The Disappearance

Well, I gave you a break, but I hope you're ready for the inevitable. I hate to break it to you! Grab another sword for use; you may need it. (but not on ME!!)

After the feast (more or less) came the Speech. Most of the company were, however, in a tolerant mood, at that delightful stage which they called 'filling up the corners'. they were sipping their favorite drinks and nibbling at their favorite dainties, and their fears were forgotten. They were prepared to listen to anything, and to cheer at every full stop.
My dear People! began Bilbo, rising in his place. 'Hear!Hear!' they shouted, seeming reluctant to follow their own advice.
My dear Bagginses and Boffins, he began again, Tooks and Brandybucks, Grubbs, Chubbs, Burrowses, and Hornblowers, Bolgers, Bracegirdles, Goodbodies, Brockhouses and Proudfoots. 'ProudFEET!' shouted a hobbit from the back of the pavillion.
I hope you all are enjoying yourselves as much as I am. Deafening cheers. Cries of Yes (and No)
I shall not keep you long, he cried. Cheers from all the asembly. I have called you all for a Purpose. Something in the way he said this made an impression. There was almost silence, and one or two of the Tooks pricked up their ears.
I wish to make an ANNOUNCEMENT. He said this last word so loudly and suddenly that everyone sat up who still could.
This is the END. I am going. I am leaving NOW. GOODBYE!
He stepped down and vanished. There was a blinding flash of light, and the guests all blinked. When they opened their eyes Bilbo was nowhere to be seen. One hundred and forty-four flabbergasted hobbits sat back speechless. Then there was a dead silence until suddenly, after several deep breaths, every Baggins, Boffin, Took, Brandybuck, Grubb, Chubb, Burrows, Bolger, Bracegirdle, Brockhouse, Goodbody, Hornblower, and Proudfoot began to talk at once.

Have fun!

Alarm Clock Woes

I need some help - I just got an alarm clock, and it's really cute, but I'm clueless on how to work it! The manual helps some, but I wonder if any of you wonderfully smart people out there - okay, or ninjas - would know how to get it to go on without having to have the alarm on as well?!?! The thing that my family finds really lazy and pitiful(and it is really pitiful) is that it has a speech recognition. All you have to say is "Snooze", and it will snooze!! Pitiful.It is really cute, though, is it not?
