We dont' really want to encourage just any old T-shirt opportunist, but -- totally without endorsement -- we have to share this limited offer. And on an unrelated, but equally exploitive note, our inside informants report that coming soon to a bar in Allston -- it's Obama Beer. Not the Kenyan brand; that's old news; but a domestic brew straight out of Brooklyn. No hype for this alleged (and likely unlicensed) product has been posted that we can find, so our informants are either way ahead of the zeitgeist or they're lying . . . or confused. Tell us what you know. (Just about this, please.)

The man pictured above is Rufus Terrill, who owns a bar called "O'Terrill's" in Atlanta. That thing is a robot he built to fend off the various vagrants, thugs, drug dealers, and other such miscreants who terrorize his bar. No, seriously.He mounted an old meat smoker
atop a three-wheel scooter and attached a spotlight, an infrared
camera, water cannon and a loudspeaker. He covered the contraption with
impact-resistant rubber and painted the whole thing jet black.
...
He flashes the robot's
spotlight and grabs a walkie-talkie, which he uses to boom his
disembodied voice over the robot's sound system.
"I tell them they are trespassing, it's private property, and they
have to leave," he said. "They throw bottles and cans at it. That's
when I shoot the water cannon. They just scatter like roaches." This all sounds really amazing, but what happens when the criminals just become more persistent and he has to build a bigger robot. And then the crooks outsmart that robot, so he has to build one with artificial intelligence? What happens then?

Maybe not, but it could be a good distraction at least. From the inbox:

Half of Street Style had heaps of fun at Thunderdome IX with DJ Assault ("The Street Narrator") last Friday at the Greek American Political Club. Although we can't claim to be as handy with our Cannon point-and-shoot as the sartorial X-tine Atturio, we did our best to document our evening out and about in Central Square. Sorry, nobody stopped for an interview--they were all too busy shaking it really hard to "Ass and Titties" the remix--but rest assured. Here's what we didn't capture: tights, not leggings, worn without skirts. Red skinny jeans. Wool hats and headgear, despite the sticky sweat and heat. And, of course, a great deal of plaid. What follows is what we did manage to document, in particular, many, many cool haircuts that magically withstood the venue's escalating humidity. While we look into improving our photography non-skills, please tell us how you like to get dressed for holiday parties. We really want to know. All photos © Sharon S.  Santa mixed our drinks. Please note the Harry Potter glasses and mustache.
 From L to R: We really enjoyed this belt, which kind of looks like it could be made of golden bullets. The metallic purple tights and pink boots and gray dress combo made us want to be this girl's friend.
 Center: So! There were a lot of ladies with cute dresses at Thunderdome, but you
can never go wrong with black and gray and more black. Also, we just
really like how her hair is flying around. This was when the evening
was still sort of in high school dance mode.
 Required hipster dance footwear, duh! From L to R: Pumas, Chucks, and checkered Vans. Don't they look clean?
 Um, not for long. Our boots will never be the same again!
 If we were handier with the camera, you would be able to tell that the girl toward the right, in the black shirt, had a haircut exactly like British Fashion Awards' Model of the Year, Agyness Dean! And she had amazing red lipstick on.
 An awesome yellow purse. Quirky. We like.
 Smile! We just really like this picture.
