For a while it was just Peanut Butter Wolf and Guitar Wolf, and I'd forget which one was Japanese.

I just made this mistake in an IRL conversation the other day. Coworker said she'd seen Peanut Butter Wolf, and I was like, "Japanese, right?"

I keep getting Owen Jones and Owen Smith mixed up. Hardly surprising really when they have are both called Owen and have the two most common surnames in the country -- I'll just have to remember by thinking "the one with the Welsh surname isn't Welsh"

It was compounded when a friend who is also a Labour party activist announced on Facebook "Off to collect Owen Jones! Beyond nervous!" where it was quite plausible that she was actually collecting Owen Smith (apart from the fact he probably has someone to ferry him around I suppose).

Haneke's The White Ribbon

Just a momentary "really?" when anyone speaks highly of the former.

john greaves and john wetton

(not so much mixed up as i don't think i've ever consciously distinguished between them)

mark s, Friday, 16 September 2016 15:46 (nine years ago)

I've just confused John Terry with Terry Butcher, which was a bit embarrassing and further evidence that I am turning into my mother.

^This kind of thing. Sometimes I post with this in mind and then later start mixing them up. Still not sure whether the posting is actually somehow the cause of the later mixing up or merely a leading indicator.

Whenever Marlee Matlin comes up in conversation I have to stop and think about whether she's married to James Carville (no, that's Mary Matalin).

go get your winebox (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 14 October 2016 13:30 (nine years ago)

I had her mixed up with Marla Maples, which made that Trump article a bit of an odd read.

Tuomas, Friday, 14 October 2016 13:35 (nine years ago)

xx-post I used to always mix up Robert Culp and Robert Ryan (Wild Bunch etc.). I know Ryan was a lot older but it's something about their faces

Josefa, Friday, 14 October 2016 15:43 (nine years ago)

That's a good one but please throw in Robert Stack and maybe Robert Conrad as well into the mix.

Digable Planet Waves (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 14 October 2016 16:02 (nine years ago)

If not Robert Wagner.

But not William Conrad.

Digable Planet Waves (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 14 October 2016 16:03 (nine years ago)

Don't try to throw William Conrad anywhere

Josefa, Friday, 14 October 2016 16:13 (nine years ago)

I'm still occasionally surprised when I see this byline photo above a guardian article by Duncan Campbell (1944), until I remember that he's a different guy from the the other one

soref, Friday, 21 October 2016 22:01 (nine years ago)

also, even when I do remember that they are two separate people, I can never remember which one is married to Julie Christie

soref, Friday, 21 October 2016 22:09 (nine years ago)

Realized a few days ago that I'd been conflating Emily Blunt and Rose Byrne.

wingless yurp (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 21 October 2016 22:11 (nine years ago)

presumably the crime DC^^^ is married to julie christie, the surveillance DC is gay
