The World of W.B Yeats

As any traveller who has thumbed through a Frommers guidebook or surfed a Lonely Planet website should surely be aware, after sailing to Byzantium, unanimously approved practice dictates that tourists should then proceed towards Bethlehem by slouching.
Most other sailable anchorages of note have either ceased to exist or have been re-named, re-built and re-everything-elsed many, many years ago.
Slouchable destinations, on the hand, are still numerous and can be very famous or totally obscure. Here, for the curious, is a short list of slouchable hot-spots: Baffin Bay; Ashby de la Zouch; Goa; Saint Augustine, FLA; Beitostoelen; Hothersal Turning; Lodz; Dodge City; Lashkar Gah; Sarajevo (obviously); Eisenstadt; Tinfouchy; Fremantle; Kyle of Lochalsh; Paphos; The Burren; and Winnipeg.

(Pleased be advised that even if one reaches the slouchable zone aboard ship, one should still droop one's shoulders on deck. And that includes you, Mortimer Shy)

I believe Joan Didion may also be slouched to, though one could argue that this is a point of view rather than an actual destination.

Slouching is a very popular way of traveling, indeed there should be guides devoted to proper technique & ettique, for when done badly, its not good for your back or anyone around you..

also popular is the "mosey", but that is more often used for shorter jaunts, sometimes without specific destinations, especially the "mosey along" travel traces.

I've never slouched TO the Burren. You can bet your boots I've slouched OUT of the Burren. And some members of the wait staff slouch throughout their entire shifts. Christ, they're slow.

Oh, drat. The double post. Sorry. Hate that. Shit.

Haha. Looks like you've been slouching through your commenting, eh, Andraste!
I should add for the benefit of non Bostonians that The Burren, besides being an area of Ireland, is also one of those "Irish" theme bars that crop up all over these United States.
