They say malt liquor tastes better on the street. I wouldn’t know because I don’t live in a cardboard condominium but I do enjoy my malt liquor. Apparently so do designers Barry Sheehan and Gregor Timlin for their concept of the Shelter Cart in light of Designboom’s mobile living/storage competition.

It’s your standard cart but flip it over and you’ve got yourself a chillin’ bachelor pad. Why stay homeless when you can have the luxuries of life without the bullshit that comes along with paying for utilities and doing your taxes? Invite all the ladies over, but please, no sex in the champagne room. The cart was made to raise awareness about the issue of urban homelessness, not for breeding more hobos. Everyone’s screamin’ for change.

If you live in a major city, you know about the crazy homeless religious fanatics which turn up every so often at a major street corner, clutching a Bible to their chest and preaching about the upcoming apocalypse and how we’re all going to burn in hell. Meanwhile, Pastor Hobo over here is chugging booze through out his whole sermon.

For true drunken religious fanaticism, you need an expert solution for hiding your booze. And since most of these hobos remember every verse from the Bible anyway, they luckily don’t need a complete book. The Good Book from Suck UK is truly a great book for the nomadic preacher, hiding a 4oz flask within its “pages”, and would sure make an awesome prop for the next Tarantino flick.
