I've told you before what home shopping junkies my parents are. They call their finds "economical" and "practical". I simply call them "compulsive" and "random". You never know what you'll find squirreled away all over the house...
For instance, I happened upon this item while rummaging under the stairs the other day...

I'm sure it's a brilliant invention and I'm sure it's revolutionized grilling as we know it, but I just wonder how much grilled chicken my two empty-nester parents go through to justify a whole "thingy-ma-bobber"...
Okay, so I DID move back in with them last week and I'm sure was all the justification they needed to make several new purchases yet to be discovered.As if they need any excuse... just ask my mom's
Oh, and of course, the Tony Little Gazelle....
All acquired when my sisters and I weren't looking and least suspected it.
This afternoon, while they were at work, I went ahead and blocked QVC...
Shhh!

That's actually really funny. Tony Little? Boohoohaahah
Oh wow! I thought my mom was the only one addicted to QVC! The Diamonique jewelery, the hundreds of dollars in junk, the obsession with having the channel on at all times...it's scary!
Quite possibly your funniest post ever. Which is saying a lot. I always wondered about those "gazelle" thingies since I don't know anyone that would look at Tony Little and think, "Damn, I really wanna look like him." Now that drumstick thingie, that's another story...gotta go, QVC awaits!
omgoodness, they are going to go through QVC withdrawals. :D
Holy moly...the Gazelle...that is priceless!
OMG. YOu are hilarious. My mother -n-law is to mail order catalog what your parents are to QVC. She orders so much CRAP from those catalogs. I swear my mail woman hates us.
I'm dying to know their reaction when they realized they couldn't get their QVC fix!
