I WENT into a public 'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, " We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, go away "

There are two Tom Hollands.

xxp
It's Hollander I meant not that little spider-shit Holland. He's a useless little shit as well and I used to know his uncle!

calzino, Tuesday, 9 March 2021 22:37 (three years ago) link

A surfeit of Toms.

It wasn't even his uncle I knew it was his second cousin and he was a complete cock as well. his dad Dominic Holland is a "comedian" of the British comedy scene who also is a published author btw.

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

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 (three years ago) link

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

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

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.

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.

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.

I don't really get them mixed up , but whenever I picture Jack Antonoff in my mind I imagine him looking more like Antony Fantano.
