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.

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.
