TRIVIA (3)
ADD TRIVIA-
In this episode Luanne's dad claims to have not seen her since she was a little girl, however in the very first episode Luanne moved in with the Hills because her mom stabbed her dad with a fork and he fled and she was 17 or 18 at the time.
-
Dale's plan for a guard tower was shown previously in the episode "Flush with Power", during which the zoning board denied him a permit to build it. In this episode, he attempts to avoid the zoning board altogether.
-
This is the first appearance of Luanne's father. Peggy mentioned earlier in the series he has been working on an oil rig in the Pacific Ocean and wouldn't come back until someone faxed him Leanne's (Luanne's mom) death certificate.

ADD ALLUSIONS-
Dale: He wept because there were no more worlds to conquer. This is a quotation from Plutarch, referring to Alexander the Great. It is attributed to various authors, from Milton to Aelian, though the oldest known source appears to be from Plutarch's essay "On Contentment of the Mind" It is also quoted by Hans Gruber in the movie Die Hard.
-
Dale: What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? This is a quotation from Langston Hughes's "Harlem: A Dream Deferred." The theme of the poem is how having to postpone your deepest desires can lead to a downfall.
-
The title is an allusion to Georges Perec's book "Life: A User's Manual", originally published in French and titled as "La Vie mode d'emploi". The book is a collection of short stories about the residents of a fictitious Parisian apartment block.
