Welcome Lardey Boys

Gentlemen,

Welcome to the contest.

Here are the guidelines:

1. Contest begins Monday, March 9th, and concludes July 3rd, roughly 17 weeks long. 4 months of culinary deprivation, should be a hoot.
2. Each contestant will submit 2 full length mug shot photos at the time of weigh-in on March 9th. Contestant must be wearing shorts only, nothing in the pockets. Let's see those guts.
3. Each contestant will also submit a photo of the scale, as he is standing on it. We need to make sure we see those plump little sausages that you call toes in the photo.
4. Contestant must use the same scale for weighing in throughout the entire contest. No exceptions to this rule. It could come down to a small percentage point between contestants, so we need to be as accurate as possible.
5. The buy-in is $200, and must be submitted by the end of the first day of the contest.
6. The contestant that reduces the greatest percentage of his total body weight by the end of the contest (july 3rd) will receive the entire cash prize. Money is awesome.
7. In the unlikely event of a tie at final weigh in, the finalists will be required to smack each other across the faces with a cold fish until one of them falls over. This is the only fair way. Let's hope there isn't a tie.

GOOD LUCK!!!
