Mix-Ups

Not being a huge follower of popular culture, I can’t remember various celebrities’ faces too well. When looked at side by side, it’s not too bad—there are enough dissimilarities to make differentiation easy enough. But when they’re not together? Mix-Up City.

Allow me to demonstrate the ones which come to mind.

Reese Witherspoon and Julia Stiles:

and Melanie Griffith and Meg Ryan (also not helped by the common “Me-” sound of the first names):

And among the guys, Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio:

Finally, there are the political twins:

I’m always getting those two mixed up…

The only pair I would have trouble with is the last one.  The first pair is really easy, as one looks like a deer in the headlights, and the other looks a little bit like my daughter.

The dude under Hillary looks like you.

What message exactly are you trying to send us?

Well I think you are being unfair to Trotsky.  While he was a vile communist, having a hit put on him by Stalin might possibly have indicated some redeaming virture.....nah.
Still he’s dead and shes not, so he’s a good commie....and she’s not.

In addition to appearance, the last two also share the similarity of contemplating the liquidation of the bourgeoisie. We’ll see if our latter day Red also gets an ice pick in the head delivered by a Bolshevik rival.

The last comparison got a good laugh.  I agree that you may be a little unfair to Trotsky here, simply because Hi.... I can’t even type the name hasn’t learned the lesson taught by Trotsky’s unflattering demise.  I am reminded though of a book a I finished reading over lately, The Annotated Legends by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis, a recuring theme is that evil cannot create and inevitably consumes itself in the bitter infighting for power.

Besides, Meg Ryan is so much hotter than Melanie Griffith, how can you get confused?

Julia Stiles is pretty, Reese looks like a preying mantis.  Also, one of my best friends from college looks astonishingly like Stiles.

I agree that you’re being unfair to Trostky.  In his defense, nobody knew in 1921 yet that Communism was doomed to failure.  Anybody that pisses off Stalin enough to have Uncle Joe put a hit on him with an ICE PICK can’t be all bad.

The bitch on top oughta know better tho… which makes me, uh, uncomfortable as to her true motives.

Kim, that’s just cruel.

To Trotsky.

Every time Hillary lies, her thighs get fatter.

Doesn’t seem difficult to me.  Trotsky is a lot prettier than her.

NICE!

Many of the above comments are well aimed.

Today, ice axes of far superior materials and design are being made.

Sooner or later the h-beast will need to go on a political junket to Mexico City.

Anybody up for an expedition to do a technical ice route on Popocatepetl?

Try pairing Kirsten Dunst with Julia Stiles.  Until this post got me looking, I had thought the Blonde in Spiderman and the one in the Bourne movies were the same actress

I think the Hildebeest may be just a little more masculine than Trotsky.

Okay, maybe I just haven’t looked at her much lately, but when I saw the picture of Hillary my first thought was “DAMN she looks older than I remembered.”

Then I saw the second picture of her and thought, “DAMN she needs a shave.”

Author ID: 7717 | 9/26/2007 10:18 AM CST | #101597


I find the last 2 pictures particularly inapt. Why? Because it is a well-established fact that since Hillary was in college she has been a Stalinist. She worked for a lawyer in NYC who was a Stalinist, she worked with others while at Yale to defend Black Panther terrorists on murder charges. But Trotsky was murdered by Stalin, and that means he was at least somewhat less evil and as an original member of the group who launched the coup was a threat to him. Hillary and her faux husband are both totalitarian Communists who use fascist politics to gain power and institute their programs. Hillary is the worse of the two by far, because she isn’t so driven by animal desires as the fat Mussolini-like self-abuser is. Boy Clinton liked the power, and wants it like every Communist wants it, but if he could trade passage of a law to help construct the tyranny for a BJ from a 15 year old, he’d make that trade any time, as anyone who has read about him should know. He spent the 1970’s, 1980’s, and and even the 1990’s taking drugs and using dimwitted young girls who he and his half-brother had given drugs to for sexual pleasure.

The press know all about this, as they know about the tens of millions in bribes the Clintons took and the hundreds of millions their party laundered from China for them in exchange for America’s most dangerous military technology.

Hillary has been taking bribes at least since the Carter Administration, later trying to justify some of it by claiming that everybody else was doing well in the 1980’s and why shouldn’t they. Her media allies called the 1980’s the “decade of greed” because we got to keep more of our labors’ fruits, and inflation disappeared thus keeping the government from growing like Reds prefer. Hillary wants power for its own sake. She is almost certainly the person behind the “fortuitous” deaths that strike witnesses of some of the Clinton crimes.

As for anyone claiming there was ignorance about Communism back in the day: no. In 1920 Ludwig von Mises published an essay, “Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth”, which proved it logically and mathematically impossible for any collectivist system to do other than fail. His work was, however, only a formalization of what was already morally obvious to any person. Collectivist systems, whether communist, socialist, fascist (see Clinton-Blair’s “Third Way"), or some combination of them, all begin with the premise that human beings may be enslaved for a “higher purpose” of the state in the name of some collective. Once that is acceptable to someone, there is no crime that is not acceptable.

LET’s see the main difference between a Stalinist, a Trotskyite, a Buchanists, a Socialist, a Facist, a Maoist, and Hilley is .....the colcor of their clothing and the choice of pistol calibers for state executions.

OK, they are are all a bunch of pinko, rat-bastard, scum-sucking, commies, the whole line up.

Say, do you suppose the Hillary will do away with Bill if she comes into power.  Maybe one of those Black Widow suck the guts out things.  Whoops, I am dead wrong on that spider thing since the female mates before she kills and that ain’t gonna happen with the Wicked Wench.

Actually, I have trouble distinguishing between Reese Witherspoon and Rene Zellwegger (sp?) I’ve no idea who this Julia Stiles is and what I’ve probably seen her in.

As for Hillary and Trotsky.....both commies who advocated constant socialist revolution, and both have questionable taste in women if the rumors are true (Frieda Kahlo was rumored to have an affair with Trotsky, and Hillary was rumored to have a fling with Marky Post).  The major difference is Trotsky was killed with an ice ax, and Hillary is stabbing us/the US in the back.

I have trouble telling Jodie Foster from Helen Hunt. As for Hildemort, +1 to all of the above.

I can’t remember just which film it was, but about half-way through I realized that I couldn’t tell the actors apart.  I had no clue as to the hero, heroine, villain or other obstruction.  The pix you display are no different to me, with the obvious exception.

You know something?  That broad is ugly.  I’ve seen plain and homely women before, and never noticed much about their physical makeup because they had a good heart.  They were what women are supposed to be; Not men, or better yet, the perfect compliment to a man.  Hitlery is a power hungry, lying, thieving chrome plated little bitch on a stick, and it shows.  I’ve met forty something hard as a highway strippers with kinder hearts than hers, and who were a damn sight better looking.

Is that Faux husband or Fauve husband? 

I have trouble with most of the 20 something “Stars” who inexplicably have the media’s attention this week.
Kirsten Dunst to me reminds me of Claire Danes.

As for Leon, I always read that it was an ice axe. Why do you suppose Hildemort (that’s a good neologism) has never taken a climbing vacation? Eiger Sanction-phobia?

Author ID: 2303 | 9/26/2007 06:06 PM CST | #101619


Okay guys, get it straight;

Leon baby was done by an NKVD hitter with an ice PICK, on Stalin’s orders, in the shadow of whatever the half-dead volcano is tha lives next door to Mexico City DF.
NOT an ICE-AX, which is used when climbing in high mountains or on glacier-type areas.
And, as far as the Lady Hildemort (which, as a Harry Potter fan, I ALSO highly approve of!) is concerned, I’d rather have her pecker-waving husband back than her (which is REALLY going out on a limp limb!).
Best of all would be a Dead President - Reagan - because even propped up with his astrology-guided widow driving, we’d be better off than ANY DemCong LibTard would leave us!
And I don’t EVEN believe in Astrology!
But, since we can’t resuscitate Mr. Reagan, let’s just get Fred and as many REAL Republicans - moderate to conservative, not liberals, not radical right-wingers - elected. People who can do business with the world without giving away the family jewels, and without giving UP our freedoms.

I have trouble telling Jodie Foster from Helen Hunt.

My friend “Blondie” has been compared to Foster, and lately I’ve been compared to H.Hunt. Thank goodness that’s as far as it goes. She lives in “Loco” Mo.Co. MD, and I in NoVA, and we both sport NRA lic. plates.
(She’s probably only one of a handful, I’m willing to bet).

I confused Keira Knightley with Natalie Portman when I first saw her in “Pirates of the Caribbean”. I later read that earlier in her career she was cast as Portman’s (Queen Amidala) decoy in “S.W. Ep 1 The Phantom Menace”.

The weapon was called an ice pick in several reports but it seems to vary with the native lanuage of the reporter Americans tend to use Ice Ax whereas other nationalities will say Ice Pick.  One report that I read stated in elaboration an “Ice Pick as used by mountaineers with a shortened handle”
Judging from the size of the hole in the old boy’s skull and the pool of blood, it wasn’t done by something to break up the ice for a drink. .
