It can now be confirmed that even though all male share houses tend to be disgusting, they also create a safe space for young men to start experimenting.
With their creativity, that is.
One such share house, a slightly dilapidated Queenslander named the ‘Mojo Dojo Casa House’ (formerly known as the ‘Snake Pit’) has seen hundreds of tenants over the years, and is particularly popular amongst recent home leavers due to its proximity to Dan Murphys and Betoota Polytechnic College – the latter of which, means the owner is always guaranteed tenants no matter how run down the house gets.
And for the past three months, those tenants have included six boys between the ages of 18 and 23, who have quickly created quite the cozy home for themselves, filled with all the items you’d expect in an all male share house.
A lack of bed frames, empty rum bottles as decor, a soiled couch that was clearly found on the street, a Foosball table, and the creme de le creme – mysterious manventions!
One of tenants, 21 year old engineering student named Marcus, tells our reporter some of the back stories behind these creative engineering solutions, that range from mindblowingly stupid to borderline genius.
“Um yeah, so this is our wizard staff”, he says, pointing six foot contraption that appears to be multiple beer cans sticky taped together, “we just thought it’d be funny.”
“The goal is to get the ceiling but all the beers have to be different.”
Our reporter remarks that it might be hard to navigate a 12 foot wizard staff. Marcus just shrugs.
“And this is our remote spatula.”
“We kept losing the remote so it just makes it easier to find.”
“Apple remotes are just way too fucking small bro.”
Our reporter can’t help but agree that’s a good idea.
“Ummmmm and yeah that’s our bong.”
“The old bottle got really gross but we couldn’t find a new one so we just stuck it in an apple.”
“Buys us some time, you know.”
More to come.
