The Aloha Project

Heard it through the grapevine

Most of what you think you know about Dionysus is hearsay and myth. Really, to those who were close, he was more of a wine snob than a drunken lush or a spoiled frat boy—more interested in subtle smokiness than smoking-hot babes. Though once, at his weekly gathering of backgammon enthusiasts, they finished early, and so switched to Scrabble. In a decisive play that would determine his fate and future reputation, he spelled "orgy" on a triple word score earning a mere 21 points. He lost the game, and ended up flipping the table—he was the sorest of losers.
