    Default Goonies R Good Enough...

    Hope the reference makes sense to most of you. We call them goon bags. You may know them as a silver pillow?
    Great for a hang over. Never failed to me yet.

    Is it a bag for wine ?
    In french, when you've got a headache the day after you drank, you can say you have a "gueule de bois" ("wooden head/mouth").

    Inexpensive wine is sold this way here Copeau. The bag is plastic with layers of metalised poly to help reduce oxidation. It is packed in a cardboard box.

    Love the carving, concept, execution etc, etc, etc.

    Chateaux Cardboard....leaves me furry mouthed rather than wooden.

    I just needed to carve something non-anatomical for a bit. Felt like a holiday.

    Best of all once they're empty you can use them as a pillow for a bit of a snooze
