tusk, tusk Tony.

You shouldn't Hannibalize someone else's pun.

And which Hannibal are we speaking of here? The Cannibal or the Carthaginian?

As the puns are elephant related, I'd say the Carthaginian.

I knew that. :| That was the point. I was making a joke, as most people of my generation, when they hear the name 'Hannibal', would immediately think of Anthony Hopkins saying "I ate his liver with some fava beans, and a nice Chianti. S-S-S-S-S-S-S!" Or maybe a certain character from The A-Team.

He'd need an awful lot of Chianti to wash down 1000 elephants.

My daughter did a psycho routine at her comp with a hannibal mask... (Dammit I am still trying to get the photo off my phone and up here). It was so scarey. She was bound up in a straight jacket about to go on stage and said "Mum! Can you push my hair out of my eyes!" I was really really freaked about even going near her let alone touch her.... my brain was saying oh yeah that my baby... my other brain was saying RUUUUN!

There are so many things about that last post that are just too wierd to comment on....

 

[ChristianBecker]

++ to that. (What other brain are we talking about, here? One in a glathth jar?)

I think that "Hannibalize" pun was very clever indeed, since it alludes on the one hand to the Carthaginian and his Elephants and at the same time to Hannibal the Cannibal, both of which fitted the context.

Well, that's just the sort of elephantile thing I'd expect you to say.
