Today We Remember Dick Butt, The Real Name Of A Real Man Who Died Last Week
It’s tough for me to break this news to you, but today we mourn the loss of Dick Butt. He was a man who survived 93 years of bullying, torment from children, snickering coworkers, weird looks at the airport, and the inability to Google himself.
Dick Butt was a good man. Dick Butt was a noble man. Dick Butt was a proud man. Some say he was a bit anal rententive, but Dick Butt was the kind of man you would want your daughter to bring home. Dick Butt was an unsung American hero.
Pour one out for Dick Butt tonight. We’ll miss you, buddy.

Fuck you HelmetStickers, I’m asstounded you posted this article; have you butt no respect? After growing up on a small far, he cracked his way into the real world and left behind a promising baseball career and collegiate experience to become the legendary founder of Dick Butt’s Massage Emporium. Sure he may have been a bit tight and anal, but men like this come maybe once every generation and to mock him posthumassly like this is just shitty.

10 years ago at 4:58 pmI like to consider it more along the lines of celebrating the life of a great man with some good o’l humor. I don’t think Dick would want it any other way.
