JAYNE KULIKAUSKAS "CHUMP OF THE SUMMER" PIN

"Once a year, the voting population will have the opportunity to
elect an award-recipient for this presigious honour via a write-in
campaign on the August ballot. Named after "one of Usenet's most
gullible people of all time" (in her own words) - Jayne Kulikauskas,
devoted housewife and soc.man sympathiser extrordinaire, who was
exposed as a fool of epic proportions for two consecutive summers.

(Definition of "CHUMP" - n. A stupid or foolish person; a dolt.)"
