the latter is the one who sounds like he has a toothpick in his mouth

Red Nerussi (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 10 March 2021 04:42 (five years ago)

If somebody mentions Sheen or Shannon, I just ask "Is that the elfin one?"

Regina King and Regina Hall (the names, not the persons, obv), and then sometimes Rebecca Hall comes to muddy things up, such as when she decides to make her feature-film directorial debut at the same time as Regina King's.

Just realized I was conflating Dick van Patten with Jerry van Dyke. Subsequently realized that I have no actual reason to be thinking about either of these people.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Tuesday, 16 March 2021 05:48 (five years ago)

how about Dick Shawn, are you thinking about Dick Shawn?

armoured van, Holden (sic), Tuesday, 16 March 2021 06:46 (five years ago)

Is that the New Yorker editor or the guy from The Princess Bride?

Just realized I was conflating Dick van Patten with Jerry van Dyke.

And I would have blithely continued doing the same if I hadn't read this.

I think those are all songs but I don’t know if I have ever heard any of them. At least one of them is a meme of some kind that I don’t understand. Anyway I hope they’re all fine.

Canon in Deez (silby), Saturday, 3 April 2021 06:02 (five years ago)

they are all fun pop songs that I've heard on TV

I do know which is which, but when one is mentioned it takes me a moment to remember which name goes with which face.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Friday, 9 April 2021 17:49 (five years ago)

Not an "always" situation but when I heard on the radio that Prince Phillip had died for a second or two I was thinking Prince Charles.
