what about the man from u.n.c.l.e the man in the moon spiderman, batman, superman the weather man the inside man the third man the invisible man the best man the elephant man and of course- the man for all seasons???
What's in the bag, goose? Does anyone remember those commercials?
It was a cowboy...rugged, naturally, and he rides up on his horse, and asks a Pancho Villa kinda guy (who's eating potato chips) what his last name is...and I guess the guy must answer "goose," cuz the next thing the big tall cowboy asks, is, "What's in the bag, Goose?"
While planning and thinking for this essay, I recalled a television commercial from the early 1960s when I lived in Cali fornia. It was a commercial for Mother goose Potato Chips and was quite funny- although, today, it may be deemed politically incorrect. It showed a very mas culine and handsome cowboy riding over the western hills. He comes around a cor ner and is accosted by two Mexican bandi dos, replete with bullet-belts across their chests and tall sombreros and drawn pis tols. They stop the handsome cowboy and ask his name. He replies: "Mothergoose."
The two bandidos, understandably, laugh hysterically, then focus upon the cowboy's saddle-bags. One bandido asks the tall cowboy, "What's in the bag, Goose?" The cowboy opens up his sad dlebag, takes out a bag of Mothergoose Potato Chips, tosses it to the bandidos and says, "Mothergoose Potato Chips, if you're man enough to eat them!" There upon, the cowboy rides off, leaving the bandidos, as it were, "holding the bag."
The other thing I remembered was that after the banditos sample the chips Carey has offered, the first remarks, "mmmmm, eeenteresting." The second one, "mmmmmm provocative."

It was Granny Goose potato chips, and the guy was Phil Carey who just died a few days ago.
