Dimitri From Paris Is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

You’re in a lounge, all dressed up, scoping out chicks, fancy beverage in your hand — ya know, the usual. Everyone inside looks classy, but deep down they like to party. Maybe snort a few rails and dance like motherfuckers. Indeed, the pent up lounge is waiting to erupt, but there’s one thing missing: bad-ass [...]

Dennis Eckersley is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

If Decent Community were assembling a ball club, the first thing we’d do is look for the most chill player available. Then we’d probably scout their mustache, and then probably their hairstyle. Finally, we’d look into their actual abilities on the field. Based on the above criteria, the obvious man to build our team around [...]

The Pharaoh is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

 
ALERT: PRESS PLAY BEFORE READING THIS POST
Just as the ancient Egyptians needed monarchs to guide them and provide their civilization with fruitful bounties, so does The Community. Whether it’s teachings, deliverence, or even salvation – sustenance from a higher authority is integral to our soul. That’s why this week we’re saluting The Pharaoh by naming him our Decent Bastard [...]

Alan Francis is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

“I let the ringers do the talking.” So says Alan Francis, one of the greatest horseshoe pitchers the world has ever known. This mustachioed marksman has won a record-setting 15 Men’s World Horseshoe titles since 1989. During one tournament, Alan Francis threw a record 64 consecutive ringers! Talk about a Burlington Shower! [...]

Al McReynolds Is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

Amidst a Nor’easter on September 21, 1982, off the Vermont Avenue jetty in Atlantic City, NJ, Al McReynolds landed a 78 lb 8 oz. striped bass — the largest striper ever caught. For this feat alone, Mr. McReynolds has earned Decent Community’s highest honor — Decent Bastard of the Week.
The fish (53″ long, 34 – 1/2″ girth) reportedly [...]

Andy Bernard is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

With the return of The Office for the fall season, The Community felt it pertinent to honor one of our favorite characters, Andy “The Nard Dog” Bernard as our Decent Bastard of the Week. Played by the venerable Ed Helms, The Nard Dog is a walking hilarity. Always well-intentioned, a tad pompous, [...]

Interview with Chuck Woolery

NOTE: Over the past few weeks, Decent Community has put out feelers to interesting/cool/decent people for an ongoing interview series that we’ll feature on the website. Chuck Woolery agreed to be our first interview.
Best known for his legendary run on Love Connection, beloved game show host Chuck Woolery is now the spokesperson for LoveTactics.com, a best-selling [...]

Sam Malone is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

Sam “Mayday” Malone — the epitome of a decent bastard! He was a former Sox pitcher with a nasty slider who owned one of the most renowned bars in history. Being a recovering alcoholic, he still ran Cheers successfully amidst a slew of hard slugging, all-time characters. But more so than anything else, Malone was [...]

Beck is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

Consumate envelope pusher Beck Hansen has been named Decent Community’s Decent Bastard of the Week. Oozing with unique artistic stylings, Beck’s music is unpredictable, unclassifiable, and an altogether refreshing departure from the spoon fed cacaphony that’s typified in today’s popular music landscape.
He’s produced thoughtful album after thoughtful album — from Mellow Gold and Odelay, [...]

Fabio Is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

As the saying goes: ”Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of beauty are sought after, men of power are feared; but only Fabio is all of these things.” Make no mistake — Fabio is the most beautifully sculpted hunk of meat that civilization has ever known, and it’s with unabashed pride that we crown [...]

Jacques Cousteau Is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

It was the great Jacques-Yves Cousteau who said, “When one man, for whatever reason, has an opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself.” For “le Commandant Cousteau” sharing his remarkable studies of underwater life was a truly magnificent gift to bestow on our world — and for that, he’s [...]

Decent Bastard of the Week: BlaccuWeather Correspondent Ollie Williams

Ollie Williams is the decent black meteorologist for Quahog 5 News’ weather segment: The BlaccuWeather forecast! His decent reports are very loud, quick and to the point, such as ” I’M IN THE WRONG AIRPORT”;  ”EVERYBODY LOOKS LIKE ANTS”; ”IT’S RAINING SIDEWAYS”; and “HE’S GONNA GET IT!”
Decent Community made the trek to the [...]

Robert Johnson is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

Identified by many as the greatest bluesman who ever lived, Robert Johnson is this week’s Decent Bastard of the Week. Although this Mississippi Delta legend left us with limited recordings and a fragmented life story in which he was dead by 27, Johnson’s shadowy influence is seducing enough to have countless luminaries proclaim he laid the foundation [...]

Chevy Chase is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

This week, The Community would like to extend a long overdue honor to our boy Cornelius Crane Chase, better known as Chevy Chase — the clever funnyman hailed for his riotous and decent shtick. Any bastard who portrays Ty Webb, Clark Griswald and Fletch is held in ridiculously high esteem in our hall of chillness — and so, [...]

The Decency of Peeping Toms

An old Irish proverb states “Watching is part of good play.” And an ancient Decent Community saying asserts ”There’s nothing wrong with being a sly dog every once in awhile.” Condescending, contemptuous beliefs on the act of observing others who are in a spontaneous and unadjusted state are ill-founded. Undetected surveillance provides a postively authentic mechanism for personal understanding and informed judgement. To put [...]

The Crypt Keeper is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

Hello boils and ghouls, this week The Decent Community would like to honor our all-time favorite instigator/terrorist/storyteller, the daunting and hideous looking skeleton known as the Crypt Keeper! Holding court from his casket every week on HBO from 1989 to 1996, the Crypt Keeper shrieked and spooked in a trademark wise-cracking style that [...]

Blues and Lasers is Our Decent Jam of the Week

This week The Community would like to highlight a boner-inducing band from the crust-filled state of Vermont — the soon-to-be legendary Blues and Lasers. These bastards emit a massive sound, calling to mind a Zeppelinish, Black Keys-ish, Derek and the Dominoes-ish ragged and dirty blues/rock style you’d think was blasting from the speakers of a 1972 Plymouth [...]

Decent Community is Crowning the King of New England

The Decent Community would like to announce its competition to crown the King of New England. There are no prerequisites for entry — just that the dude has to be from New England, or be related to it some way. We’ll be accepting your nominations through email at DecentCommunity@gmail.com and in the comments section. We’d like to post [...]

The Community’s Rapper of Choice

Warn the town! The beast is loose! Today The Community thought we’d bring some attention to an up and coming rapper from Boston who goes by the name of Miggity Merls. Mainly known for his clever wordsmanship on the Eastern Mass party circuit, Miggity Merls is the epitome of keeping it real and [...]

Matt Cassel is Our Decent Bastard of the Week

In a week of celebration and appreciation, Matt Cassel has been named Decent Community’s Decent Bastard of the Week. Let’s look back to Week 1, with the injury of handsome Tom Brady. All New England faithful were skeptical at best about the Pat’s chances of success. Our team had a QB who hadn’t started a [...]
