Alarm Clocks [PICS]

  
 
Quantum
18:27 / 25.01.07
As a heavy sleeper I want one of these; Clocky!

  
 
Ticker
18:31 / 25.01.07
I want one of these:

I want one of these:

  
 
Elijah, Freelance Rabbi
19:03 / 25.01.07
You found my calendar! I was told those pictures would only be used for art, and I needed the money for college.

As it stands this wakes me up


or this
  
 
Princess
19:08 / 25.01.07
Elijah, you are mean. Why do you get to have all the best kitten?




I have no kitten.

I is woken by these two:



working in tandem. Snoofling and puling.

20:23 / 25.01.07
You, sir, are a joke-thief.

I am woken by the dulcit tones of John Humphreys, closely followed by the less dulcit tones of the shrieky, shrieky parrots. It is just about possible to ignore John Humphreys, it is impossible to ignore youthful parrots who want to get up and have fun.

However, none of my morning gettupage helpers hold a candle to Quantum's running away alarm clock, which is hugely amusing.

A cheap radio-alarm with poor reception, sort of semi-tuned to a Catalan-language talk station. This is very annoying but not as annoying as an actual alarm. I do not like to have anything that rings, bleeps, or buzzes. They tend to end up on the floor while I try to turn them off by screaming at them.
 
 
Alex's Grandma
01:02 / 26.01.07
The lad I've hired, Juan, to wheel me into the swimming pool, first thing. He's very lovely.

While I'm in there, sometimes waving, sometimes drowning (in which case he has to rescue me,) he serves up my breakfast; a Big Mac and fries, a McChicken sandwich, a bacon double chesseburger, extra fries, onion rings, a Filet-O-Fish, a large order of Chicken McNuggets, with extra fries, a gallon of coffee (which Juan liberally seasons with mescal - he's a good lad, so it's about half and half,) and, because I'm trying to think about my health these days, a Caeser salad (with all the trimmings, admittedly,) and a diet coke.

It's only then that I'm ready to face the world.

Joke thief? I'm not joking. My alarm clock broke months ago when one of the sprogs spilled something on it.

I haven't needed it; the boy and dog both rise well before any sane person needs to.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
05:50 / 26.01.07
The blurry buzz of white noise issues forth from my clock radio and demands that I stand up and turn it off. We have this argument every morning. It pointedly tunes itself between stations and keeps the volume up and I go and turn it off and stumble back to bed for "five more minutes."
 
 
Unconditional Love
07:06 / 26.01.07
The banging of postmen on doors, nightmares, the workshop machinery of my neighbor above, needing a wee and the knowledge that something nice that i like is coming in the post so i must get up or trek to the postoffice, otherwise i sleep sleep sleep.
 
 
Whisky Priestess
09:14 / 26.01.07
One of these, only in red:



I am reliably informed that its beeping is the most annoying sound in the world.
 
 
Axolotl
16:06 / 26.01.07
A combination of a cheap travel alarm clock, my phone alarm on snooze (with 10 minute interval), and my watch on snooze (with 5 minute interval). All of these over a period of about half an hour normally manage to drag me out of my pit. If all of these fail my flatmate slamming the door on his way out normally jerks me into a horrible realisation that I've overslept and have to get my arse in gear.
What I really want though is this:



Which wakes you up with "yeaaaah boy" or a variety of other Flava Flav sayings. But it is too rich for my blood, and probably quite annoying after the first couple of times if I'm honest with myself.

Moloko, "Fun for Me."

Time to change the CD in the alarm clock.
 
 
Feverfew
19:33 / 26.01.07
Mint Royale, "Don't Falter". Ditto.
 
 
Mazarine
23:37 / 26.01.07
Do you keep dreaming that the Boogie Man went down on Mr. Spock? Cause Spock needs some lovin' too.

I have just seen this alarm clock, and I think I entirely must have it.


The Sonic Boom Love Clock.

Louder than a jackhammer and if that doesn't work, it'll shake you out of bed.
 
 
Kali, Queen of Kitteh

I am awoken by two things in the morning: a rather large cat and my cellphone repeatedly asking me if it's ginger.
 
 
stabbystabby
10:02 / 01.02.07
my cell phone, singing punk rock at full volume. it upsets my partner, who then wakes me up.



effective.
 
 
Olulabelle
11:14 / 01.02.07
my cellphone repeatedly asking me if it's ginger.

Why does it do that? And is it?

I like the clocky, however I bet it won't hide very well from the cats.

My alarm tends to be either my mobile with alarm setting or my seven year old cat sitting on my neck. The mobile is slightly less annoying.

It's a Doctor Who soundbite and it isn't.

This week, it's a Cyberman exhorting me to "Upgrade! Upgrade!"
