Wake Up To Homer, Moe, Barney, or Duffman

For all of you The Simpsons fans out there, this one is for you. This is a Moe’s Tavern alarm clock that lets you wake up to some of the following sounds:
Homer: “To alcohol, the cause and solution to all of life’s problems.”
Moe: “Is there an I P Freely here? Hey everybody, I P Freely!!”
Barney: “Hey can I throw up in your bathroom? I’ll buy something…”
Duffman: “Duffman wants to party down with the man who sent in 10,000 duff labels!”

The way it works is that you set the character that you want to wake up to in the “master position.” Pushing the bar stool down acts as the snooze button. The clock comes with 12 phrases in total. 4 AA batteries are required and it costs about $25 from Play.com.
