Ciao Retroisti.... Last night a friend came home from a trip to China and stopping of in Hong Kong he found a DVD Box with The Monkees TV Show (probably some bootleg stuff), 8 discs of Monkey Madness and that lovely George Barris MonkeyMobile built on a Pontiac GTO.... These guys are funny as h*ll..... An interesting story (if it's true I'm not sure but have heard it from a close source) is that Michael Nesmith's mom who worked at 3M was the one who came up with the "Tipex" concept and became verry wealthy, who knows..... DP says: Spent some 3 hours last night laughing.....

Top grammar tips! Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

am I missing something here?
Mrs Nesmith invented typists correction fluid. Mrs Nesmith used the brand "liquid paper". Tipex is a brand of correction fluid. Even though Mrs Nesmith's brand was not Tipex the fact that its a clone product means she did invent it.
Wonder what happened to the Pontiac?

Wonder what happened to the Pontiac? I think George Barris has it in his personal collection?
