Being Part Two In An Educational Series

Greetings and salutations!

For those who are unaware, I, the Honorable and Distinguished Supreme Chancellor of the Highest Most Dignified Order of the Terribly Mighty Goose, have taken it upon myself to publish a series aimed at educating You, the Ignorant Masses.

Think of this Benevolent Act of Edification as a gift, in honor of whichever Wintertime Holiday you choose to commemorate.

As a side note, The Order, being a nondenominational organization, favors no particular Wintertime Holiday, though we believe Festivus does deserve a second look.

In the previous installment, I presented a brief synopsis of the history of The Order, taken from renowned occult historian and accomplished Rock & Roll composer, Nanker Phelge's, gem "The Birth of a Gander."

However it occurs to me that many of you we're left completely at a loss as to whom this Mighty Goose even is.

The Mighty Goose is an elusive, enigmatic beast. To describe the True Nature of such a being is both difficult and dangerous. It is said that "few have cared to describe the Goose, and even fewer have dared to."

Possibly the most complete account of the physical appearance Mighty Goose comes from the Three-Father's themselves:

"And before us stood upon webbed feet a feathered beast the likes of which not I nor my companions have ever witnessed. 10 foot tall if but an inch, its three beaked heads sat atop long elegant necks, themselves attached to a body vaguely reminiscent of a [Wintertime Holiday] dinner. As it spread its glorious wings, he engulfed us it what seemed endless shadow, as if casting the very Sun itself from his heavenly throne. In a flurry of dust and down, it set itself aloft upon its mighty span, off to complete its migratory pilgrimage south, but not before it spoke unto us one word: 'Rosebud'" [The Mighty Goose in His Revelation to the Three-Fathers, Anderson Council Publishing, (C) 1909].

The events of this account are believed to have occurred shortly after the Three-Fathers signed their pact and effectively created The Order as we know it.

An earlier account, attributed to The Third Father, elaborates upon The Mission Of The Goose, if not The Goose himself:

"I lay upon the grass blinded, on the edge of unconsciousness, and I heard a voice. Deep and powerful, it surrounded me. The voice said to me, 'Warrior, heed my words! Henceforth, Be ye Man or Woman, Lord or Peasant, Priest or Layman, ye shall never be beyond my Fury. Henceforth, act with humility and compassion, lest some unfortunate mishap of limited severity befall ye.'

"Suddenly, my sight returned, and I rolled over in the hopes of discovering from whence this voice was uttered. Alas, I turned only in time to witness a blur of gray and orange make haste for the heavens. [...] Crestfallen and downtrodden, I bandaged my paper cut and made the journey home" [The Mighty Goose in His Revelation to the Three-Fathers, Anderson Council Publishing, (C) 1909].

It was as such that the Tri-Goose Demigod made is presence known to the Founders of our Order, but, as it was later discovered, it was not by any means the beginning of The Goose's Tale.

Once again, we of The Order of the Mighty Goose thank you for your time, and ask that you continue to return and learn of our organization.

Happy Wintertime Holiday.

Novus Ordo Anserous.
Long Live The Goose.
