Late last night, trouble sleeping, went to watch some bad television to get rid of whatever important thoughts were keeping me awake. Watched an epside of “Two and a Half Men”, a lowbrow but sometimes funny comedy. At the end, just before the credits, I notice a flash of very long words across the screen.
A bit more than subliminal, but just, and this is what it said:
Fortunately, Chuck Lorre Productions has an online archive of the stuff they slip onto the end of their shows, so I didn’t have to actually transcribe the above. Some of the stuff there is pretty amusing.
2.5men has grown on me since the older serieses… the current series on UK paramount comedy is not bad.
I am posting because somethign the OP said “Late last night, trouble sleeping, went to watch some bad television to get rid of whatever important thoughts were keeping me awake” Rang true for me.
If I have a thought process keeping my awake I read.
If the thought process includes anxiety (such that I can’t concentrate on reading because my mind wanders back to what was on my mind) I get up.
