Welcome to the COG Home
Page
(The Cult of XXXXGizzieXXXX)
Our Motto:
We are the mighty COGs, and we own exclusive bitching rights about everything under the sun. Period.
We have
Who We Are:
A collection of women from around the US and Canada who meet
on the internet to talk about life, love, kids, the X-Files, and the Great
Gizzie... resident humorist to the internet newsgroup alt.tv.x-files. For
more details about us as individuals and as a group take a look at our
collective résumé. We also invite
you to visit us in xxxxgizzielandxxxx.
In the summer of 1996, shortly after Hurricane Bertha struck Eastern
North Carolina, two members of the COG met... the first ever
(annual?) meeting of the COG (is that anything like the wearin' o' the
green?). Peg-n-Bex immortalized the event on film.
(well, ok, so Mike took the photo, but it was Bx's camera). We are in the
process of creating A COG Photo Album. It's a
little disorganized right now (kind of like my own photos) but you can
see what some of us look like there.
COG2, better known as the Lone Gunwomen
COG3, is also called the FBI's most unwanted.
COG4, the Women in Black or WiB
COGFIVE, The Consortium, has their page up now.
COG6, the Cerulean Sisters, aka COG6
COG7 is known as (at least our COG t-shirts say they are) NNY (No
Name Yet)
And COG8
have taken on the responsibility of being Well-Manicured Women
Why Do We Worship the Great Gizzie?
Because she makes us laugh til our stomachs hurt and tears
stream down our faces.
Here are some examples, chosen carefully (yeah right) from among many,
of her wit and charm as it benefits the readers of alt.tv.x-files.
Someone else's post ended with:
"Somebody better keep an eye on Glass Man while he's fixing that window.
I don't think he can be trusted....."
To which our Great Giz answered:
Or another, somewhat less dramatic response might be:
In response to one of our member's call to right a sexist wrong in the world of astronomy, the Great Giz provided this substitution for the traditionally accepted mnenonic devise:
These are the letters:
The current version is "Oh, Be A Fine Girl, Kiss Me".
Kiss *this*, pigs. [a little editorializing by our resident astronomy student]
Giz's contribution, which was accepted as the new mnemonic device this particular professor will use, is:

-----------------
1. Followers of The Great Giz will make printouts of all Gizzie's posts, and tape them to their wall (like Mulder did in Gargoyles).
2. Followers of The Great Giz will commence hoarding lunch meat. (If vegetarian, just hoard rye bread; it's OK.)
3. Followers of The Great Giz will acquire as many dogs as we can afford to feed. We will also think up silly names for them based on pop stars.
4. Followers of The Great Giz will take very few things seriously.
5. Followers of The Great Giz will wrack our brains to come up with new and interesting emoticons 8-)^^^^^^ and dedicate them to The Great Giz.
6. Followers of The Great Giz will read the newsgroup religiously (pun intended) every day.
7. Followers of The Great Giz will not go out in "bright light, bright light!"
8. Followers of The Great Giz will acquire a spouse (or use present one, if applicable) just to name him/her "Stripe".
Only YOU can decide if you are a Gizaholic. The 12-step program was set up to help Gizaholics.
1. We admit we are powerless around giz-wits - that our lives and houses have become unmanageable.
2. We believe that the Great Giz could restore us to sanity.
3. We decide to turn our lives over to the care of the Great Giz as we understand her.
4. We took a searching and fearless inventory of the changes that giz-wits made to our houses and our lives.
5. We admit to the Great Giz and ourselves the exact nature of our addiction.
6. We stand ready to have the Great Giz enlighten us about the nature of giz-wit enthrallment
7. We humbly ask the Great Giz to remove our shortcomings in totally fulfilling her desires.
8. We make a list of all of the Great Giz unfulfilled desires, and become willing to fulfill them all.
9. We make direct sacrifices to our Great Giz wherever possible.
10. We continue to take personal inventory and when we fail to respond to the Great Giz's whim, we promptly admit it.
11. We seek through reposting and adulation of every giz-wit to improve our conscious contact with the Great Giz as we understand her.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we try to repost this message to gizaholics and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Newcomers are not asked to accept or follow these Twelve Posts in their entirety if they feel unwilling or unable to do so.
