Doper twins

There are certain posters here that I tend to pair together for some reason. Sometimes, the reason has to do with the fact that they have similar styles (e.g. **Polycarp ** and Left Hand of Dorkness), at other times because they live in the same place (e.g. ruadh and jjimm). Yet other times, the twinning seems irrational, but who knows at some subliminal level it might make sense (e.g. guinastasia and mockingbird).

Note that this is not the same thing as *confusing * two posters, as one might do with, say, **ruadh ** and rjung, just because they have 5 letters and contain the letters “r” and “u”.

Any other unlikely twins out there?

I often confuse Not Without Rage with lno because of the similarities of their names.

Not because they’re both Tears for Fears fans?

Yeeeeeeees? :dubious:

(and no, I really don’t do faux-vanity searches on Tears For Fears; I stumbled into this thread completely by happenstance)

Oh dear, I’m sure poor ruadh wouldn’t want to be twinned with me. I suppose there are certain similarities - both expatriates, both live in the same city within a mile of each other, post on the same boards, but the similarities end there, I think. Our political views are rather different, and she’s an attractive young lady whereas I am… not.

I get SHAKES and START muddled up, as well as spooje and SPOOFE, for obvious reasons.

lissener and Ilsa_Lund.

Hey, maybe I can get them both to show up and post, with the magic words.

Verhoeven! La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc!

:smiley: :wink:

For me it’s Eve and Eva Luna. Both smart women with similar names.

swampbear and Bear_Nenno, for the obvious reason.
I get SHAKES and START mixed up also.

jjimm, believe me, there are people I would much less rather be twinned with than you.

Not mentioning any names, of course :smiley:

Lynn Bodini and Tuba Diva

I get Sublight and Sunspace mixed up, enough so that when I saw Sublight talking about who he was voting for in the upcoming US elections, I thought “Wait a second, isn’t he Canadian?” No, dumbass, that’s Sunspace.

We have a poster named Lynn Bodini? Gee, I think I would get her confused with Lynn Bodoni before I confused her with Tuba Diva.

:wink:

Seems the Great Bodini is a commonly mistaken moniker. :smiley: That puzzles me, since I have never misread her name.

Paired Dopers? Hmm, now that I think about it, OpalCat and Guinastasia. Not sure why that is, but it’s as though I’m using the same neuron to remember/identify both of them.

Poor old Guin seems to be causing a kind of multiple personality disorder.

AirmanDoorsUSAF and t-keela

I tend to think of ZebraShaSha as my little sister.

Though we rarely post in the same threads. :confused:
