I was surfing on MiceChat and this came up. I found it really funny.
This one person was in class and they were talking about cults so why she was talking notes, she started thinking about her Disneyland obession.
Notes:
Cult
one ALL-powerful charismatic leader (Walt Disney)
some religous core (Pilmrimage to Holy Land:Disneyland, C.O.W, The Shed)
isolation from main stream society (Non-Disney People)
commitment of assests (Annual Passes, MiceChat)
It was hilarious! I guess Disneylandism is a cult and I'm part of it!
Anyway, C.O.W is this little group on MiceChat who meet up on every Sunday in Disneyland. At first it was just called "Weekly MiceChat Meeting in Disneyland" and they would meet in front of the Partners Statue of Walt and Mickey. They started joking around saying it was Church because it was on Sunday and they would talk about Disney (trivia, problems, and news) before heading off to have fun. They came up with C.O.W., Church of Walt because they would meet up in front of the statue of him! It soon became "C.O.W. Meeting". The Shed is a large joke when some newbie went to Big Thunder Mountain Ranch in Disneyland and saw a isolated shed. Thinking it was big news, he posted 12 pictures of the same angle! The shed had been there since Thanksgiving (not the last, but before) to house the President Pardoned Turkeys who stared in the Christmas Fantasy Parade around Thanksgiving. The turkeys had died and that's why the shed was abandon until next year. Somehow, it became a hit topic and lots of jokes come up. One member said "Snaps! You've found my secret religious shrine: The Shed!" Since then, that joke was a hit and people joked saying it was the C.O.W.'s churchhouse.
Anyway, here are some replies about the "cult" thing:
"C.o.w."
^ "Yeah, that. They meet on Sundays, don't they?"
"Haha, well, if they can make up a name for the depression we go through if we have a lack of Disneyland, then I think labeling us a cult is fair game."
^"You mean PDSS? Post Disneyland Sadness Syndrome?"
"Yes. Disneylandism is a cult. A very, very benign cult. In fact, it's the happiest cult on earth!"
"Isn't Mickey Mouse the leader of the club that was made for you and me? If so, then, come along. Sing a song. And, join the jamboree. Be sure to wear your mouse-ears when you do, and let us never forget to hold our banner high... high... high... HIGH!"
"Call it whatever you want, I am happy to be a part of it!"
And so on and so on...Just thought you might get a laugh out of it.
