He might not have wanted his cloak of invisibility but bet he was wishing for some superpowers before he stepped on that helicopter with Bear.
And with that here are the Top Ten Plus One of :Things going through Jake's head before heading out with Bear.
11. There's not crying in baseball wait there's no crying in Iceland.
10. Why does Bear have that rope around his neck?
9. That hook at the this strap better not mean we aren't "landing" the helicopter.
8. I'm glad these pants are waterproof.
7. Please don't make me eat an eyeball. Please don't make me eat an eyeball. Please don't make me eat an eyeball.
6.I like a good free range chicken but not sure I can do free range puffin.
5.Wonder if there is anywhere I can grab a coffee when we get there.
4. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Red Leader One is a go!
3.My face says fierce but my head says flee.
2. OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!
and the number one thing going through Jake's mind.
This is all your fault Nic!
Here's some details and pics of Jake and Bear's adventure.
And a teaser picture to get you go look.
Jake and Bear will be kicking of the season of Man vs. Wild July 11th at 9:00pm on the Discovery Channel.
I noticed the letter writer was named Evelyn, but I know from letters I had answered in the past that Ted uses the name people sign their letters with, and the letters Tom had answered had his name on them too. Ever since, I've read nothing into the names used by the questioner, only the names used by Ted in his reply.
ReplyDeleteAt this moment I gotta agree with Ted. Jake and Austin at this moment never plan to come out. I have said in the past that I would love to see them outed but I don't think that is possible in HW. Travolta, Spacey, Michaels and Cruise have pretty much been outed as far as I see. Looks like unless you say the magic words the outing either gets squashed or ignored.
ReplyDeleteAs far Ted goes just a few weeks ago he said he still held out hope that Toothy would come out. He needs to make up his mind or close the subject for good.
Ah, the adventure bug has hit movie star Jake Gyllenhaal. He’ll be joining host Bear Grylls to kick off six new episodes of Man Vs. Wild Mondays on Discovery beginning with Gyllenhaal’s episode on July 11 at 9 p.m.
ReplyDeleteThe actor will spend two days with the adventurer in Iceland doing whatever and going wherever Grylls does. "For me, it’s all about discovery," says Gyllenhaal.

ReplyDeleteYes I agree Destiny, but Ted gets lots of letters with similar questions. He, however, has complete discretion when it comes to selecting the one he wants to represent a certain category of interest. Just like he times (posts) his letters to underscore or reveal what is going on in Toothy's life at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThe last "Dear Ted" letter is a generic case in point regarding when/if Toothy might come out. Let's face it, requesting Ted to predict what Toothy will do in the future has been asked & answered several times already. I think, however, he specifically selected this letter because of the name, "Evelyn" which underscores the business aspect of why Jake is still living his life in the closet.
The one example that really stands out as an example of this practice was the letter signed by Myla. The following Bitch Back question ran on October 16, 2008:
Dear Ted:
Why is Toothy Tile bearding when he has a baby with his boyfriend? As much as I adore Family Tile, I think Gray Goose should take Baby Tile with him and leave Toothy. Enough is enough when manufacturing a fake image! The baby comes first and requires honesty. What do you think?
—Myla
Dear Honest Woman:
I think you know what I think. After all, your letter's first, isn't it?
I don't think it was a coincidence that on the same day Ted posts that letter that E! and several gossip sites, were discussing/selling the following PR nonsense:
Reese Witherspoon out in Beverly Hills just back from her trip to London with BF Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake and Resse got naughty in London. Just 24 hours after Reese arrived in London to visit Jake Gyllenhaal, she dragged him into a Lingerie boutique.
While shopping in a Myla boutique on the West End, Reese beckoned her beau into the changing rooms, where she surprised him with a private strip show. Jake watched with a smile plastered across his face as Reese slipped out of her clothes and wiggled into various bra and panty sets, including an itsy-bitsy pair of purple panties and a matching push-up bra.
Let me rephrase my previous question.
ReplyDeleteI don't see how Ted writing about BT points to another one on the way. I think Ted is just writing about BT and Toothy because of Father's Day.
But he's been writing about BT all previous week and today isn't Father's Day, it's post Father Day.
And I have not forgotten M&M's discovery of Ted's three repetitions of "Is BT human?"
That was no mistake, no glitch.
Why does Ted repeat "Is BT human?" three different times with at least 9 months between the mentions?
And I have not forgotten M&M's discovery of Ted's three repetitions of "Is BT human?"
ReplyDeleteTed actually answered that question 3 times? I guess I don't remember that. Are you saying he did that to reveal that Toothy has 3 kids?
Got to get stuff off my chest today. If these two have kids they should absolutely be ashamed. There is no way they ever should have had any. If they do have them the kids certainly are down in the peckin order in their life. I can never support what they are doing. Never. No excuses.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just how many Ted has answered questions about Baby Tile (yes three separate times) it's the timing when he does it and how it fits into the timeline of what's going on with Jake and Austin.
ReplyDeleteNote that the dates of the confirmations are after each baby has been born. Ted also provides clues from the summer of 2008 that suggest that BT2 might be twins:
ReplyDeleteSeptember 4, 2008 (Baby Tile #1 is human)
Dear Ted:
Is Baby Tile human or animal?
—C.L. in Pa.
Dear Little of Both:
As human as something can be in this town.
February 25, 2010 (Baby Tile #2 is human)
Dear Ted:
Is Baby Tile human, feline, canine or equine?
—J
Dear Smarty Pants:
Come to think of it, I didn't say kitty, puppy or pony—did I?"
September 23, 2010 (Baby Tile #3 is human)
Dear Ted:
Is Baby Tile a human baby, or could it be a pet that the Tiles' adopted and share?
—CF
Dear Baby Onboard:
How disappointing would that be! Nope, while T2 loves his four-legged friend, Baby Tile is as human as they come.
^LOL
ReplyDelete6.I like a good free range chicken but not sure I can do free range puffin.
ReplyDelete5.Wonder if there is anywhere I can grab a coffee when we get there.
Ha! Cute post today. I'm actually looking forward to watching this.
Lovin' all the Clarence love all around the internet. :)
Thanks for the information guys. I'll have to go back and re-read Ted's letters. Intriguing theory about BT.
ReplyDeleteThis is just my personal opinion, but it would seem to me that if there is one baby there must be at least two because of the swirling of love juices, which means only one can be a biological Dad at any given time. DNA tests could then prove who the first child was "sired" by and the other one would provide the sperm so he too could have a biological child. Just my suspicion.
^so he could have a biological child too.
ReplyDeleteReally - I agree, about them having more than one. Not only because they want their own, but that they want a child who comes from the person they love so much too.
ReplyDeleteI didn't put this on the top ten list, but someone else thought it too.

ReplyDeleteThe Chicago Cubs released a video today as a part of the It Gets Better campaign.
ReplyDeleteCubs It Gets Better
Good observation, Really.
ReplyDeleteI would really agree. The men always want a son to carry on the family name. And if two men are parenting, and whoever fathers the first child which would be luck of the draw, then the second one you would make sure it was the sperm of the other parent, thus assuring both of them of at least fathering one of the children.
I think I've already burned out on this Bear Gristle event.
ReplyDeleteOkay, this was on twitter today about Peter S doing the Born to Run thing.
This past week we saw him have fun as the villainous Dr. Hector Hammond in Green Lantern, but now the Garden State and An Education actor Peter Sargaard is looking to go behind the camera for his next film venture. Hitfix (via Bleeding Cool) has learned that the actor will make his directorial debut with an adaptation of Christopher McDougall's adventurous autobiographical book Born to Run. The nonfiction book follows the author as he finds a tribe of the world’s greatest distance runners learns their secrets, and in the process shows us that everything we thought we knew about running is just wrong. More below!
Here's a more detailed chronicle of what McDougall experiences in the book:
Isolated by the most savage terrain in North America, the reclusive Tarahumara Indians of Mexico’s deadly Copper Canyons are custodians of a lost art. For centuries they have practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest and chase down anything from a deer to an Olympic marathoner while enjoying every mile of it. Their superhuman talent is matched by uncanny health and serenity, leaving the Tarahumara immune to the diseases and strife that plague modern existence. With the help of Caballo Blanco, a mysterious loner who lives among the tribe, the author was able not only to uncover the secrets of the Tarahumara but also to find his own inner ultra-athlete, as he trained for the challenge of a lifetime: a fifty-mile race through the heart of Tarahumara country pitting the tribe against an odd band of Americans, including a star ultramarathoner, a beautiful young surfer, and a barefoot wonder.
Sarsgaard will also write the adaptation, and while he had initially wanted to star in the film as Caballo Blanco, his desire to direct the film seems to have made him comfortable taking both jobs. However, his brother-in-law Jake Gyllenhaal may end up taking a starring role in the film. The actor has apparently been spotted running around Hollywood Hills in the barefoot shoes which McDougall made famous and the author himself say Gyllenhaal is involved in some capacity. Of course, he could just be producing the film and likes to stay in shape in a crazy challenging way. Super producing team and couple Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will produce the film and Sarsgaard is currently looking for financing. Sounds like an interesting assembly of talent for an adventurous story.

Tom, I agree one hundred percent with both of your posts.
ReplyDeleteInteresting about Peter directing and writing. I'd be really surprised if Jake ended up doing it though.
Whew! Twitter is overtaxed.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I'll tell you what, you want a dog with endless energy? Get a weimarunar. lol. Man, Maycee just never stops unless she's sleeping. If you're going to get a weimarunar, you better be prepared for a very itchy, energetic, all over the place dog.
This neighborhood they live in is very, very friendly. Everyone waves, says hello, talks to you. They know Chloe. There are dogs and kids alllll over the place. Kids are actually outside playing with each other, just like in the olden days. LOLL!!
Boy, Adam really hasn't been tweeting very much for awhile, just a few here & there. I am amazed at the number of celebrities who do tweet, though. Probably some do it reluctantly and only because their people tell them they need to, lol.
I have found the perfect little spot to get a decent connection now. It's in a specific chair at the dining room table next to the window which is off of the deck behind the adirandack(sp?) chair that I sit in out there. LOLLLL!! It must be in this spot, this chair.
huh, just thought of this. funny that Austin mentioned a bear costume, what with his fella getting ready to be seen on a show with Bear Gristle.
Okay, enough blogging. I should've been writing. **sigh**> Gotta wind it down and get ready to take my little doggies to bed.
I agree re: the pecking order. I think I said this the other day and this morning that by still hiding these kids, the guys are trying to spin the globe on the tip of their finger.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what their plans are. I'm still trying to cut them a break until BT has reached 4-5 yrs old. After that, if I'm still walking the earth and blogging, I'll have to change my direction. But I would hope that these 2 guys have a plan.
Surely they do not intend to keep these kids hidden. And by hidden, I don't mean down in the basement. I'm talking hidden away out away from HW.
Just because I talk about BT, talk about Ted's clues, joke about things like throwing fits in the middle of Wal-Mart without lamblasting Jake & Austin every time BT is even mentioned, does not mean that I approve of what they're doing, that I like what they're doing, that I find the entire situation acceptable or endearing.
I don't think any of us here are turning cartwheels about it.
And I think there is still this big unspoken pink elephant in the room misconception that a few of us are knitting booties and putting together BT scrapbooks over the Family Tile.
Well, let it be loudly known that I for one am not in approval of what the guys are doing!!!
But it is a huge story going on with constant tidbits and news, just like everything else and it cannot be ignored. And yeah, sometimes there is humor. Something cute. Something you can't help wondering about. But that doesn't mean we're twirling around like Stevie Nicks over the whole Jaustin family scenario.
Besides, babies aren't bad. They're human. They're born out of love. They are Jake's blood. And Austin's blood.
I truly wonder how we all would react if we actually were to see Jake and/or Austin on the cover of People magazine holding their children. What do those kids look like? Doesn't anybody ever wonder??? I know I do.

ReplyDeleteTom, I agree one hundred percent with both of your posts.
Interesting about Peter directing and writing. I'd be really surprised if Jake ended up doing it though.
I wish I could enjoy just being a fan of J and a but I can't Destiny.
I don't think there is a BT anymore it would be unforgivable. But I do believe Jake is Gay. That he outright lies about that is hard to take but being a father who denys his child would be unforgivable. Not sure where I am headed with all this but I am hanging on by a thread but being involved at all.
And does that make me a monster for wanting to see that or wonder about it?
ReplyDeleteBecause honestly, that's the vibe that I get sometimes.
Then I'll be a monster because in the end, I follow my own heart and my own little brain. And I truly do believe these guys have a little brood going on.
Oh my DOG!!!! The wind is howling out there.
ReplyDeleteThey said we could get dangerous winds tonight - like 80 mph!!!
If something happens, guys, someone pick up my name-bending habit, you know the one, that so annoys someone next door. I will bequeath my avatar file to M&M.
lol. I'm not kidding. That wind is howling out there and making weird noises. I better go check the deck and fold up that captain's chair.
And the house is making funny noises, too. Oh oh, I think I hear hail now!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey said it could be really big hail.
lol - can you tell I'm alone? I want my MOM!!!!!!!
Ooops, I meant that it would be a riot if Spesh had included that in her Top Ten!
ReplyDeleteNice to hear that the Cubs are involved in the 'It Gets Better' project.
I think it's entirely possible there is a BT, and I agree that with assisted reproduction, the likelihood that there would be more than one is high, but I have a 'wait and see' attitude about it. I don't speculate any further than that on it. If there is a family, I'd love to see them on a magazine cover feature someday.
Go Cubs. It gets better.
ReplyDeleteDid you survive the windstorm PG? Once while visiting family in Colorado the wind one night got up over 80 miles an hour, I really thought the house was going to take off and I was going to wake up in Oz.
ReplyDeleteTed is in full attack mode today. I wont reprint all the text, just the portions that point directly to Jake is Toothy Tile.
ReplyDelete"For me, it's all about discovery," Gyllenhaal stated in the press release about the two-day survival experience that "neither will forget." --- Oh, Jakey-poo, don't you know there are ways to discover yourself here in exotic Los Angeles? Or, ya know, some of the seedier spots in Hollywood...
"The wild is always very revealing—not only physically but mentally," Grylls revealed of letting J.G. tag along. "You've got to smile when it's driving horizontal hail and be able to face your fears and just get on and do it—and on both of those accounts, Jake came up strong." --- Yeah, Jake, just get on and do it! That's what we've been telling you all along.
But I thought Ted has always been fond of Jake. Why would he "attack" him?
ReplyDeleteM did you notice that Ted did not have the byline but it was Team Truth?
ReplyDeleteHere is the link to the article:
Boys Gone Wild! Bear Grylls Helps Jake Gyllenhaal Discover Himself
Well, we had rain, thunder, lightning, the usual stuff. Some strong winds.
ReplyDeleteBut I think I was watching too much Weather Channel because I don't think it was that bad. LOLLLL!! But wow, the house was making noises and all that.
Music Lover, I appreciate your comment up there.
What a terrible morning at work!!!!!! My big buddy is driving me crazy and I'm sure I'm driving him crazy and it'll be a miracle if we survive the afternoon. lol
JG = blind vice superstar.
ReplyDeleteHELLO..............
Hold on PG.
ReplyDeleteIt may have been written by Team Truth, but I'm sure Ted approves whatever goes in his column, and it looks like he's decided to turn up the heat on Jake--not that it's going to do any good.
