UPI - ICOTW*, CT: In a stunning turn of the tables, Mixelflick bewildered Corporate America today at 3PM, Eastern Standard Time. A mere 15 minutes into the scheduled 1 hour showdown, Mix suddenly put their future in doubt.
*Insurance Capital of The World
Upon entering the building, Mix noticed all the players were in place for the apocolypse he had predicted. He then used the ensuing hours to execute his master plan. Phase one unfolded quickly - he informed the management team he was expecting an important phone call later that day.
Knowing this would be war, Mix prepared intensely by studying the first 15 seconds of the following video: Hulk Hogan entering a frenzied MSG to defeat the Iron Sheik:

Mix wants you to watch the first 15 seconds of this video. 15 sec. is all that he asks to set the table for what follows...
Just prior to the meeting, Mix slid into the men's room to rehearse this 3 times; just like he does prior to PR his attempts
Notice how Hogan goes deep inside himself, oblivious to the outside world. So did Mix - until he looked up into the full length mirror and saw one of the aforementioned players standing there! Mix wouldn't disclose his name but he's an HR Flunkie and his initials are Mark Fipps.Fipps was visibly disturbed, and beat a hasty exit....undoubtedly reporting back to the management team what was coming. Mix returned to his desk. Shortly after 3PM, his phone rang. He was then summoned to a conference room...
Oscillating wildly between Mixelflick and his former Corporate alter-ego The Franchise, he delivered exactly what they were hoping for; a defensive diatribe riddled with all the ammo they needed to deliver the following message. "We're sorry it's come to this, but we're going to have to put you on 60 day warning".
He then melted back in his chair, into an extremely relaxed body language position. Then whisperd softly only the following words;
"I understand..."
Management was bewildered...
Mix then pressed a button on his cell phone and wouldn't you know it, his wife texted him from the hospital! Mix then gathered his things to leave when the mindless middle manager involed asked, "Wait, can we at least count on you for 1st quater 2011"?
Mix shot back, "My wife is in the hospital and you're worried about my caseload"?.
And with that, he was gone.....
UPDATE: Oh my, if management wasn't Mix'd up before, they sure are now. Why? Because just moments after disappearing into the darkness, The Franchise(tm) re-appeared!
Recall how Franchise injected his fast acting, aqueous suspension-like alter ego into the meeting above? Well, it appears he's back!! The big question for "them" now looms ominously: What to do now?
Mix may or may not be on warning, but what of The Franchise? Who will show up tomorrow? Next week? Mix or The Franchise?? I'm afraid the rabbit hole just got deeper, my friends. I just called both of them and asked who was showing up for work tomorrow?
Both of them said they were!!
Wow. I hope they don't switch off at lunch. Or worse, morph/criss-cross each other during a visit to see their mutual customer...
