Lard Butt Beer-Tasting Squad? Softball? Mountain Biking? It's been a fun first month of existence for Lard Butt -- as the photo gallery can attest, Lard Butts and their gear are showing up in locales as varied as a Hawaiian beach, several NCAA basketball games (read further below for the WINNER of the first annual Lard Butt NCAA Challenge), baseball Spring Training, and taverns and restaurants across the land. Butt, we are not about to sit around, though that sure is tempting....instead, we are finalizing the next set of designs for Lard Butt gear-- So please take a moment and reply to this blog, sounding off on which from the below you'd most like to see in the next batch (in addition to the below, we've had requests for LB Team Muffin Top, Fishing, Pit Crew (racing) and a baseball cap):

MARCH MADNESS IS OVER: WE HAVE A LARD BUTT WINNER!
Well, North Carolina made it look easy on Monday night -- but sadly, none of the five Lard Butts who made it to the semi-finals of the first annual Lard Butt NCAA Basketball Challenge did. Of the five who correctly predicted two of the Final Four (everyone else in the contest had one or less), not a one managed to choose Carolina as the national champion! So, we hired a crack team of scientists to figure out that RMckinley won our contest, based on having at least picked UNC to advance to the title game and being extremely close on the final score's total points (he posted 160, as the total points came out as 161, by virtue of UNC's 89-72 win). Several of the original entries had UNC winning it all, but didn't have any of the Final Four correct, aside from UNC...while others had two of the Final Four, with UNC in the final, but weren't as close on the points as RMcKinley.
To the winner go the spoils, which today means a brand-new Lard Butt hoodie! Congrats to RMckinley (we will be in touch -- really) and thanks to all who played.
