Simply put, there’s a lot of people who can’t tell the difference and don’t really want to either.

How much do I have to pay you not to tell my daughter that I confused the Back Street Boys with N’Sync?

If she gets wind of this, I will have to sit thru a detailed biography of all the members of both bands, with side comments on who sang what on which song. I don’t think my reason could withstand this.

I love my daughter with all my heart, but if she plays that frekking CD in the car again on the way to dance class, I am going to commit suicide in some messy, public way. And Lance Bass will just have to live with that.

Shodan

Sounds like the deal with my younger sister. If I ask what the difference between the two is, she gives me a 15-minute lecture, which doesn’t help because my eyes glaze over appox. 5 seconds in and anything she says after that is lost on me.

Okay, this thread is slowing down. Let me bring back one of mine that hasn’t been solved:

NDP 29 - Acting like he’s hardly ever breathed fresh air before, a man sticks his head out of the window of a moving car into a winter’s night.

And, add a new one:

NDP 30 - While shooting a videotape of herself for a prospective employer, a woman makes a catty remark about Jane Pauley.
