The first time this thing went off, that'd be it. Game over for clocky the annoying alarm clock. And I thought my current one was bad... mine's so loud and tough that I literally need to crawl out of bed and smash it on the walls and floors to get the batteries to pop out. Oh lord.

And I thought my current one was bad… mine’s so loud and tough that I literally need to crawl out of bed and smash it on the walls and floors to get the batteries to pop out.

I'd just learn to ignore the blaring noise. My current alarm clock methodology is my laptop with about 4 different songs from my library that I choose the night before. One start playing every 10 minutes, starting about an hour before I actually want to get out of bed. That almost works. :) My problem – I can sleep through anything.

Except with my long arms, I run the risk of actually reaching it before it tries to go "off-road" out of my reach. XD Of course, putting it <i>too</i> far isn't going to work - I have a notorious habit of getting up and walking over (and by over, I mean on top of) anything in my path, be it PS2 controllers, pants (with keys inside) or people. :o Jon – you have a point.

I have three alarm clocks now and I've also set my computer to play an annoying playlist if the first three lines of defense don't work. If I can trash all the clocks I have laying around for something that wants to play hide and seek with me in the morning, I'd be happy camper. This might actually become a necessity for me.

Probably acts no different then the Mars rovers... if there is a something in the way... it just sit there :-) As long as the engineers haven't been too bored and integrated a Type 89 Grenade Discharger in the back with speaker saying: "You now have 5... 4... 3... 2... 1" (hatch in the back opens up) "0... this is your last warning" (ejection of 2lbs of C-4 munitions 5 ft in the air) KABOOM You are now awake along with everybody a mile around... and your room gets blasted clean as a bonus!

“You now have 5… 4… 3… 2… 1″ (hatch in the back opens up)
“0… this is your last warning” (ejection of 2lbs of C-4 munitions 5 ft in the air)
KABOOM

You are now awake along with everybody a mile around… and your room gets blasted clean as a bonus!

Of course, it also serves as incentive to clean my room a bit more often...

If you need a device like this to wake you up in the morning... making sure you are pissed off to welcome a new day... then it's time to go to bed a little earlier at night ;-) Jon ps: No wonder we got such road rage issues...
