Tuberski:

What is the origin of the ACK! -thing, and what does it mean exactly?

It always amuses me a little (when I notice it), but I'd like to know where it's from.

Tuberski's answer: It is a common saying of the old cartoon character Bill the Cat, from Berkely Breathed's Bloom County.

Rah: How much does one have to earn to pay $47,000 in Federal Income Taxes? (As he once claimed to do one year).

I can answer that one -

The character Bill the Cat (who is in Tuberski's avatar, IIRC) from the cartoon Bloom County pretty much only said ACK.

Johntiki,



Thanks, never heard of the cartoon, but I might try to Google it now that I know what it is.

Sometimes you come across new things in funny ways. I recently complimented gunkulator on his avatar, and also mentioned that I didn't know what it was. People soon pointed me to the Weebl & Bob "cartoon", apparently it's been running for years on MTV, not that I would ever have known. But it's given me lots of laughs at their archive site.

Not well, since being on a high meat diet requires more money than I have. Also, I'm trying to eat down the stores of food we have so I won't have to move them, which means eating all the pasta, etc. we had stacked up.

Sorry to hear you're having some problems with your diet plan. Maybe you'll resolve the problem sooner than you think.
