I don't go out that much, but when I do, I have a good time. So, take a moment, prepare yourself mentally and physically, and I will tell you a little about what is now known as:

That's right, Big Willie Style. Why just go out in jeans and a T-shirt when you can do it with swagger and savvy. So, what is all involved with BWS? Well, I'm glad that rhetorical question was asked, here's the list:

• Clothes - Clothes definitely make the man and for BWS, they are very important!

The ultimate expression of BWS style is follows; pinstripe gray suit, navy shirt, white tie, blue handkerchief, black shoes, navy rain coat. The Nittany Lion lapel pin (nicknamed the "Spanky" pin, having come from Graham Spainer's office) is a must!

When things are a little more "casual" a camel's hair jacket, with dark shirt can be substituted, as seen here:

Also, a new spin on BWS was created this summer, and its based on the wardrobe of the POTUS, and is called "Slick Willie Style. "A sharkskin suit, bright blue shirt (also known as "intern blue" since all the young interns wear them in D.C.), silver tie, black shoes completes this look. It is not as hot as the BWS suit, which is wool. Say what you will about Mr. Clinton's (insert here), but, the man is dressing pretty well these days.

Reports of the appearance of a "wife beater" that says "MEDIA STUDIES" are wholly unsubstantiated.

• Strutin' music

The official song of Big Willie Style is NOT "by Will Smith. It's actually an older song called "Pick Up the Pieces" by Average White Band. Nothing personifies what BWS is better than Scottish funk.

• Where it happens?

Big Willie Style can happen anywhere, in theory. Thus far, it's been put in practice in two commonwealths (Virginia and Pennsylvania), on federal District (Washington D.C), and Maryland and Colorado too. Let be known that the states of New Jersey and New York are also marked territory. Some notable places that have seen Big Willie Style are:

• How did it start?

The origin of BWS dates to November '98 after a night of bar hopping in State College. It just became apparent that only way to was the BWS style way.

Prehistoric BWS - March 17, 1998, first night out in State College at the Phyrst. Also, the immediate prehistory to BWS was an infamous trip to the Gingerbread Man in November 1998.

• Special Feature - How to make a good gin and tonic

For best results, you will need:

• gin - I prefer Gordon's, although Beefeater, Booth's, or Bombay Sapphire work well too. Tanqurey is overpriced and not very good.
• tonic - here is the most important part, you need cold, unopened, tonic water in a glass bottle, I prefer Schweps, but Canada Dry works too.
• lime - freshly cut (lemon for you southerners)
