I'd choose a digital alarm clock because otherwise I would never get to work. I'd miss my analog wall clocks though. They are prettier and I like to have a clock in every room since I don't wear a watch. |

Maybe you have a clock fetish. Do you see a penis when you look at a pendulum? uh, hmm, ck, stop being a psychoanalyst. Okay, sorry Dora. Gotta go to my group therapy now. With the other half of me, dang ck always trying to start trouble. I like granfather clocks. Built one from scratch years ago. solid walnut. beautiful |

Once a friend of mine tried to tell me that bunnies were a phallic symbol:"because they are all fuzzy and soft and yet resistant."
so I pointed at my boyfriend and said "He's fuzzy,soft and yet resistant,he's a phallic symbol too??"
I'm not obsessed by penis/es/i,but I have a time obsession.Maybe is that. |

Recently I've been looking for a smallish digital radio-alarm clock with a black-on-grey display which isn't backlit but which has a backlighting option. If I could only have one clock, it would definitely have to be an alarm clock. But if I were just picking one not based on the need to wake up in the morning, then it would probably be some kind of funky analog wall clock (no pendulum). |

I'm gonna clock ya good.... |

The grandfather clock that used to be for sale up in Hanover, NH that had an all wood mechanism. |

I hate wearing watches. I am happy with the clock on my cell phone- it has an alarm too. |

a grandfather clock, specifically the one that tom hanks has in the hall of his apartment in "you've got mail"! |

I want a watch with no numbers. I simply want to say "What time is it?" and the watch will say "11:45 P.M. now get off line and go to bed!" |

A Black Forest Cuckoo Clock! |
| Kristal_Rose |
A wind-up rotary hourglass musical-cuckoo alarm orery (which shows earthly illumination, planet & positions, and seasonal inclinations) |
| Kristal_Rose |
My son has one inherited through my fathers for about 250 years. |

Lucky him!! We had a cousin (now deceased) who lived in Portland. When my grandmother, sister and I visited my sister and I slept on a pull out couch and on the wall above the couch was a Black Forest Cuckoo clock. I have always coveted that clock and wish I had one of my own. If I had a second choice it would be one of those black and white cat clocks with the moving eyes. One of my best friends when I was in junior high had one. She also had a canopy bed and a pink Princess phone of her own in her bedroom. You can imagine how envious I was!  I had none of these and wanted them all! |

Boring, I know, but I'd go for a digital alarm clock. |

A watch with a good alarm on it. Digital - not a wind up and one that doesn't tick. |

For me, I cannot be late anywhere or I get totally stressed out. I am the guy who is always 2 hours early for airline flights. Of course, now you have to be there 2 hours early in the U.S. to get through all the security checks. Last time I flew a couple months ago I got there 2 hours early and finally made it to the boarding gate just as they were starting to load the plane. Then they searched me all over again.
personally, I like penises. I find them more attractive than vaginas. Nice to have something you can hang onto, watch it grow, ..... |

I don't know, I suppose a digital alarm clock that was styled after a vintage alarm clock would be kind of cool. I gave this clock to a friend for her housewarming party a couple of years ago. It was new, but resembled something from 1957-1963 era. |

I'm getting a radio alarm clock to take to uni in the hope that the sound of a human voice will wake me up better than a beeper. |
| dora |
No,I don't care about being late...it's more like feeling the time ticking and days passing and when you have to die you suddenly understand that you wasted all your time.
I like penises too,but they are kinda funny. |
| Kristal_Rose |
Oh yeah, that's one of my top choices for a clock too. I bet they have them on eBay. I wonder if there were models prior to the 70's in which the pendulum tail actually drove clockworks.
I just saw one of those illuminated pink princess phonesa week ago at an antique store and was tempted to get it. My phone now is gloss black with clear lucite and a perimeter of space-blue neon lighting. I liken it to galactic telepathy device, which is what I was doing when I got it. |
| darkshadowsseeker |
I've seen Princess phones (in powder blue) and the older model cat clocks in local antique/collectible stores, but they were priced beyond my current means! |

I know, you laugh at penises. |
| Jemmy |
A digital alarm/cd player clock radio thing. |
| Kristal_Rose |
I saw the powder blue wall phone there too. I want one of the deco cone/pyramid desk phones. It would entail using my computer to dial phone tree menus though. Older cats meaning 70's? Are newer ones not up to snuff? |
| darkshadowsseeker |
Older cat's as in the 1960's. I don't know if the newer ones are up to snuff, but I would just prefer an original.

What is a pea-clock? I understand the play on words but describe it! |
| sonikJ | | posted 29-Sep-2002 5:45pm |
I never learned to read an analog clock. I grew up in the 80's. We were spoiled with Velcro shoes and digital clocks! |

Are you perhaps overplaying your point? Or are you that out of that scene? My kids were clueless on how a record player works, so i could believe you. |

A pea-clock is a feathered clock that has the shape of a bird. It's chest is the clock and is crows every hour. Cats love it! |
