You’re spending too much of your time at Packers games. 🙂

Chris Pine did a _Saturday Night Live_ monologue about how people confuse the four Chrises:

In the Dead Calm film I would have sworn the villian was Ray Liotta not Billy Zane.

I’ve admitted in the past that for a long time I conflated [Leslie Bibb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Bibb) and [Leslie Mann](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Mann). In my defense they do have a lot of similarities: they have the same first name and similar last names; both are attractive blondes who work in comedies; and both are around the same age and began working around the same time.

Back when she was a teenager, I teased my daughter that I couldn’t tell the difference between James Mardsen and James Franco. For example, watching “Oz the Great and Powerful,” I would say, “Oh, look, its the guy from ‘Pineapple Express.’” She’s all grown up now, but I still do it and she still gets mad.

I should tell that story at a party.

Of course, I meant “X-Men” not “Pineapple Express.” No wonder my pop culture jokes never get a laugh. I really can’t tell the difference.

I’m the first to mention Zooey Deschanel/Katy Perry?

If you really spent too much time at Packer games… there would be about 30,000 cheese ladies to be confused about.
