What is a Runout Groove Inscription?

On a vinyl record (remember them?), there's a narrow area, also known as the dead wax, between the music and the label that's usually left blank except for some manufacturing-related code inscriptions. The Eagles (both together and separately) often used this area to display humorous messages or dedications.
