Drives and Dubs

The Texas Tweeter tweeting about driving and dubs  or is that drives and dubbing?


Want me to drive? - AUS10



Funny that doesn't look like your Leaf.

Or dubs either.

Ray Donovan. The art of voice dubbing.- AUS10

The Friendly Skies


Farewell Los Angeles. Back to work in North Carolina. The pilot said I could come into the cockpit and honk his horn. Very worried. - AUS10
"Austin, do you like movies about gladiators? "



That's one way to earn your wings.

But didn't you already get a pair from somebody?

[Insert your own upright and locked position joke here]



Tonight on the Crazy Tree

Feats of Clay and his new kidney are sprung from the hospital while soulmate bestie Nathan still mulling over walking away from the NBA. (Does he love Slamball that much? Oh don't do it Schwahn and make him an agent with Feats) BrookeDavis(TM) and BigBadMamaDrama disagree on how to handle the company’s financial problems. BrookeDavis(TM)wants to sell it all off and render herself penniless and then throw herself on the floor to make sure people will know all ofba her sacrifices. Mama realizes she didn't have to go to the pokey if BrookeDavis was going to pull this sh..stuff.

Chase discovers a secret about Alex (Would say secretly married but thing this summer was far from secret). And for taking it past the crazy train this week Mya gets a voodoo doll of Alex to give a little bad juju to her for dating Chase. The Real Housewife of Tree Hill sees the crazy potential and suggests a road trip to get her out of the Big Tree and head for the forest, Oregon. (HINT: Crossover episode with Life Unexpected following OTH) BrookeDavis wonders if she can get something that could speed up the slow shrinking pair as fast as they did with Michael Keaton head in Beetlejuice.

And Julian, where'd he go? Unless there are 2 minutes he walked on for, looks like he was in the Motor City that week, and revving his engine that weekend.

But word to Julian, might want to start collecting those shiny dimes, the water that hasn't pass through pipes and head out to Tree Hill's cemetery. It might not ward of the juju but maybe you can find Dan Scott to bring something wicked this way comes back to the Crazy Tree.

I would like to announce that there is nothing going on. If you want further information on what I am not doing please check my two twitter accounts, Facebook and blog.

And your Two Wheel Tuesday moment.

Frequent Flier

Now with extra charges, less leg room, flight attendants taking rides on emergency slides and all those delays, you need every tip you can get to make your trip enjoyable.

Austin has racked up some frequent flier miles over the past few years, so who better to give some tips to having the best trip you can without Rescue Remedy drops over ice and special earplugs.

(Courtesy of a young Austy's guest appearance on She Spies)


Present your ticket to the flight attendant with a smile.
And for some their inhaler. They might feel sorry for you. Probably not.

Quickly get to your seat before they charge a fee for holding up the plane.

As much as you love your backpack/carry-on/purse/laptop, they can't have their own seat, unless they have their own ticket. And no savesies. You payed for the randomly selected seat they've shoved you in, it's extra if you want a choice.

Now for the pre-flight check list.

You could go with this but I would go with the emergency air mask in case there's a loss of cabin pressure. You only get two puffs with this, that bag has at least 6.

You never really know when you are allowed to take your seat belt off, it gets confusing, so keep you hands on the buckle so you can buckle and unbuckle continuously. And everyone around you loves that clicking sound, especially after the 43rd time in less that 2 minutes.

Up in the Air:
If you got a sleeper next to you try to get the flight attendant's attention.

Make sure to point out they're a drooler, it might not help get you a new seat, but at least a couple of napkins. And that's a win.

To make it an adventure, play reading roulette, and read the first thing you pull out of the seat back pocket. Ooooo duckies.

You can try to get a drink or bag of pretzels, but don't recommend saying the tequila worm you swallowed the previous night needs to be fed. It doesn't work.

Smile. It might get you a date, which sometimes is easier to get than that full can of Coke, or complimentary pretzels.

After you land:Keep your eye on the disembarking passengers if the row a head of you is asleep kick the back of the chair so they get up. Those 14 seconds you might lose waiting could make the difference between getting out of the plane, and getting out of the plane 14 seconds faster.

And last tip. Watch your head, if you're over 5 feet tall or you have a hat size over a kid's medium you're going to smack your head at least once during your flight. You might look into wearing a protective helmet, like I have.

Now go. Go, Fly like the wind.

Didn't see that one in common

Vanity Fair has released its 2010 International Best-Dressed List
As VF says,"There’s an eclectic feel to this year’s ranking of the style elite. But, as always, the list is about individual taste, not fashion trends,.... only one real through line emerges: their exquisite self-expression"

And what brother sister duo made the list.


Jake's favorite article of clothing? His Hoyle Jackson jeans. And they are clearly his fav.




Another fav the Billy Reid Delta Work Boots. But we knew that already.

Favorite fashion purchase of 2010: Salvatore Ferragamo made-to-measure three-piece suit (how could you not?)

And I am telling you....

Favorite watch: 1954 Rolex Submariner
Produced in 1954 and hard-to-find, it is the first watch with a water resistance of 200 meters. One sold at Christie's in May 2008 for $144,399 another sold for $115,000 at Sotheby's in April of the same year.

- Hmmm who else is into Vintage Watches? You know kinda tall, brunette, with a unique fashion sense.

Jake's Style Icon - Clint Eastwood Whatttt? Well that was the first thought too when you think of Eastwood you kind of think of this:

But looking over Clint's career, you can kind of see why Jake picked him. Who would have known.

Maybe it was the hair beard combo

The polo classic

The love of Grandpa sweaters



Maybe the Cowboy meets Prince look

Or just the simplicity of grey tee with talismans?
Clint's tracked down bad guys in San Francisco, took a romantic short story of hidden love and turned into blockbuster movie, played a cowboy, gone to the moon and hey done a musical.... hello... Paint Your Wagon.

Jake one word of advice, wearing the monkey suit was enough, you don't have to do a movie with a orangutan too.


Speaking of styling, think Austin should call it the Flying Dutchman.
Those Berks are looking a bit Gyllenliike are you trying to win the funky footwear battle round 2?

And what's next Mr. Nichols? Wheelbarrow Wednesday?

Now now no cookie cutter ideas
