A Twist on How To Wrap A Cat For Christmas

How to Wrap A Cat For Christmas is a huge hit on YouTube right now but we prefer Conan's take involving Andy Richter.

Merry Christmas From OKCtoPDX!!

A Playhouse Christmas!

We are extremely lucky to have several vintage 80s Christmas specials (complete with commercials) on VHS, and a tape player to watch them with. Our favorite Christmas special is Pee Wee's Playhouse Christmas and we watch it every year. The special has some really incredible guest stars like Oprah, Dinah Shore, Cher, and Charo plus many classic Pee Wee moments. If you aren't lucky enough to already own a bit of Pee Wee Christmas fun you can buy it here or watch it on YouTube, see part 1 below.

Merry Christmas and Happy New YEAR (ahhhh)!!!

All We Want for Christmas is Doctor Who

This year, thanks to Netflix, we had the pleasure of enjoying several great British television series. We watched The Black Adder, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Sherlock, Doc Martin, Torchwood, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and Jeeves and Wooster to name a few. However, Doctor Who has stolen our hearts and is by far our favorite. Our obsession started last Christmas when we watched a couple classic Doctor Who episodes from the 1960s and 70s. We then swiftly moved into the new Doctor Who series (that started in 2005), and spent a good portion of this year watching those. Apparently Doctor Who fans in Britain often spend Boxing Day enjoying Doctor Who episodes both old and new, so we plan to spend part of our Christmas holiday enjoying some time and space fun with "The Doctor".

Our love of British tv led us to the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Craig had a very interesting hour long interview with Stephen Fry this year, and it peaked our interest to watch his show more often. He is the funniest guy on late night television and whenever we can keep our eyes open past 12:30am we like to catch his show. So now back to Doctor Who, Craig recently provided his audience with a great musical explanation of the Doctor Who series when he had Matt Smith (who plays the 11th "Doctor") as a guest on his show.



If that video clip wasn't holiday themed enough for your liking then you can go here and watch Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Fallon exchange Christmas gifts. Cheerio!

Me Cookie Face

I think we can all agree that Betty White is experiencing a much deserved resurgence in popularity due mostly to a Facebook campaign to get her to host SNL. Well the people are trying to do it again and this time the internets want Cookie Monster. Now that's something we can get behind! Here is Cookie Monster's SNL audition tape. May it bring you joy while you bake your holiday cookies.

OKC Christmas Tradition

This blog has been seriously lacking in Oklahoma related posts so here you go. B.C. Clark's is an Oklahoma jewelry store and it's iconic jingle is a staple of Christmas in Oklahoma. Oklahomans sing this jingle right along with "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". Ever since we left the Sooner State we pine for the jingle around this time every year and go searching for it on the internet. Merry Christmas Oklahoma-style!!

Happy Caturday!

Man in a Lady-Wig

The other day we were standing in line at UPS waiting to mail our last package of presents and we thought of the hilarious SNL UPS skit featuring Bill Hader. So here you go Bill Hader as Man in a Lady-Wig. Enjoy!

Give Winter the Middle Finger

Two weeks ago Portland dodged a big snow bullet, but Washington state did receive a good amount of snow. The snow and cold temperatures had an unintended affect on a crossing sign in Spokane, Washington. See the video below.

Jumping the Shark

It has been our experience that when a television show starts running low on ideas the writers do one of two things. 1) They come up with something outlandish and totally unbelievable. A classic example of which is Fonzie jumping a shark in the classic television show Happy Days or 2) They put together a clips show. So in an effort to avoid jumping the shark we are going to put together a series of fun video clips for your enjoyment throughout the month of December. Consider it our holiday gift to you. Happy Holidays!!

Happy Caturday!

OKCtoPDX in OH

Hello again everybody! Well that was a longer hiatus than originally expected, sorry guys. One half of the OKCtoPDX team spent most of October in Ohio taking of some stuff and doing very Ohio-y things like enjoying fall foliage, eating pumpkin spice cookies, and watching Ohio State lose to Wisconsin. Then the same half manged to pick up a nasty cold which is now on the run, thus allowing OKCtoPDX to get back to the very important task of blogging.
