[alt text: A wikipedia article titled “Goon of Fortune” says: Goon of Fortune, sometimes called Wheel of Goon, is an Australian drinking game involving cheap cask wine (colloquially known has “goon”), played between any number of people. The name is a proof on the TV show Wheel of Fortune. The bag from a box of wine is known as a “goon bag” or “goonsack”]
In america we had a game called “slap the bag” except it wasn’t much of a game. You take the bag out, slap it as hard as you can and chug the wine. That’s for pre gaming before the bars.
The one time I played goon of fortune I woke up in a Bush in the dunedin botanical gardens using the goonbag as a pillow. I had a ripped up shirt and jeans and it was very cold and a security man was shining a touch in my face. He drove me home, very nice guy.
I knew I was getting old when I bought a box of goon and didn’t immediately rip the the bag out of the box.
Is that where the term goon cave comes from? Is it like a wine cellar for cheap wine?
As long as there’s no follow up questions and you promise to do no further research, sure, that’s exactly why.
They made a suit so you can drink at work.
Is it called a goon suit?
You bet your sweet ass it is.
Take a sip from the goonsack
