"Man Eating a Stick of Butter at SeaTac"

Sure, it's not healthy, (and revolting to think about eating) but probably better than most of the processed, polyunsaturated, high-fructose corn syrupy shit they sell at airports.

Perhaps he's practicing for the Iditarod. I hear they eat sticks of butter, and their counterparts in the Bikarod drink bottles of cooking oil. Bleh, but it *is* mighty cold during those races.

@8 - Because they are trying to shame people into not doing gross stuff in public - like eating a stick of butter in an airport terminal in front of everyone.
If you really want something published on slog, send a writer a youtube video you recorded of someone clipping their toenails on a metro bus for 5 minutes while listening to Creed on a boombox at max volume.

@7: Win.
@3: That was my thought as well. Though I'm not sure I'd start that kind of diet before I hit the North Pole. And I like me some butter.

@8, Slog is Facebook for the Stranger staff. Add a bar or restaurant recommendation so they can get free drinks and a meal, and that explains 90% of Slog.
And then there's Charles.

@12 - I remember that! Gold! Pure comedy gold!
@13 - How do you know that Charles isn't getting free coffee from the People's Republic of Koffee for his posts about Marxism?

@14, I had assumed Charles was trying to prove that people hated him for his color and 'provocative' ideas. I had ignored that the Chinese mission to Africa might be supporting his half-baked theories.

@13-15: You are thinking about it way too hard guys:

First of all, kudos on the Last Tango In Paris references.
Second, this brought to mind a girl in one of my undergrad music classes, who aspired to be an opera singer. I saw her walking into class one day with a stick of butter peeled back like a banana and a loaf of unsliced bread cradled like a football in the crook of her elbow. She proceeded to chomp in a ratio of five bites of butter to one nibble of bread.
I'm being generous when I say she had a bit of a weight problem. and that's all I have to say about that.

Makes a nice companion to this lady eating mayo out of the jar on a bus (not sure what city, probably LA):

All of us rock stars need to lube the vocal chords and/or get that bean burrito thats been deploying forces in our stomach for three weeks a bit of help into the loo?
pepto is too chalky and rolaids is bad as less acid in the stomach allows those Para Parasite La chupa cabra commando burritos to set up a dictatorship in your belly so a stick of butter is the less of many evils.

Butter is really not as bad for you as late 80's diet fad paranoia would have you believe. That being said, things like this should not be done.

When I was a kid, I use to eat the little pads of butter you get with rolls at classy dining establishments. I have no idea why. I outgrew it, but I guess this guy never did.

Reminded me of an episode of Northern Exposure, "Full Upright Position". Maggie and Joel are stuck on a plane and a Russian dude is eating lard. Would post a clip, but can't find one. -1 internets to me.
