Origins of The Wally Walk

I've been scanning through the forums trying to find the origin of the famous (or infamous) "Wally Walk". Does anyone know how this came about? I think it is a great idea, as it gives all CHLers a brotherhood and potential CHLers, such as myself, a way to be initiated into the fold. Maybe a fraternity isn't far behind, Phi Omega Wally.... or POW for short? Any more ideas?

Who was the FIRST Texas CHLer to get his/her plastic and walk through Wal-Mart a packin'.

Someone needs to get that question added to the CHL exam. :lol:

It probably happened some time during in 1996 but nobody tweeted about it so we don't know.

I hear in places like Boston, San Francisco, and Austin you do a "Whole Foods Hop".
It's pretty much the same as a Wally Walk only you bring your own reusable hemp shopping bags, you replace steaks, ribs, and ground beef with soy, tempeh, and vegi-burgers. And lastly, you don't carry a loaded magazine, cause that kinda stuff is scary.

I think POW sounds a little to much like "prisoner of war" maybe Gamma Upsilon Nu, or Gamma Upsilon Nu Sigma!
