I don't own Clocky, I just love him. My cell phone has been my alarm for years.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I adore Clocky in principle, but I suspect that actually getting one would be the second non-negotiable grounds for divorce (the first being, of course, letting the other win at fencing.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The other day I saw an alarm clock that has this approx. 2" ball that sites on top. When the alarm goes off, it throws the ball, and to get it to snooze you have to find the ball and put it back on its spot on top of the clock.
I think that's a more elegant solution that Clocky, who admittedly has a very cool name.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I do have a Clocky (Paramount swag from a few years back - no idea what movie they were trying to promote with it), but we gave it to Dylan to play with instead of using it as an alarm. If it's still working in 15 years he can take it to college.

Oh, I ordered this alarm clock today: [link] (it's a kit)
The Ice Tube clock ($70 USD) gets its brilliant blue display thanks to an old-school Russian-issued VFD (vacuum fluorescent display) tube. It’s set inside of a spiffy clear acrylic shell, which lets you see its internal circuitry whenever you want. Each tube has 8 glowy blue digits, as well as a dot indicator for PM and an alarm on/off indicator.
While the Ice Cube kit includes everything you need to build a standard alarm clock with day/date functionality, both hardware and software are open source, so you can mod this to do something else if you want – say display text messages or run the time backwards.

It's still 90 degrees out. I thought it would get cooler but it only got dark.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
When I met you you were like "Oh pooh, I burned the dang muffins." Now you go into a bar and sailors come running out.

Oh, I ordered this alarm clock today:
You know, Tommy, that you can get pre-made clocks that don't require lethal high voltage.
