Lincoln Logs or Otherwise

There was that song a while ago about walking 500 miles or so. One of the lines was something about "havering." Co-worker Dribbles idly wondered what "haver" meant. I, being a responsible co-worker with internet, instantly looked it up and found two definitions on Urban Dictionary:

1. to talk nonsense
2. to paint a log pink, while naked, and drinking Canada Dry ginger ale with no ice

I instantly resolved that number two shall be the correct answer from here on out. I also instantly resolved that I will someday be able to be as funny as the person who came up with definition number two. Apparently, part of my one joke is to have very specific definitions. I wept with laughter over this haver idea for a good long while.

It reminded me of a short article I read by Bill Bryson, about how peeing on Lincoln Logs (the real ones, not plastic) bleaches them white. I've longed to try this for a good long while as well. But this would not be havering. I wondering if painting a real Lincoln Log pink would count as havering...assuming I followed all the other directions. The definition would then read: painting a log (Lincoln or otherwise) pink, while naked, and drinking Canada Dry ginger ale with no ice. There needs to be a word that describes the act of bleaching a Lincoln Log white with urine...
