I woke up late and thought, "It's probably like 10am or something!" Looked at the time: 09:59. Hello, clock brain.

@120new: Neat. I like it when I wake up and know what time it is. Saves reaching for my glasses or squinting at the clock.
-
@gamerchick02 It'd be nice to have a voice-activated clock. Just say, "What time is it?" & it tells you & says "Good morning, my dear." :D
-
@gamerchick02 Now I've started thinking about the voice-activated clock, I'd really prefer a voice-activated kettle, to make a cup of tea.
-
@120new A friend got one (post divorce to cheer) w/ voice of English butler.http://store.komando.com/p-435-personal-butler-alarm-clock.aspx
-
@stoney That's fantastic! I had no idea they existed - and with Mr Fry's gorgeous voice as well! It'd be almost worth waking up every day.
-
@stoney I checked Wikipedia for "butler", btw, to see what the female equivalent is, & now I think it should be a valet/lady's-maid clock.

@stoney Now I'm imagining what it's like to have servants. How weird that must be. Weird and FANTASTIC: "Tea, please." "Certainly, ma'am."
-
@120new ...I'd be a bad boss, tho. I wouldn't want to talk to the servants. I'd want them to just make the tea & go away, quietly.
-
@120new Neil Young, 'A man needs a maid': "Just someone to keep my house clean / Fix my meals / And go away." A valet clock might be better.
-
@120new: Oooh. But a voice activated clock that wakes me up? I'd grumble at it to be quiet while I'm half asleep!
-
@120new: Now that's a BRILLIANT idea. I'd want a voice activated coffee pot. "Make me coffee! Regular! With 2 sugars and 1 cream!" :-D
-
@jargon: I keep my cell downstairs. I've gotten calls at 2 AM before. I don't like being woken up like that!
-
@gamerchick02: oh yeah that has happened to me as well, and I am in the same boat as you. Stupid friends and their drunk dialing!
-
@120new: I'd love that. A hot butler to get me coffee when I want it. Well... I don't know. I like doing my own stuff. Usually. ;)
-
@gamerchick02 Yeah, a hot butler wouldn't work here, either. One look at me in the morning & the poor lad would resign. Me: "...But my tea!"
-
@gamerchick02: yeah I know what you mean, I usually put it on silence mode.
-
Y'know, I'm a huge Neil Young fan (from the 1st, mind you), @120new. Forgotten lines! I'd be a bad boss, too. Either 2 chummy or 2 distant.
-
@120new How's this: "Shall I cancel today's spa appointment, madam? *You* have no need of it & would only depress the other guests.) <snork>
-
@stoney Ha! Love that! And I loved <snork> most of all. Is that like a snuffled laugh? I don't actually care, anyway; it's funny. <snork>
-
@stoney I checked Wikipedia for "Arthur"; can't remember seeing it. I guess John Gielgud played a pretty solid valet - won an Oscar & all.
-
@stoney Do you remember an orchestra in "A man needs a maid"? I only heard the song again the other day & had NEVER noticed that before.
-
@120new My best buddy & I used <snork> (back in the day, before Young even) as explosive laughter combined w/ nose-snort nose. We'd say ...
-
@120new Now that you mention the orchestra I recall it, but when I just read the line, his name, I didn't. Funny how triggers work!
-
!wotd snork: to snort loudly while laughing; an exclamation to embarrass a snorker - Urban Dictionary http://ur1.ca/lu24 Ta, @stoney!
-
I kept getting a "message too long" error when trying to send the previous notice, which went away after I re-added the http:// to the link.
-
@stoney The funny/weird thing with "snork" is that it's funnier to look at than to hear; the sound is too slow to really represent a snort.
-
@exador23 Hey, that notice wins another in-context prize! It links to my notice about snorking :D
-
@exador23 (whispering) I'm not completely sure what focus means, anyway. Just that the page takes you to the relevant notice straight away?
-
@120new It *is* fun to say out loud, tho, in a slightly self-deprecating way. Something about 'sn' joined to 'k' that's rewarding.
-
@120new It *is* fun to say it, tho, esp. if slightly self-deprecating. Something about sn__k that is a rewarding sound. Like: sneak, snack,
-
@stoney Snork sounds like sniffing snuff from a tiny spork instead of a spoon.

Rich! @exador23
-
@120new & maybe "snook," which if isn't a word, should be. (Snook is a fish, as it happens.)
-
@stoney When I say it, it sounds like "snoooook", and I'm imagining a snork as a faster sound - like a scoff, but more drink thru the nose.
-
@120new not ages, that check-up was last week. But he still promised me results before the weekend.
-
@hz Last week is ages ago when you're waiting on the results of a health test. You're doing well not to be screaming. (Unless you are.)
-
@120new oh Im screaming & cussing, notn new there tho. Ive just become a lil better to applying net filters, in real life.. not so much. ;)
-
@120new Yes, snook is a fish. Snooker is a billiard game.
-
@hz Haha! Glad I can't hear that... The filter does seem to be working...
-
@ragnarokangel But a snork, a snork! Does a snork work for snooks when they're scoffing?
-
@120new What is the relation of a Snork to a snark?
-
@ragnarokangel I'm useless at this game. My brain won't play any more. (sniff) (hoping to snork too, for effect, but nah, it's not working)
-
@120new You don't have to be all snerky about it.
-
@frankenspock I seriously have no comeback for "snerky". You're an unbeatable brainiac, dammit. Going outside for a walk in the rain now.
-
@120new See now, "unbeatable brainiac" was actually snarky.
-
@frankenspock will Texas Robot be capable of executing Death Sentences?
