Chip's Revenge.

So if you've had the misfortune of faithfully reading my blog for the last few years, you may remember me sharing the story of one Miss Vicky.

You see, for the better part of a year and a half, I'd receive the occasional phone call from some girl pretending to be a sassy thing from the wrong side of Jersey. I was baffled at who this person could be, but I did my part and played along. Hilarity ensued.

Then, just before I moved to Washington DC, one Anna Campbell revealed herself to be the voice behind the legend that was Vicky from Miami. Had I known the Karli/Anna/Emily trio as well then as I do now, Anna would have certainly been my first guess, but at the time it came as quite the surprise.

So a year or so later, when the opportunity for a little revenge arose, there was absolutely no way I could pass it up.

At this time Anna, Karli, and Emily were all going to the same single's ward as I was. So, enlisting the help of Anna's sister Amy, the two of us devised a plan to best Anna at her own game. We invented her worst nightmare.

Meet Chip.

We invented Chip for one purpose, and one purpose only. To fall deeply and hopelessly in love with Anna Campbell.

Chip was, obviously, also a member of the single's ward. Just a lad who took notice of Anna one special Sunday from afar and instantly knew she was the woman born to make all his hopes and dreams come true. Chip finally gathered the courage to approach Anna's home teacher to ask for her phone number so he could call her up and ask her out on a date.

Fashioning the most awkward voice I could muster, I called Anna and left her a rambling, uncomfortable voice mail in which "Chip" told her all about his feelings and hope for a connection between the two of them. We were about to have a Ward Christmas Party and Chip hoped more than anything for Anna to accompany him to said Christmas Party.

After spending quite some time stressing out, Anna gave Chip a call back and left the following voice mail:

A kinder soul might have let Anna in on the joke at this point, as she was likely losing sleep and she was visibly skittish at both the ward party and every Sunday at church. I'm not exaggerating when I say that she spent all three hours terrified and utterly convinced that Chip was about to burst around the corner and start professing his love.

However, I am not a kinder soul. I got Vicky for a year and a half. Chip had to stick around for longer than just a couple days.

After the Christmas party, Chip was rather offended. He called Anna again, letting her know that he had seen her at the party and didn't notice her with anyone else, as her voice mail had claimed. He said that as she was obviously not taken, he would very much like to take her out on a date and show her the time of her life. That the two of them together would be something for the ages, and a force to be reckoned with.

Anna called again, and left another classic voice mail.

Boy Anna, some unfortunate soul bears his soul and you just laugh in his face for it huh? Poor fella.

Well, in any case, at that point I'd felt guilty enough for the stress young Anna was having to endure, and we all let her in on the game. I don't think I'd ever seen more relief on another human being's face before.

Poor poor Anna. I hope all the real Chips up in Logan are taking her on horse back rides and to delicious seafood dinners.
