Tucker Carlson
Tucker Max

^^I don't really have a handle on who either of these two are but was vaguely aware of them as objects of scorn for American ilxors, only realised today that they are two different people. (I think I just pictured Tucker Jenkins whenever I saw either of their names tbh)

For the longest time I was extremely confused about the simultaneous existence of the bands Golden, Smog, and Golden Smog. Not to mention that Golden had a record called "Golden Summer," which made me think there might have been a separate band called "Golden Summer"

Recently embarrassed to realize that my mind had, over time, not only conflated Edward Snowden with Julian Assange, but that I had thought that the leaker for wikileaks was named Bradley Beal.

Flowers in the Attic
Flowers for Algernon

I have read neither of these, so that's probably why.

DJ Mencap / DJ Martian.... they might be the same person, for all I know.

Carly Simon
Carole King

and it's a shame because I really like Carole King!

JWoww Gilberto (man alive), Thursday, 28 April 2016 17:25 (ten years ago)

Just remember that she was the one who sang "You've Got a Friend".

pplains, Thursday, 28 April 2016 18:18 (ten years ago)

I used to consistently confuse Carole King and Carol Kaye, but I think the fact that I made that mistake in public a few times drilled the correct signifier-signified connections into my head.

emil.y, Thursday, 28 April 2016 18:27 (ten years ago)

I have often muddled them, no more Carol Ks please

John Cena and someone else, a singer maybe?

I want to say John Mayer, but I don't know. Can't google the other guy since I keep thinking his name is John Cena and that's the wrestler.

pplains, Thursday, 5 May 2016 13:15 (ten years ago)

I can never remember which one is Jesse Eisenberg and which one is Michael Cera.

Used to get Jan-Michael Vincent mixed up with Claude Van Damme.

Martin Freeman

think I can tell them apart but do momentarily think one is the other on seeing them.

Stevolende, Thursday, 26 May 2016 08:24 (ten years ago)

In that vein, I tend to confuse Martin Clunes (from Men Behaving Badly) and the guy who plays the main characters' teacher in The Inbetweeners. Though I guess I wouldn't confuse them if I saw them in real life, because the Inbetweeners guy appears to be a giant.
