Utilising Alex as domestic hardware
Just like a kitchen gadget we bought but rarely used, for entertainment or intrigue, housemate Alex shows about as much promise as a spent SodaStream gas canister.
So … he should be re-purposed, recycled, re-imagined … as a useful domestic appliance. How would you upcycle Alex Cannon? As a door stop? Perhaps as a draught excluder? Maybe as a vocal “Bring your washing in” rain alert system? Or would you re-purpose Alex as a modest, but functional, ecliptic sun tracking solar clock? How could such an inert, non-demonstrative object of inertia be transformed into a useful or worthwhile piece of domestic hardware? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au9_vfx6t6c |

He could stand in a stately home kitchen, naked, and be a bespoke sort of mangle.
Both use and ornament. |

He could stand in the garden, naked, with his arms out, draped with washing items and spin around in an amusing way. |

He could be a sort of food processor.
He could stand in a kitchen, naked, with a big cocktail shaker, and be there to shake things. That would be useful and again, amusing, especially when he's doing his thing. |

I'm not sure he is that useful. Probably best left in an old attic to gather dust.

When I read the thread title I thought "domestic hardware" was a euphemism for a sex toy.

Whatever appliance he was, I'm sure I'd end up returning him to Argos because he didn't work properly.
