For The Masterlist of 30 Days of Toothy Tile, Grey Goose and the Baby Tiles: Day 34 - Taking their Biking Game to France

 

For many who likely don't know who that is, that is Looney Tune's Pepe le Pew and the target of his affections, Penelope.  Looks like he was not able to mask his odorous scent underwater! Still, the animation makes us think of Narnia's longest tenured couple.

This is going to be a two-post day because this first post needs to be on its own.  It will then be inducted into the one and only Masterlist of 30 Days of Toothy Tile, Grey Goose and the Baby Tiles.

Indeed. 

LOL, hey that may not even be that big of an exaggeration either! There they go, on their way to go pile into that Ford Transit and another visit to Mammoth Springs.  😉

Anyway, off we go.  Day 34. 

 

•  With grateful thanks to a visitor of Narnia, we salute their kind heads up to a Jake and Austin sighting because it was totally missed by us.  

On July 12, 2023, Austin had posted a video of himself in France while the Tour de France was going on.  We know that he and Jake have been in France during the time of the Tour de France in 2012 when we had Austin appearing at a Comic Con in Paris and Jake was spotted at a hotel.

 

 

And these two were famous for their many pap bike rides, although we should make note that this was Lime Bike B.C. 😉.

Look at those two kids!  Boy, that was sure back in the day.  😇

And of course, Austin had his bike with him when filming in Wilmington, NC for One Tree Hill and he was the grand marshal of the L.A. River Ride in 2011.

So, lo and behold, out of the blue, this author follows Austin and Jake both on Instagram, but totally dropped the ball on spotting this moment at the end of Austin's video from the area of the Tour de France in 2023! 

 

And at the end, you see the back of Austin and a buddy fist bumping from their bikes and as our viewer/reader pointed out, you can totally see the buddy being Jake.  

Booty shot! 2023

 

And a full screenshot!

 

 

Looks like the post had the sign of approval by Jake, doesn't it?  And if you look closer, you see that Austin gets into a brief Insta convo with someone who met him and Jake over there.

 

And sure enough, there is a "Chicken Cafe" in Le-Borg d'Oisans.  The person made their comment on Austin's post in 2024.  You never know with these social media comments!  

Oh, and look!  The choice of dining location makes sense as it looks like Chicken Cafe has Tex Mex on their menu!

 

One last thing on that Instagram post of Austin's - the fist bumping reminds Narnia of that time when Jensen and Jared crossed the finish line together in the Seattle marathon on 11-25-18.

 

 😊

 

And so there we go - Day 34.

"Turning and turning

The world goes on

We can't change it, my friend

Let us go riding now through the days

Together through the end

To the end"

Happy Valentine's Wishes to Narnia's Faves 2026

 

 

Well, here we are in 2026 and it's Valentine's Day already!  We're not doing anything fancy here, no poems, no haiku's, no song-and-dance, no box of chocolates, just best wishes to some of our favorite fellas OR couples, along with wishes for a fun day.  As if we needed a reason to post pictures or gifs of all these beautiful men! 😁 💖

In no particular order, however they come to mind.  [and you know, a couple of fictional television partners need to be included as well!]  Everyone will be listed at the bottom of the post.  I had a huge issue with formatting and so I'm not touching it anymore! 😂😂 and we're just going with the flow.

Yep, that's Kris Allen and Adam Lambert!  🔥

 

And don't freak, but it's time to end this one with our two fictional fave pair of professional partners (one of them new!) 

Jim Reed and Pete Malloy from Adam-12! 

 

And yes, I can't go, I mean we can't go without these two!  Ol' Roy and Johnny from Emergency!

Happy Father's Day to a Few of Narnia's Fave Fathers - A Stroll Down Memory Lane

 

Oh, you thought this was going to be a post about some of Narnia's fathers and their fur-babies?  Well, let's see, we have (or had) ...

 

Jared Padalecki - Arlo and Bridge

Jensen Ackles - Icarus (it sounds like Icarus may have crossed OTRB)

Jake Gyllenhaal - Leo

Austin Nichols - Otis

 

And while the Padalecki-Ackles pups look to be actual members of their household, Narnia has always raised eyebrows at Jake and Austin's.  LOL!

I mean, what was this?  Remember the disastrous set of photos from April 2015? 

 

Jake looking suitably crabby with paper dog, "Leo"

 

The photos were not a great endorsement for Pup Dad of the Year, let's put it that way.  We haven't seen Leo for quite awhile.  And while it's possible that Austin's "Otis" is indeed a Gyllynichols member of the fam, we're lucky nowadays to get a glimpse of one of his ears or paws.   

Nah, what we feel quite confident about is these two couples juggling fatherhood, separate careers and public images, along with their own intimate relationships.

Jared and Jensen, because of their beards, are able to show a family image (although separate), yet while also maintaining false images of "being away" from their kids a lot, especially during the years of filming Supernatural. 👀   We won't get into that today however, because of the nature of the holiday.

Despite most of the "separate family unit" imagery, the two men have shared stories on convention panel stages and photos which give a glimpse that all is and has not been, as it has been portrayed or some fans wish to believe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The J's with Tom, JJ and Shep in 2015

 

Despite the stories they've shared during convention panels which reflect that Jared and Jensen are the heads of a nuclear family, I believe the 2015 pool pic was about the last allowed "Polaroid" we've seen of these guys together, with any combination of their children.  Paranoid publicists usually seem to prevail these days, it seems!  That's okay, current photos are not necessary.

 

🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡

Then, there are two men who have never shared a convention stage together or a collective family photo, but we have absolutely no doubt, they are their own family.  Let's recount a few online moments from the past on this Father's Day, as well as some simply romantic throwbacks in a delayed salute to Jake & Austin's 15th crystal wedding anniversary on June 16.
