Sunny Thunberg?

Decided to look it up. An albatross is the same as a double eagle. While it’s called a double eagle in U.S. golf, everywhere else it’s an albatross. That is, it’s a 3 under par for the hole. And there can’t be an albatross on a par 3 hole either. So, you hit a hole in one on a par 4 and that can also be an albatross.

An albatross sounds so majestic.

You can get an albatross on a par 3…. by just walking away,

The Ancient Mariner had problems with an albatross.

Love how Bernard is suddenly interested in Albatros life.

An albatross can live for up to 100 years. It is a pelagic sea bird, meaning it hardly ever comes on land, except for nesting.

“What flavor is it?”

I assume that’s still considered mansplaining.

At least it wasn’t around his neck.

It’s also a theatre snack! https://youtu.be/wrqW_BZu5Xk

Can’t keep up with that huge bunch, but I don’t remember Bernard. Now my unwanted commentary.I am a fan of this strip, but this is another case of “what are the characters thinking?” (see my remarks concerning the “family vacation” plan) Anyway, how could a woman choose to spend basically her entire adult life,from early youth to post middle age, being pregnant?( Remember, all those brothers came from somewhere.) I’ll never understand some people’s “Breeding Imperative”. Guys, there’s really enough of us running around messing up whats left of this rock we all float around on. We don’t need every couple to build their own baseball team or create a zip-code.

Somebody gotta care.

I’ve heard of a turkey in bowling. But never before heard of an albatross in golf.

An albatross has to make a running start before it can take off.

Sunny is becoming a person with greatness in her future.
