Worst Idea Ever…

Posted by: Selena Kang

Let me clarify that subject line…

Worst Idea (FOR GREG) Ever…

Greg wants this:

Here’s a little description of what it is from the web:
“This is the alarm clock that is guaranteed to wake you up! Nobody sleeps through this! It wakes you up by firing four puzzle pieces up in the air, and then it is your task to get the pieces and put them back in the alarm clock—it won’t turn off until then.”

The morning after he told me he wanted this, his alarm went off at usual foghorn level at 6:00 a.m. and he hit snooze. Then got up and disappeared for his usual Happy Morning Gregtime, leaving me with his insanely loud alarm going off every ten minutes. Of course, he doesn’t even realize this because he has turned on every radio in our home and is happily listening to all three of those while he showers.

On another note, on Saturday afternoon, an alarm went off on the waterproof clock in his shower. What he needed an alarm set in the shower for, I have no idea.

    Okay, I *never* want to be woken up by something that shoots pieces of hard plastic into the air! What if they hit you? This does not sound like a good idea…. and that shower alarm is a mystery. Does Greg use a 3-minute conditioner and actually time it? I can’t think of any other reason…?

    shouldn’t they make an alarm clock that catapults GREG into the air in the morning? I can’t even choose socks before I have coffee in the morning; freakn’ puzzle pieces would make this machine into pulverized-waste-of-money in one single morning.

    this is erich by the way
    (if you didn’t guess)

    A catapult alarm clock is the first step on the road to the Jetsons wake us system that shoots you through a tube and you come out the other side already cleansed, dressed and holding a cup of coffee… alas that is still a pipedream.

    Maybe if you had an alarm that played Rico Suave you would not mind hearing it every 10 minutes.
