Thank u 4 excellent tips — I will never be confused ever again.
The 'Burbs was some movie I knew nothing about, so it was a weird reversed Fight Club moment for me just now when I read the synopsis and kept reading about all these scenes that I was sure were from Nothing But Trouble. OMG, they were two movies all along! Two awfully upsetting movies that I blame for a significant portion of my childhood nightmares.

Every time I read 'Richard Dawkins' these days it takes me a while to get the image of Richard Dawson out of my head.
Also I always used to have trouble with Julie Andrews and Julie Walters (I may have said this another time upthread but if so it's hidden behind the cut).

whenever i read the name of rick bayless i think they are talking about tim bayliss, and get very confused and angry that people are spending so much time discussing a fictional character from a '90s cop show.
