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

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 😬😬😬
I always thought Dionysos was the Greek god of wine/pleasure - Bacchus' counterpart. I didn't know the other etymology! Very cool!

Edit: oops, I see others mentioned this and you have set the record straight! I should read the whole thread before I comment. I took three years of Latin in college and got a little excited.

Ok you're all going to have to be able to look WAY outside the box to follow this. 😜
I wanted to find alternative to the Brand Name Zepbound PEPtide that I could no longer afford.
I grew up in and currently live in OHIO.
So.............being the ORIGINAL outside the box thinker I am I smashed them together in PepOhio.
I lived in Cleveland for 20 years.
 
My husband and I went on a hike that was supposed to be 3 miles, but we missed some trail markers and it ended up more like 7. The last mile or so was at a steep incline and I literally thought I was going to die lol. At the top of the hill was a trail marker/sign with info on where we should actually have been going, and on the sign was the tiniest snail I've ever seen - it was the size of my pinky nail and so cute, just crawling along. I like bugs and critters in general, and I had to register for something a few days later, and that little guy stuck with me, thus MiniatureSnail was born.
 
Are you from Gainesville?! I haven't heard that name in FOREVER
Nope, just a long time fan. From CT and have lived in GA about 25 years. I actually got proposed to at a HWM show back in 08 (Reunion Mini Tour @ HOB Orlando). The marriage didn't stick but my love for the band (and Chuck!) remains strong. 😆
 
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.
Degenerate wannabe? You mean the fun version!
