Yo-Yo Master and Decent Guy

Thursday Ramblings

What’s a more decent show to watch as a little kid than Sesame Street? This is the 40th year for the popular children’s program and several Web sites and media outlets (including Decent Community) have been dedicating time to take a look back at Burt & Ernie, Big Bird and the man himself, Snuffaluffagus. Check out [...]

Thursday Ramblings

Ladies and gentlemen, Thursday Ramblings would like to introduce you to a truly Decent short film called “Logorama.” It is nominated for a Best Animated Short Film Academy Award (the ceremony is March 7). It’s basically imagining Los Angeles as a city made of entirely corporate logos with some pretty funny dialogue. The video, which can be found here [...]

Super Bowl Mania

Ah, the big game has finally arrived, and although out beloved New England Patriots aren’t in it this year, the Super Bowl promises to be an entertaining one. From the chicken wings and beers to funny commercials and the actual game, the Super Bowl is a holiday and one of the best days of the [...]

Winter Vacation Notice

Brrrrrrrrr, this recent spell of cold weather is really pissing me off. So much in fact that I have decided to make like a bird and head south for the winter. That’s why I’m leaving tomorrow morning for a few weeks down south. Screw you winter, I’m outta here. My plans include a week or [...]

I’d like to immediately nominate the above image for best photograph ever! British photographer Roger Hooper was just 20 meters away from this charging beast when he snapped this awesome photo that is sure to win countless awards. According to The Sun, Roger got the idea for an animal trainer to dangle a piece of meat [...]

You Decide: Funny or Corny

Not all late-night talk shows are as funny as the old Conan O’Brien. Lettermam, Jimmy Fallon and even the new, earlier Conan just don’t seem to bring it every night. Take in part last night’s episode of “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.”He opened the show with the following joke in his monologue. What do you [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 12

It’s Thanksgiving weekend and us football fans have a lot to be thankful for. Here’s a few of them: 1. The Pats have had no major injuries: Brady is still healthy, as is Moss and Welker. Jerod Mayo made it back sooner than expected after leaving the opening-night game against Buffalo. Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris [...]

Black Friday Sales At The Decent Community Store

Friday is the day for deals, sales and bargains across the country. You name it, it’s on sale for at least 20 percent off. It is dubbed “Black Friday” because retailers usually sell so much stuff they make a profit, or get in the black, on that day for the entire year. Not bad. Well [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 11

I’m just going to make one final point about last weekend’s debacle in Indy before we move on to bigger and better things with the Pats in 2009: If Charlie Weis was on the Pats sideline, they might have won. Here me out. First, full disclosure: I am a big Notre Dame fan and think Weis is [...]

Dear Decent Community: Help Me Find Cheryl

Decent Community is more than an interesting, humorous Web site for a break from the daily grind. We also strive to help our fellow brother and sisters in any way we can. That’s why we took a few minutes this morning to publish a letter from a reader in need of a little assistance: Dear [...]

F**K You, Buffalo, Twice Over

What’s the best way to celebrate your football team winning on Sunday? Flip off those losers, of course! That’s exactly what Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams did yesterday in his team’s victory over visiting Buffalo. Jim Wyatt, a columnist at the Nashville Tennessean, caught Adams in the act for a SECOND TIME. The video above [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 10

I just can’t get enough of Bill Belichick. And thanks to NFL.com, I was able to get my guru fix in for the week thanks to the five-minute video they posted of him mic’d up against the Dolphins last week. It’s not often that the guru is heard during a game. All I usually hear is those [...]

Decent Community Family Photo

Since the holidays are coming up, Tubesteak, Helmet Head and I figured we’d take a group photo we can put on our Christmas cards. Seeing as how things get really busy around the holidays, we figured we’d get a head start on our decency. After much deliberation, we decided against posing with red sweaters with pets [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 9

Patriots fans should be thankful Joe Kapp isn’t under center anymore. Who’s Joe Kapp? He’s only, statistically, the worst quarterback of all time. When the Patriots took the field for the 1970 season, they had high hopes for Kapp, who was named to a Pro Bowl after being selected in the 18th round of the 1959 [...]

How Badass is Dolph Lundgren?

Dolph Lundgren saved his wife’s life without lifting a finger. Our tale takes place in May and was first reported by The Daily Mail. Armed robbers busted into Lundgren’s Spanish villa. The three men tied up his wife, Anette Qviberg, and forced her to hand over cash and jewels. Who knows what would have happened next [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 8

Imagine how much your team would suck if you played against Peyton Manning every week? Enter Exhibit A: The Detroit Lions. While better than winless teams like St. Louis, Tennessee and Tampa, the Lions are playing like a winless team. They are allowing opposing quarterbacks to post an average rating of 118.7, the highest in [...]

Thursday Ramblings

The treasure security business got a big wake-up call 45 years ago today. On Oct. 29, 1964, several major gems valued at millions of dollars were stolen from the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Dubbed the “jewelry heist of the century,” the thieves were hardly the kind you see planning these major heists [...]

Decent Football Picks, Week 7

Last week, I wondered aloud about how terrible Oakland was. Richard Seymour and the Raiders then go out and beat Philadelphia. Guess Oaktown wasn’t as bad as I thought, but I do know this: The Raiders are better than the St. Louis Rams. How bad are the Rams? The Patriots scored more points in one [...]

Thursday Ramblings

With Halloween coming up, the rush is on to find a decent costume to wear. The rush is also on for watchdog groups to get irate at politically incorrect costumes, like the “illegal alien” costume, which is an orange prison jumpsuit with an alien mask and a fake green card. Those looking for a real [...]
