How wrong can you possibly be? - Page 3 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

As far as being dead wrong-ive never been as wrong about a baseball player as I was when I thought Adrian Beltre was massively overrated and woukd flame out of the league

To be fair, the L.A. media practically had him in the Hall of Fame when he was still in AAA.

I used to think Ingrid Bergman and Ingmar Bergman were the same person. Then I thought they were husband and wife. Now that's wrong.

When casinos first started the TITO for slots and video poker I thought that was a lame idea, people enjoyed the sound of coins dropping and lugging buckets of coins to the cashier. This TITO thing will go nowhere.

Back in the '80's I predicted that Cyndi Lauper would have a more successful career than Madonna. I guess I wasn't alone on that.

Mid-90's I thought e-mail / internet was for nerds only, and would never be widely used.

He's conflating climate change skepticism with young earth creationism.

I did some affiliate marketing for BingoHall.uk back in early 2015 and when the short contract was up, my commission was around $1,450 USD. They had the option to payout in Bitcoin which would have been about 4.7-ish BTC. I could have left that BTC payment in a wallet and rode that Bull run to about $90k.

I still want to sleep in traffic because of it.

I remember thinking that few people would ever be willing to pay the extra money in order to get a color TV set, especially considering how few shows were offered in color. What was wrong with black and white anyway?

Well, I know of at least one that isn't! I've been wanting to replace my computer lately, but can't seem to find one anymore that has the pretty green letters on the screen.

I thought Justin Timberlake and Robbie Williams were idiots for leaving their cash cow boy bands.

As an LOLAmerican, I didn't realize Robbie Williams had a big career after Take That until you said this.
