Secret messages on LP's?

Hi,

I cannot be the only person who has noticed that many older LP's have little, sometimes jokey messages etched into the blank area near the lead-out groove. For example, on my copy of James Taylor's "That's Why I'm Here," the lead-out area of Side 1 says, "Purina Ear Chow." And I believe that one of the three LP's from the Emerson Lake and Palmer live album, "Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends" has "With Love From Andy & Arun" written there.

Anybody have other gems on their LPs?

And who in the production process would be putting these little messages there, anyway?

My Eagles the Long Run says, "Never let your monster lay down" on side A
on side B it says: "From the polack who sailed north"

I always thought it was a private message just for me and lived my life in such a way....
