Frankly, I'm getting a little tired of all this talk about Novak.  Novak
this, Novak that... it's all just a little cliched at this point, y'know?

You people need to diversify a little bit, so let me offer myself up for
consideration as the new standard guy for losers to whine about.  I can be
arrogant; I can be a real prick; and hell, I've got a killfile with nearly
as many entries as Novak's sig has bites.  That's got to count for
something.

So why am I not seeing posts accusing people of being "Kozlowski clones",
posts whining about the "Kozlowski group mind", posts complaining that
everyone is "just sucking up to Kozlowski"?  Frankly, I'm a little
disappointed.

Now, I realize that those of you who come to rasfwrj in the metaphorical
short bus are probably going to have some difficulties with this proposal.
First of all, I doubt any of you could spell my name right without a
hefty dose of luck.  But hey, I'm here to encourage you:  don't worry
about it!  Misspelling my name will just lend an air of authenticity to
your whines.

Secondly, it might take too much creative energy for you to turn me into
the villain who rules your puny little world.  With Novak, there's so much
prior art out there that you can get by without ever having to have an
original thought of your own -- definitely a plus for people incapable of
original thought.  Alas, there's not nearly as much easy anti-Kozlowski
rhetoric out there for the grabbing, so let me seed the pool a bit to get
you started with some ideas:

1.  My name is obviously Polish -- why not try Polish jokes?
2.  Kozlowski starts with a K -- consider possible Nazi allusions, or
    perhaps a "Komrade" to imply a connection to Communism.
3.  I have certain weasel associations -- implying that I'm weaselly 
    could be just what you're looking for.
4.  I live in Wisconsin -- possibilities for cheesehead references abound.

So there you are:  four easy ideas to get you started in writing posts
vilifying me.  There are no more excuses for cheap and easy anti-Novak
posts any more.  Let's get this group going in a new direction.
