I wonder what I can do to become a philanthropic organization?

Still beating...

Rumor: Monkee Mike Nesmith's mother was the inventor of Liquid Paper correction fluid.
Status: True.

Origins: Bette Nesmith Graham
Bette Nesmith and young Michael
(she was divorced from Michael's father in 1946 and remarried in 1964) came up with the idea of using a small bottle of tempera waterbase paint to correct her typing errors while she was an executive secretary with Texas Bank & Trust in Dallas in 1951. She supplied bottles of the fluid to other secretaries at her workplace (under the name "Mistake Out") for several years; then, in 1956, she improved the formula, changed its name to "Liquid Paper," and set out to trademark the name and patent her product. After IBM passed on her offer to sell Liquid Paper to them, Bette started marketing the product on her own. Liquid Paper, Inc., did not become profitable for several years, and it was not until the mid-1960s that Liquid Paper correction fluid began to generate substantial income for its inventor.

Liquid Paper was sold to the Gillette Corporation in 1979 for $47.5 million (plus a royalty on every bottle sold until the year 2000). Bette Nesmith Graham died in 1980, leaving half her fortune to her son Michael and half to philanthropic organizations.

Stallion,

I can bring Mickey Dollens out to your office right now if you would like or care to measure and weigh him.

Before I do, however, I need to know whether you believe Rivals reports or me on this matter? LOL


P.S. What is your suite number?

[Stallion]

I don't believe a word you say Stampede-you've been wrong a thousand times and I'm sure will continue you're perfect record.

[giacfsp]

Oh god, knock it off, kids.

[Stampede]

He is currnetly 6'2.5 and aroudn 255 lbs.

[Stallion]

This is an open forum. I provide information from various sources-just about anything that exists on the internet both positive and negative. You and anyone else can add anything you want but I rarely leave out confirmed good info on players. Add what you want. You have been blinded by one coach after another for 15 years. Let me ask you-have you ever heard one coach tell you-You know what Stampede we really sucked in recruiting this year-we were scaping the bottom of the barrell this year. Never. And yet you fall for it year after year. You may not like the honest opinions I have or my preference for VERIFIED information but I have a track record. Think its pretty good. And that is what really burns you up the fact that SMU can't show Rivals up-because they are generally correct. The good news is that SMU will be playing a Southland Conference schedule in coming years-the weakest in the history of the school BY FAR - and you may finally get your day. But then again maybe not.

[Stallion]

well see we learned something. One source said 6-1 another 6-4 both unverified-split the difference at 6-2.5 The moral is don't always believe what you read.

Now that presents a dilemna. Can I believe what I just read?

[Stallion]

No I gurantee you most of these visual inspections are when these players are wearing training shoes which can make a big difference.

[Fresh]

You mean the rivals report that he's 6-4 isn't accurate? Mystifying.

For Sergio Kindle-type guys, I'm sure rivals checks in with them every day after class and again before he goes to bed at night. For third-stringers at small private high school who have as much of a chance of getting a college scholarship as all of us do, rivals never calls. So the guys that SMU is recruiting are somewhere in between. Many of them probably get a call in the spring at the end of their junior year, or beginning of their senior year, and don't get updated except for "now thinking about this school or that school." And I don't know about you, but but between the spring of my junior and the beginning of my freshman year at SMU, I grew three inches taller and added about 40 pounds. Teenage guys grow, and often grow really fast. And as all know, just because you see it on the internet doesn't make it true .... although to be fair, it doesn't make it false, either.

How can you guarantee that?

[mrydel]

I gained 50 pounds between the spring of my 43rd year and the summer of my 52nd. Did not get any taller though.
