Sven,
Sorry, nothing in or on the menu from Christian's Hut mentioning "The Goof".

But man do they come close to it! Or did he not exist yet? The Goof rendering on the cooler in this thread:

....could have been added later. Aaaaah, will we ever know...

But I have never seen the Genesis of Christian's Hut spelled out word for word like that!:

"To emulate Clark Gable's brawn....with Charles Laughton's Bounty standing by....that, you say, would be movie set....they've moved Tahiti to Balboa..."

and also the way it evokes the Polynesian pop mentality of the armchair explorer:

"....so dream your dreams of the Great South Seas, and "go native" anytime you please...
...where maidens dusky - who can tell - might hove in sight au naturel..."

A stellar example of menu Poly pop poetry!
