggy is about to embark for Dallas, the two women present the jacket and wish her luck. Minh adds a tentative 'goodbye', suggesting that where she comes from, losers don't return home.

Answer: Risky Business

Bobby Hill does a Tom Cruise impression during this scene, sliding out of his room wearing only underwear and socks (as Cruise does in 'Risky Business'). Luanne also has managed, somehow, to acquire a fire safety video featuring Chuck Mangione. (Bizarre!)

Answer: Bobby makes a water ring on the coffee table

Bobby attempts to make amends for the coffee table water ring by varnishing the table, but things only get worse when a bit of the varnish spills on the carpet. This sets off a series of events that results in half the cleaners and repairmen in town working in the Hill house to clean up the various messes.

Answer: Cissy Cobb

Cissy Cobb, with her pseudo sophisticated attitude and horse laugh, belittles poor Peggy from the now seemingly small and remote Arlen, Texas. Cissy is a seven-time champion (in non-consecutive years) of the Dallas tournament, and she means to make it eight. She derisively calls Peggy 'Patches', after all the sponsor patches Peggy wears on her jacket.

Answer: Acquaintanceship

While Cissy Cobb formulates relatively few longer words, Peggy concentrates on a number of shorter words. Peggy's strategy works, but it is actually her use of the word 'acquaintanceship' (which Cissy initially believes is the word 'ain't' because of the way Peggy has the letters covered with her fingers) that puts her over the top!
