I'm constantly confusing:

The colors purple and orange. Well, not really the colors as the names of the colors.

For some reason, my brane has labled the color which is a mix of red and yellow as “purple”, and the color which is a mix of red and blue as “orange”.

Funny, Maus, I just posted in your thread, and I came out of there to see you had posted in mine!

I always have trouble with vertical and horizontal

As often is the case.

(I’ll stop now. I’m just teasing. :))

You don’t have to stop, I’m enjoying it.

Ha! Never noticed your username - but my best friend coined the word “horizontical” when she became similarly confused. I’ll have to tell her there’s a Doper who thinks like she does.

I keep reading threads where Wesley Clark has posted and then running into Wesley Sherman, who works down the hall.

'Cause you see, Clark was a general and Sherman was a general and…oh, never mind.

Tom Selleck, James Garner, and Burt Reynolds.
Thursdays and the number nine.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
:wally & :wink:

Likes music, likes girls, likes wrestling, respectively. Hope that helps.

Don’t suppose the whole horizon thing helps…

Since I know nothing of any of these, I easily mix up:

The Matrix
X-Files
X-Men
X-Box
Xena

D’oh! I too have trouble with those so I’m sending out a BIG thank you to you, iampunha

Ah, I see your problem. You have a “brane”. Just have that replaced with a “brain” and you should be fine. :slight_smile:

Holy shit, one of the few times I actually laughed out loud, really loud.

Glad I’m home alone!

(I’m still laughing.)

:smack: Because of something on the SDMB, of course. I laugh out loud all the time.

Hurry, get this post in before someone calls me on it!

I have a brain. I use it for doing smart things, like designing phone networks, rigging lights, or reading comic books.

My brane, on the other hand, is used for confusing colors; waking up with my alarm, taking a shower, and doing my morning routine before my wife points out that it’s Saturday; and talking to my son like donald duck.

Hey Maus Magill, do you ever get your sense associations mixed up? Like “That trumpet sounds particularly yellow today” or “That food tastes so purple.” That syndrome was all the rage at the science fair my senior year. Now I can’t remember the name of it.

</hyjack>

Though, now that I think of it, Alexander the Grape freezer pops taste purple, not grapey.

Reading this post was damn near the highlight of my day yesterday. Thank you.

Nope, just purple and orange.

I think the syndrome you’re thinkig of is called “tripping.”

No problem. It was the truth. I still find it funny. Say, are you this witty in real life?
