Sunday Late Evening Almost Monday Morning Musings - Milestone Bdays, It's a Boy! and a Social Media Calling Out

Warning:  sexually explicit content in the third bullet point


via GIPHY 


LOL!  Happy Sunday to all! We have three current topics to hit, so let's get to it and not waste any further MB space.

• Our first bullet point is an update on our invigorated OTP (should I say risen-from-the-ashes?).  So yesterday, third baseman Mike Moustakas (he is the MLB free agent still without a team) tweeted this:

Best offseason ever. This morning we were blessed with a beautiful baby boy. Michael Carter Moustakas. My wife is an absolute rockstar. I love our growing family. pic.twitter.com/Zaa7bZKOYA

Whoa! Who knew?  Well, if one was an Instagram follower of "wife" Stephanie Moustakas, there would be no doubt since there are numerous baby bump photos.  But if you just checked in on Moose's Instagram, there wasn't any clue except for this picture, which disguised the obvious sign of an upcoming addition of a new family arrival with strategic placement:

So congratulations are in order to Mike and his social media replies were lit with similar sentiment.  So were there any from former teammates?  There was - from KC Royal pitcher Danny Duffy.  Some may remember from Narnia's post When You Know You've Been Around These Bases Before-MLB Free Agency 2018 cont., Danny was featured in an article as being Eric Hosmer's "best teammate ever".  Danny tweet replied his congratulations and Hos? Well, Hos piggybacked on his cyber high-five with a retweet:

And the Signing Watch continues with Mike "Moose" Moustakas still without a team to play on this coming major league season.  We here at Narnia have got our eye on where he'll end up!

• Something rather Padackles historic happened late yesterday.  Video was posted of Jared Padalecki with JJ Ackles, Jensen Ackles' eldest daughter. 

Cute video of Jared and JJ 😂 pic.twitter.com/FzCCZg5HUZ

And this author doesn't care what fan tries to come up with a story of some "deleted pic" which existed before, there has not been a photo or video of Jared with JJ.  There have been a few random mentions on con stages from the two men that Jared has been in JJ's vicinity (sarcastic exaggeration),  but there has not been visible evidence like there has been with the Padalecki boys and Jensen.  Perplexing?  Yes, it has been.  But regardless, last night there it was.  And granted equal time at this Jensen Ackles 40th birthday bash held (of course, did you think anywhere else?) at the Family Business Brewery (FBB); we had video of Jensen with Tom Padalecki nearby and watching some game playing.  So, it was First Born privileges!

Jensen showing fine 40ish form, isn't he?  Even throwing a darn bean bag, lol.  

Two parties who are notably absent in these videos, but are front and center in this below photo (amongst many other fan photos):

Hmmmm...well, getting a wee bit closer to that money shot, aren't they?  Not quite there yet.  But a fanny pat for the college try.

Happiest of birthday wishes to Jensen and indeed it was wonderful to see Jared with JJ. This particular author is still trying to recover from the unexpectedness of it all.  2018's season has certainly been one for highly unusual activity and patterns, hasn't it?


•  There is new and out-of-pattern, and then there's just plain ol' re-doing.  During the time of Jake Gyllenhaal's BFF Chris Fischer's hinky "wedding", we at Narnia had taken notice of an alleged fan Instagram account which was providing all the pics 'n news from the event for all Jake fans.  jakebullshittingovereverybody is the term this author prefers to use, but in reality and for archival purposes, I must begrudgingly refer to its real name, jakeovereverything.  Let's take a look at its latest post, which tells fans of a traffic/pedestrian run-in Jake recently had:

Are we to assume this is a picture taken by the pedestrian who had the encounter since the account administrator says the civilian shared this story with her? I assume that is the reason for the "story exclusive" watermark?  As a follower of Jake for quite awhile, I have become accustomed to seeing this narrative of Jake being an aggressive driver, rude to pedestrians, rude to fans, disgruntled with paparazzi (actually, rather aggressive in this photo below!)

And did we not witness him peeling out in a car that night outside of the Buffalo Club with beard, Reese Witherspoon?  

And yet, this story...

via GIPHY 

Who is the witness?  How is it a fan picture was taken in the heat of the moment before the confrontation?  This civilian just happened to be familiar with jakeovereverything and shared her/his story of a Jake encounter?  This version of events does GPS-locate Jake in southern Cali as his people have been trying to do since Fischer's "wedding".  

A similar re-posting is this one, which is from another alleged fan encounter on Nov 16, 2014. Jake is pictured with writer Nick Payne in this photo,

which was one of several photos supposedly taken on November 16th.  We're not sure who this "fan" is who says they asked Jake for a picture and was told "No, but have a nice day."  The original source, like many of the posts on this account, is not referenced.  In addition, there is a "jakeovereverything" watermark on this picture.  A watermark is generally used on a photo or piece of artwork to show ownership.  Well, this photo can be found on this Gyllybabble MCM post (from November of 2014) and without a watermark, so there seems to be some kind of conflict going on or perhaps fraud! [Interesting isn't it, that supposedly Jake told the fan "No, but have a nice day" to a photo, but yet there are other photos from inside Momofuku that evening?]

Another peculiar time capsule look-back:  the Adam Levine Out Magazine "Stop thinking Jake is gay!" interview and  cover story.

Then there's this post on a future flick of Jake's, Velvet Buzzsaw:

This post has a quote from a supposed film discussion website called "kanye to the", but the site is not secure, so just keep that in mind if you decide to go check it out.  It is not clear at this time that the film Velvet Buzzsaw is going to be a female oral sex documentary (wink), but this write-up seems to be hinting of an inside track, doesn't it? Wonder what they know that we don't? Guess the rest of us will find out when trailers are released.  I wonder how many months of ride-along's Jake has already spent "researching" this role?  LOL!

Ahem.   Excuse this writer for getting sidetracked.  On a more serious note and the real purpose of our third bullet point, there is one post that Narnia will not let go without a calling out.  Dates can be fudged, sources ignored, and narratives followed.  But when an event involving Jake Gyllenhaal and Austin Nichols is "re-written" to exclude and write out Austin, Narnia Dispatches will speak loud and clear against a stone and chiseled tactic which has Jake's Team written all over it.


"Jake Gyllenhaal and Adam Levine":

  and on a photo that is clearly Jake and Austin, the author writes "Jake and Adam Levine with friends".  

Again with the "Jake and Adam Levine with friends"

In a photo op (meaning this was not a per chance paparazzi sighting) which focused on Jake and Austin leaving together with the Old Man and showed Levine leaving by himself on a motorcycle, the deliberate re-writing of this gift to Jaustin fans is inexcusable.  

Narnia will continue to monitor any future re-writes involving Jake and Austin.  We will not be hesitant to re-write the re-write.  There are hundreds of other opportunities, other fellow co-stars and friends, other lunches, other dinners, man-hugs, mutual bro finger pointing, sidewalk strolls, concerts and ballgames to rearrange and play around with.  

THIS was Jake and Austin's moment.  Leave it alone.

And on that note, y'all have a great Monday and return to work!
