Yes, that's right. My son, Hannibal, is three years old today. Woo!

We've had cake and ice cream and sang a bunch of songs and now he's passed out asleep on the couch.

Ahhh ... good times.

Happy Birthday Hannibal.

Would that be; Hannibal the Cannibal, Hannibal - The Conqueror of Rome, or Hannibal-Because-I-Felt-Like-Calling-Him-That?

Happy B-Day Hannibal!

I named him after the Carthaginian. :)

Happy birthday to you Hannibal. Hope youv'e had a good day

Well he has been expressing a lot of hatred toward the Romans lately ...

Congrats

What did you buy for him as a birthday gift?

Glad to hear it, it's not a party unless the birthday boy passes out :D

Happy Birthday Hannibal.

Would that be; Hannibal the Cannibal....<snip>?He's a little young to be drinking Chiantis, isn't he?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNIBAL! :D :cool:

Happy Birthday to your son!!

Ahhh...to be three again.

Happy Birthday Hannibal.

What a strange name! It always makes me think of a dog I didn't own. ;) no offense intended

You need to cut his hair. Do you want to turn him gay? That's what happens to little boys with long hair.

I can tell by the spots on his shirt that he is already taking after his father.

Happy Birthday Hannibal

Happshy Birthday.

Hey ... rib me, but leave my son out of it.

Incidently, tradition dictates he doesn't get his first haircut until after he turns three. I had long, very long hair, until three. I have very long hair now. I ain't gay. My brother, with short hair, is gay.

So there.

I didn't buy him anything. I gave him life. :p

We waited till each of my sons were a year old. They were both born with a full head of hair so it was long at a year. Then my son, grandpa and I all go went to grandpa's Italian barber and all get a hair cut together. Thats was our tradition. I hope my kids do it when they have kids too.

Have you made him swear in a ceremony to never be a friend to Rome? It's the gift that every three year old dreams of. Not that making him swear it will be necessary, anyway, by the looks of things.

Congrats to the birthday boy!

YAY! He's almost old enough to corrupt. In another year or so, I'll volunteer to babysit. :D

This really is ironic, considering I was planning on naming my first born son Scipio.

But would you name him Publius Cornelius Scipio, or just Scipio... Ordination? Since Ordination is obviously your real last name as well.

I was considering Maximus for my first son, but my wife vetoed the idea. We named him after me instead.

Happy Birthday, young Hannibal! :)

Happy Birthday Hannibal!!!! :)

I got you 38 000 North African soldiers so you could conquer Rome!!! ;)

(man, I need to name my kid Hannibal... ;) )

My last name is Shmipio.

My cousin was intent on naming his kid Sampson, it was a girl, however.

Maybe that was good. I figured most people would call my son "Maxx". I guess they would call Sampson "Sam".

Yeah, I thought Sampson was a pretty bad choice, but at least he could go by Sam to acquiantances.

My parents were going to name be Juana.. I'm so glad they didn't.

We had contemplated many names based on historical figures we admired. It came down to a coin toss between naming him Saladin or Hannibal. Hannibal won.

Both are great names.



[attempt at mind control] Make sure the next one is named Saladin [/attempt at mind control]

Even if it's a girl? Original name for a girl, to be sure...

But like I said some other time, Keru', both are top choices for a name.

yay Hannibal!!! :fluffle:

Happy Birthday Sweet Pie!

which reminds me.......

Victor will be a year old on June 6th! :eek:

Happy birthday!

(By the by, Hannibal never conquered Rome; perhaps the Italian peninsula, but never the eternal city itself!)

This is not the thread for friends of Rome. :D

Besides, that was the first Hannibal. We all know that this one is going to do just that.

:D No more for us, thanks. We're full.

I'll make hints in the future for grandkids, though. ;)

I think I see the glimmer of world conquest in his eye...


or maybe he just had a bit too much ice cream.

Oh well, Happy birthday Hannibal (awesome name)


Had I been a girl, I would have been Gloria. Now, I have no problem with that name itself, however, my parents reasoning was that I was concieved during a power failure due to Hurricane Gloria. I blame that for my love of senseless destruction
