Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

Philip Seymour Hoffman and John C Reilly

Ha, when this thread came out the first time I meant to put
Philip Seymour Hoffman and Philip Baker Hall

Cutty and Chaki.

Jorge Luis Borges and Victor Borge

That reminds me that I also meant to post
Victor Borge/Victor Buono

I can't tell you why, but Rafa Benitez and Jose Mourinho, for a while...

Clap & Clapton (Eric)

...O wait, wasn't the latter named initially as the former? Or am I confusing them both with syphilis?

Al Pacino/Robert DeNiro

Jenni Murray
Libby Purves

But I know they don't look like each other.

Edward Stourton
James Naughtie

(Very British! I have the excuse that they are only ever on radio and I don't see their faces and I listen to them all very early in the morning)

Madame Bovary, Mata Hari and Madame Blavatsky. I always mix them up. Mostly I want to refer to the spiritualist fraud and say Madame Bovary instead.

the earrings of madame bovary

otm

i'm mildly dyslexic and always read "applause" as "applesauce". usually the context is a dead giveaway that i have to read that passage again.

Ben Franklin and Benedict Arnold. It's a breakfast thing.

I was eating Eggs Benedict one day and said to my husband, "Benedict Arnold flew the kite, right?" To this day Eggs Benedict is now Eggs Ben Franklin.

Philadelphia & Pennsylvania - I always forget which is the city and which is the state.

Yes and Bread - no idea why, but these two bands are completely interchangeable in my mind.

Red/Brown, and Blue/Purple - cos I'm colourblind...

Daryl Hannah and Daryl Somers: http://www.femenino.info/wp-content/uploads/daryl-hannah.jpg http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2004/11/25/wbsomers_narrowweb__200x264.jpg

hint: when daryl hannah sings she doesn't go "hey!" at the end of every second line

Too many Matthews.

Ben Franklin and Benedict Arnold.

A pedant writes: Of course you are aware that Eggs Benedict are not named after Benedict Arnold but various other people?

Curiously my friend confuses Eggs Benedict with Eggs Florentine. Which really should be easy to tall apart as one is delicious and the other has spinach.

Bob Mosley/Bob Moses

You mean the belligerent blonde bellowing bassist Bob Mosley from Moby Grape??!?

Man confuses wife with bicycle

Yes, I can affirm what you have acutely and astutely asserted.

Akim Tamiroff / Nehemiah Persoff

Good one!

"Yes and Bread - no idea why, but these two bands are completely interchangeable in my mind."

I have no idea either. They couldn't be more different.

mira sorvino / mena suvari

keijo / keiji haino

I think there are several threads based on that last one.

Alyssa Milano / Mena suvari :(

Alyssa Milano/Vanessa Minnillo

David Keith/Keith David OTM, and I raise you:
http://www.hbo.com/sixfeetunder/img/252x190/episodes/season05/ep52_david_keith_252x190.jpg I often mix one or both of these dudes up with them! FRUSTRATING!!

GOD, DAVID KEITH EVNE KIND OF LOOKS LIKE MICHAEL C. HALL, AND ALSO KEITH DAVID IS A BALD BLACK GOATEED MAN LIKE MATT ST PATRICK! SIX FEET UNDER MUST HAVE DONE THIS ON PURPOSE TO RUIN MY LIFE.

Mick Ronson and Mark Ronson. For months I had no idea why Mick Ronson had returned as a hip new producer.

wait, Mick Ronson's dead? That would have been an even more impressive return than I thought it was.

Sinclair Lewis/Upton Sinclair

chi mcbride and that other guy

the one who looks like him, and plays the same roles

the letter K and the number 5

SO WEIRD RIGHT??
