annoying alarm clocks

When I was a little girl, I hated getting up in the morning. I had to get up at 6am every day for school, and getting me out of bed was quite the chore. (Hmm…I’m 30, and that hasn’t changed!) My mom solved the problem by getting what was possibly one of the worlds worst alarm clocks. It featured Mickey Mouse on a train, and instead of a bell or a buzz or a beep, Mickey talked:

“CHOOCHOO! Time to get up and brush your teeth and have a GOOD BREAKFAST!! CHOOCHOO”

Imagine being awakened by that nonsense 5 days a week? I thought that topped the list of awful alarm clocks, but this flying alarm clock may just take the cake. Imagine something whirling around the room, flying up to 9 feet high, until you get up and return the rotor to the alarm clock base. I am quite sure that had this been around in the early 80’s, my mom would have bought one for me.
