Who's Big Bertha?

Carol got me a very nice gift card, one of several gifts from her for Christmas. (I'm spoiled) So, I had to go looking for what I was going to get with it. I didn't realize there were so many things that shared it's name. I don't even know a "Bertha" but I knew I think I needed one. Not like this huge hamburger. . . although, I've had a few similar.


I didn't know about this huge, villainous cartoon character . . . I knew about this WWI artillery gun . . . ( I liked History in school). . . just don't think the Government would allow me to own one. I would only fire into the bad zip codes, honest.

But, I didn't know about this boat-pulled, water-thinga-majiggy; fun, but we don't have a boat.

Nor, did I know about this huge drum either; the "world's biggest" (in TX of course). . . . but I do like the Longhorns.

But, I knew about this Big Bertha, what I went looking for. Actually, the Diablo. Sounds, bad... Gotta love it for the name alone! As for a Big Bertha, I found out you can shoot one, eat one, ride one, fight with one or hit golf balls with one.
I just hope it improves my golf game . . . it sure felt good hitting on the practice range before I bought it. Thanks, Mrs Santa Clause! No one tell Mark, let me surprise him with it on our first tee :-) I'm thinking of taking the cover from my old driver and putting it on this new one!

There's also some arcade game where you throw balls at "Big Bertha" and try to knock out her teeth. Bertha... what a horrible name. Have fun with the golf club!

Wow...out of fun I google'd "Big Bertha" and went to images and went to page 14 or so and found one as Fireworks. I'm sure you don't want that, so glad you got what you want. Make sure to take a picture of you and your new toy.

Don't call me Big Bertha and we'll get along just fine!
