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’m telling my age, but from a childhood cartoon.

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

It aired in the late 70’s and early 80’s as well. Lol. I’m not that old yet.

 

[dionysos]

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 .

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.

Mines a song by Hot Water Music

Are you from Gainesville?! I haven't heard that name in FOREVER

 

[MiniatureSnail]

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.

 

[katwalking69 1730]

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.
