While preparing for the big lawn mower races in Durndle, Hank experiences back trouble. When he goes to the doctor, he is told that he has a genetic disorder called Diminished Gluteal Syndrome (DGS), meaning that he has such a small rear end that it puts added stress on his spine. The doctor gives Hank a prosthetic butt to wear, but the shame of it is too much until Peggy gets him to go to a DGS support meeting.moreless

This was a really good episode of King of the Hill. I gave it a higher rating because of the funny story and plot. The comedy was funny and I liked everyone in the episode. They all had a part that was funny and mixed well with the show. I thought that Dale was a complete waste in this episode. If I were Hank, I would have pounded his face into the ground for trying to ruin the mower contest. Bobby was funny, and Peggy actually didn't bother me for once. Overall, this was a good episode that was entertaining. Thank you.moreless

- Bill (about a lawn mower riding competition): I'm trying to lose weight so I have a better chance in the mower race.
  Hank: Well, Bill, you could lose 100 pounds and you still wouldn't be able to take a corner like me.
  Bill: Well, I've got news for you. I could never lose 100 pounds...

- Dale: Keep talking, bubble butt! Bill: I wasn't saying anything. Dale: Not you, I was talking to Hank.

- Peggy: You have one butt cheek slightly larger than the other, just like my feet. Hank: Yeah, we're made for each other.

- Dr. Tate: Mr. Hill, you have a compression of the discs in your lower back. Hank: Uh-huh. Do you get a lot of this in your patients who race mowers? Dr. Tate: A lawnmower didn't cause this. It's genetic. Peggy: Genetic as in fatal? Dr. Tate: No. Mr. Hill, you were born with no muscle mass here, no cushioning. For years you've basically been sitting on your spine. You suffer from a disease called Diminished Gluteal Syndrome, or DGS. Hank: I don't understand. What does that mean? Dr. Tate: Mr. Hill, you have no ass.

- Dale: What information have you brought me, Octavio? Octavio: Bill is losing weight, jefe. He is eating only oranges and ham sandwiches. Dale: Blast! We will still win, but we must train twice as hard. Octavio, release the chicken.

- Cotton: Good Lord, Hank, you're wearin' butt-boobies! Hank: It's not for my buttocks, it's for my back. Cotton: Didi, put your fake ta-tas next to Hank's. We'll see who has the bigger melons!
