I'm thinking this and perennial client of the malt shop of destiny need to elope and make a list of their own. Drunken Travels?

Hmmmmz. Bibulous sailors and whatnot seem to have generated a few terms, e.g. With one’s jib well bowsed, under full steam, walking a Virgina fence, so there's some stuff there.

Bllargh! Yourright.
Drunktionary equates walking a Virginia fence with "Making Virginia fence - A Virginia fence is a zigzag fence. Hence, walking in a zigzag fashion. Noted by Benjamin Franklin."

Interesting... those crooked fences aren't just in Virginia (though I guess they could have been traditionally Virginian in Franklin's time), but they can still be seen at historic sites all over the place, particularly nineteenth-century ones... In Gettysburg, PA, when I was growing up the tour guides were still calling those fences "cow-high and pig-tight." Hee.

Yes,c_b. I first saw this type of fence in Gettysburg and have ever since associated them with battlegrounds. "Cow-high and pig-tight." *snort*

That's funny. I wonder if you were there around the same time I was. Hey! Maybe we've actually met, and just don't know it! ;)
