Grab a chair and a couple of root beers...

... have y'all read the notes at the end of the episodes??

The Impertinent Daughter saw the words "emoticons" in the paragraph following the words, "Chuck Lorre Productions,' and rewound to pause at that part and we were stunned to read this...

"CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #184

Don't fall for a woman who has had sex with one of your rock n'roll heroes. No matter how emotionally evolved you think you are, you will never enjoy listening to Eric Clapton again.

Don't lurk around web sites where people comment about your work unless you're drunk.

Don't use emoticons. You're too old to communicate like a twelve-year old girl.

Don't forget that you are the product of a culture that went stark raving mad about ten thousand years ago. Adjust your thinking accordingly.

Don't answer TV critics questions about the state of TV comedy. It's a trap.

Don't eat anything bigger than your head. True in the sixties, true today.

Don't believe that crap that you're as young as you feel. Your feelings lie.

Don't hug men while shaking their hand. Enough already with that. The shake/hug (shug?) is probably something Roman guys did when their empire was in decline."

We died laughing! And... they're like this at the end of every episode! I used my Google-Fu and found THIS, which made me realize that these "notes" have been at the end of pretty much everything Chuck Lorre has been involved with, which means, omg, I have to rent, what, Dharma & Greg, Will & Grace, or maybe I'll just go HERE to read them all.

Sneaky, Chuck... very sneaky. I like that!
