Nothing too important, but here are several time-killers.

“Swag Surfing” is the best song of 2009, hands down. No other song has inspired such an amazing dance, referenced Patty Mayonnaise, Otto from the Nickelodeon show Rocket Power, boogie boards, or uttered brilliant lines like “Purp got me geeked something like an Eddie Bauer” or “Chain shining hard, it just gave my neck a tan.” “Turn My Swag On” is getting retired. Otherwise, making songs with the word “Swag” in it should be illegal from hereon in.

Although it has been posted on here at least twice in the past, this little throwback part from the world’s greatest Latvian skateboarder is one of the best flashbacks to the era when you could skate Fedex for hours upon end on a weekday afternoon without a single person coming to hassle you. Music selection aside, of course. But we’re talking about a pre-Sunday night at Sway era here, and Victor rocked Smiths shirts with baggy pants, so everything was way realer five years ago. Even The Smiths (sort of, but not really). It does need a “Swag Surfing” re-edit though.

Billy Rohan turned a shipping container at 12th and A into a community friendly refreshment stand, which he intends to name “The Quarter Snacks Shack.” Unfortunately, with actual quarter snacks a distant memory of three years ago, it’s debatable as to whether or not the stand will actually sell Little Debbie goods and Lemon Heads below mark-up, but we’ll see how this pans out.

(Spot update: It’s open season on the frontside for regular side at Black Hubba.)

Quote of the Week:

In the many years I have known him, Danny Weiss has lived in a wide array of personas. He has gone from an innocent, Seaport-skating, Aesthetics fan, to young little ripper who tore up the TF on a daily basis, to a preppy type, to a L.A. fashion victim, to a alleged star of morally objectionable interracial sex tapes, to a gondolier, to a World War II fighter pilot, to up until recently, when he (I assume) saw Marlon Brando’s seminal 1953 film, and decided it was time to enter a new identity. Unlike Brando, who embodied the persona of Mark Antony in William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar before he decided to throw on a leather jacket and become an icon of youthful rebellion for generations to come, Weiss is coming off the gondolier look, which is a rather difficult transition when you’re looking to ride a two-wheeled vehicle and terrorize the elderly. However, he has been known to come through when the going gets tough, as it inevitably will, and I am sure you will see him tearing through the streets of the Lower East Side, for months to come. Or until he decides to take up a new identity. We here at Quartersnacks, salute our hero, a true legend, Daniel Eric Weiss.
