Hint: I’m not REALLY Whitney Chambers

Posted by beth on April 7, 2009

If you’ve been reading Onward Hoe! since way before it was even called Onward Hoe!, you may recall that time when I was blogjacked by one Miss Whitney M. Chambers. And while I have to admit that her renaming of Ginger Spice to “No, You’re Spicy!” Spice is one of the most genius things ever written on this blog, I still seek vengeance. Oh, but wait…didn’t I blogjack her at the same time?

I DID!! Hahahahaha!! I’d forgotten all about this. So great.

Ok, no vengeance then. Just a story, and maybe a future t-shirt.

When we were down at Bald Head for me and Lauren’s b-days, we were out at dinner on Saturday night, and we got into a conversation about icing. I asked Whitney what kind of icing she preferred on her funfetti cake (which was cooling at the house at that very moment), and she said chocolate or white icing would be fine. A little disappointed, I said, “Oh. I got strawberry,” at which point, she lit up like a redneck’s backyard on the 4th of July and said something along the lines of, “OH! I didn’t know you were that serious. Yes. YES. Strawberry. That’s GOOD.”

In essence, she approved. So I made like I was her and she was campaigning for the strawberry icing, and I said, “I’m Whitney Chambers, and I approved this icing.”

Well I thought it was funny, but suddenly, she got kind of upset and said, “No! You’re NOT Whitney Chambers.” I think at that point she was still kidding around because OBVIOUSLY I wasn’t actually claiming to be her. I was just imitating her as a politician with a campaign promise of icing. But then Will jumped in and said, “I’m Whitney Chambers. And I approved this icing.”

And then the people sitting immediately beside us chimed in one by one, “I’m Whitney Chambers…” until the folks at the other end of the table, with NO CLUE as to why we were all claiming to be Whitney Chambers, also claimed to be Whitney Chambers.

She did not approve of this.

But now, (maybe? hopefully?) she thinks it’s funny, and Lauren and I want to have some t-shirts made up that say “I’m Whitney Chambers” on the front and “and I approved this icing” on the back. Who wants one?
