What Is The Origin Of (274)?...fly-by-night. Witches, fleeing tenants and carriages

Fly-by-night

The description, fly-by-night, is rarely, if ever, used in a positive sense. It conveys the sense of someone who performs a shoddy job or service, takes the money and disappears. There is an element of untrustworthiness or unreliability about them, especially when the term is used in conjunction with business matters.

The original usage of the word was to denote someone who…

Three sheets to the wind

Now that the holiday season is well and truly behind us, some of us, no doubt, can recall that we over-indulged a little bit and may even, on occasion, have been three sheets to the wind. By this we mean very drunk but where did this phrase come from?

It doesn’t take a genius to surmise that it is nautical but what is fascinating is that the sheets referred to are not…

I had just finished up nine and a half hours of teaching skateboarding lessons when I got a text reminding me about the Making It Happen Premiere later that night. Ordinarily, an hour train ride from Lefferts-Gardens to Greenpoint at the end of the day is the last thing I want to do but I remembered meeting the film’s director a couple months back. Ricardo Napoli and I had both been artists featured in the adidas “the Showcase” events in 2016. We met during a video shoot and he showed the trailer to Alex Corporan and myself. It hit me like a blockbuster hollywood movie trailer where you instantly can’t wait for it to hit theaters. The quality of the filmmaker speaks for itself.

The list of skaters in the video is made up of known local rippers while some names will be unfamiliar to New Yorkers but well-known in Brazil. The rest of the skaters in the video come from Florida, Brazil, Japan, Canada, Dominican Republic, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Argentina, Uruguay and South Africa.

Carlo Carezzano leads things off with an impressive full part. Some remarked that the style of the video was like an evolution in the line of Josh Stewart. When the video made the switch to black and white, it was nearly seamless to the eyes.

Beyond just being aesthetically pleasing, the skating was easy on the eyes as well. The crowd seemed pretty happy, especially after the free beer supplied by Tecate. The Woods is quickly becoming THE spot for skate related events in Williamsburg after the closing of Black Bear Bar last year. With Dillon Collins at the helm the venue has seen art shows and video premieres with the promise of more to come in the very near future. Thanks to Labor Skateshop, The Woods, & Tecate for sponsoring the night. I may have been out later than I’d like to admit, it was definitely worth it. Congrats Ricardo, the full video left me excited to go skate. That’s my favorite kind of skate video.

  Monday night was worth staying out. I had just finished up nine and a half hours of teaching skateboarding lessons when I got a text reminding me about the Making It Happen Premiere later that night.

What Is The Origin Of (109)?…

A man of straw It is a long time, if I ever truly was, since I could have been described as a man of straw, a phrase we use to describe someone without any assets. It is often used in a judicial context when damages are being awarded against someone only for their lawyer to point out that they are a man of straw without two farthings to rub together. In 1823 John Bee defined a man of straw in his…
