Udder nonsense
Norma Lyon, known to Iowans as The Butter Cow Lady, is famous for her life-like butter sculptures.
This year's entry for the Iowa State Fair- Tiger Woods.
A major fan of Tiger's, she plans to model him beside a real Tiger, according to the AP:
"I've watched when he hasn't played, but it's not near as fun," she said.
This may sound politically incorrect, but didn't she read "Little Black Sambo?" All the tigers turn into butter.
UPDATE: I felt a little uncomfortable making the "Little Black Sambo" association, so I did a little Googling. Here's an interesting wiki about the history of the word and the book. Interesting that it was set in India and that the butter is actually ghee, which is clarified butter that is then browned.
