[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"]

Ok first of all, they left out the part where this game is usually played in the back yard on a rotary clothes line. Where everyone stands in a circle. The goon sack is attatched to the clothes line and "spun" and whoever it lands on has to take a giant mouthful.

Also theres the variation of several different types of goon on the clothesline. And you have to spin the wheel and take a giant mouthful from whichever one lands on you. If you dont like literally the cheapest lambrusco that the cheapest bottleshop in town sells. Too fucking bad!

Right, people would get confused without the clothesline.
