Hi Grandma Jerri! How is my very favorite paternal grandmother? Great, let me get to the point. You know that TV in your family room? No, not that one, the one UNDER that one. The ancient TV that hasn’t worked sine the Eisenhower era, that is currently acting as a stand for the TV that does work? Yes, that’s the one. I’m coming for it. I’m going to take it off your hands, no need to thank me.
Grandma, just let it go. LET IT GO. No, you aren’t going to ever “use it for parts” trust me. Yes, I know Kyson is a talented mechanic, but I don’t think he can, or will ever get your TV running again, a) because it’s a TV not a car, b) because it’s a certifiable antique and c) why does it matter, you already have one that works! LET IT GO GRANDMA! If you keep this up, I’m going to come clean out your meat freezer when you aren’t home.
Ok.
Thanks Grandma. Love you too. Bye.

September 20, 2010 at 5:46 PMOMG. I am so “relieving” my grandmother of her old “tv stand” now. That is just too awesome.

September 20, 2010 at 5:55 PMMy favorite use of an old TV stand was where they put an aquarium with fishies inside! It’s both attractive and a social commentary on how we could probably stand to watch less of the boob tube.
Google Image search shows plenty: TV turned Fish Tank
