For Fun - Care to share how you chose your user name?

[MakeItaDouble]

I'll start!

A couple of years ago, my friends gave me (us?) a subscription to a cocktail-making club, Shaker & Spoon. Each kit has 3 recipes from award-winning bartenders with all the syrups, bitters, mixers, and some garnishes to make 4 drinks of each of the 3 recipes around one type of liquor (liquor not included). We've had a blast getting together and crafting cocktails and making good food to complement them. As I have a tendency to go... ahem... all in, I have become somewhat of an amateur mixologist.

I am pleased that my level of tirz has not diminished my ability to enjoy a cocktail now and then, though I have seriously cut down on consumption due to the calories. I guess Make It a Double sounds like a could have a problem, I was just looking for a fun name involving cocktails.

i ate too many raw oysters and got a kidney stone. I had joined redditt to discuss kidney stones and decided on that as a user name and just kept using it.

[Tinygrashopa]

I was playing a video game about 25 years ago that had the Kung Fu theme. I’m a tiny grasshopper that has lots to learn since then and to this day… just like this forum that has opened up my world. Thank you all for your graciousness and welcoming spirit to us newbies.

 

[dionysos]

Dionysos is the Greek god who is the origin of my name: Dennis.

Far from being a menace, dionysos translates to “god in man” which seems kinda appropriate for me, don’t you think 😬😬😬

Well damn...a quick Google presented some illuminating info: (editted for my attempt at humor)

In ancient Greek religion and myth, Dionysos is the god of wine-making, festivity, insanity, and ritual madness.

He was also known as Bacchus by the Greeks. Wait...what??? Are you and @Bacchus brothers from another mother? 🤣

As Dionysos Eleutherius ("the liberator"), his wine, music, and ecstatic dance free his followers from self-conscious fear and care. His sceptre is both a beneficent wand and a weapon used to destroy those who oppose his cult. Those who partake of his mysteries are believed to become possessed and empowered by the god himself.

Appropriate indeed. 😊😘

Mine started a little to personal so I changed it to a book by Louis l'amour. It was about a frontier family in the late 1800. Wonderful read.

 

[Dustycotton]

Growing up our family had an all-white odd eye (one blue, one gold) cat. The cat chose me as her person and only would let me pick her up, so she was my cat. From the time we got her as a kitten, the first thing she would do when outside is roll around in dirt.

Due to her fur color and the dirt she looked like dusty cotton. So that's what we named her. I had that cat from when I was 5 years old until age 21. Very aloof, even with me, her supposed favorite. I still really miss her though.

For many years I would rent a cottage with friends in Wellfleet in September. I would come home with 100 raw oysters carefully wrapped in newspaper in a cooler from Hatch's. They would keep for months and several friends would happily help consume them. Always pick Wellfleet oysters if I have a choice.

Man - I feel this one could've been a great one 😂

My beautiful black cat (RIP) Reggie was royalty to us.
Also if you're into wrestling - he's the reason there was a Reggie's Corner on Jim Cornette's podcast.

Surprised you don’t like Ann Arbor being that close to UM. “Hail to the Victors!”

I grew up on the other side of the lake in PA. Miss the winters, fishing, and the smell of the water.

I had to Google it but but 1939--1947 definitely have a little milage on that cartoon.

I took in a 8 week old stray kitten with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (sp?) aka Wobbly Cat Syndrome. I call her “ SassyPants “ She demands walks and a bath from our 14 year old dog, Cash. Daily.

Close... and well intended I'm sure @MakeItaDouble.

Dionysos embodies the spirit of Irrepressible Life within us all. The Green Man, the Spirit of the Wood worshipped by the Druids, these were manifestations of Dionysos - God In Man you see.

@Bacchus is the degenerate Roman wannabe version of the spiritually superior Greek original.

Pretty much everything negative attributed to Dionysos was actually originated by the low-brow Romans... err... Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Notorious orgies, bacchanalia were banned throughout Italy in 186 BC according to Livy.
