- Crazy creditsCHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #366 [Image of a cluttered desk containing a Mac SE, a glass of bourbon, dirty ashtrays, pencils, erasers, etc.] This photograph was my vanity card when I was working on Grace Under Fire and Cybill. I remember deciding on its composition by asking myself what were some of my favorite things. The answer, as you can see in the picture, was tobacco, bourbon and an old Mac computer. Eighteen years later, I still love my Mac. The other two items, despite my eternal affection, have been replaced with a bronchial inhaler and a metal folding chair in a church basement.

Featured review
See Leonard and Penny go out as friends in "The Ornithophobia Diffusion" ep of "The Big Bang Theory"
Penny asks Leonard to a movie but since they've broken up, it's only as friends. Leonard agrees since Sheldon is too busy trying to get rid of a bird he's afraid of. Since Leonard knows he's not going to have sex afterward, he picks the movie and makes Penny pay her share. Oh, and since Sheldon has failed to get rid of the bird, he enlists Amy and Bernadette to help him...This was another quite funny ep of "The Big Bang Theory" with some new behaviors on the Leonard and Penny front. It's interesting to see them trying to change personalities to impress new potential dates. And then there's the way Sheldon changes his attitude when it comes to a potential pet. All in all, "The Ornithophobia Diffustion" was another worthy episode of this still-funny enough series.
