How did come up with your name?

I first became aware of the Dionysian from reading Nietzsche's "The Birth of Tragedy [out of the spirit of music]". Despite it's youthful and joyously familiar trap of duality/dichotomy (The Dionysian is yin to Apollo's yang) the book held some interest.

Then, upon the realization that my birth name literally derives from Dionysus, AND the number of Dionysian traits and experiences I've encountered, both in Nietzsche's interpretation and my own, I had no choice but to sign my name after this force.

I only wish it could have been simply Dionysus, but it's all neutral.

IPHONE.. jealous, me? Eww.. I am not, sorry. Secondly you missed the point. Might be you are to young to understand or blind to see. Sad.. Maybe one day you will -hopefully with the help of SIRI- even I have my doubts that it is allowed to answer internal "no no's " :D
I like pigs too. Whether as ham, sausage, bacon, pork chops - they're the most versatile animal for sure.
Definitely. Good pet, good food. What animal could be better?
From your own link title, it sounds like dogs indeed can compete with pigs with respect to intelligence. Plus, the last time I asked a pig to help with math, she stole my Doritos and said "1 minus 1 equals 0".
Well, that link is 404ing now for whatever reason - but, taken directly from the article: "Pigs can often outsmart dogs and are on about the same intellectual level as our closest living relatives, chimpanzees, according to a new paper."
Besides, pigs might be good at math but I never said it'd be a good idea to ask one.
I based it on the Romaji writing of Jibril from No Game No Life. She played chess there, so I chose her name as my username here.
