    What would be really cool, was if the kid didn’t belong to a Tibetan buddhist family. It was just some random kid in rural Alabama. Think about it: “We have found the 15th Dalai Lama! It’s a boy called Billybob Jackson”

      There’s sort of a King of the Hill episode about that. Bobby inadvertently gets put in the mix when a group of Buddhist monks visit Arlen looking for a reincarnated person (I forget who exactly), much to the dismay of both Hank and Khan. Then he ends up seeming like he might actually the person they’re looking for, except the visiting monk ultimately decides that he is not the right choice.
