Alarm Clocks

LarlarLarlar consecutive normal brunchesModerator, ClubPA Mod Emeritus
edited June 2007 in Social Entropy++
My ex-roommate's birthday is coming up and he has this old POS alarm clock, so I'm getting him a new one. I want it to be ridiculous but practical (i.e.: something he would actually use). It's hard to wake the bastard up, so I either need something loud or something that requires more than a sleep-flopping arm to shut it off. Don't really need a radio in it.

After some searching, I'm tring to decide between these:
Clocky
Sonic Boom (113 db is insane)

Help me decide which one of those I should get, or give me another neat clock option here. Or tell me to go to his house and wake him up every day with my penis. Or talk about Sheri.

    I looked at that one, too, but the thing takes too long to take off. And the fact that it's solely battery powered is a minus, too.

    Hey Larlar

    Fuck you

    Also, I vote for Clocky

    Or invent something that beats the sleeper with a robotic arm in order to wake them up.

    Well then I'd definitely say go for Clocky as long as you can reach all the crevices in your room it might end up in.

    It really is.

    That's why I use my cell phone as an alarm most of the time.

    All waking up to "You're the best...around. Nothing's gonna ever keep you down."

    Just makes you excited to face the day.
