Without any warning, MP today cleared his throat for the HIVE. On the one hand, I'm excited to see "him" stepping up, spELLEN and all, in a logical next development to make our imaginary world real. On the other hand, he is still just about the Fooeyist of all FOOEY MEN, and even Ellen stands firm that no male chauvinist bald-head-buffers are welcome on Corporette. Yet as I remarked earlier, I was kind of waiting for this to happen, and surprised that it took this long. In a way, it's just too obvious, especially since Ellen once mentioned that she suspects MP reads her comments on Corporette.
I do see some long-term potential here, but the poster better be an assiduous ELLENWatcher with an uncanny feel for MP's character. I also wager it will work better if Manageing Partner appears only rarely, perhaps each time being weeks or months after we all assume he has quit. The most intrusive tyrants in our humdrum lives lurk unsuspected, needling into us at the times when we're least prepared, and in areas of our being where they are most foreign. Accordingly, I say: fair enough, sir. But I challenge you to a masterly evocative performance of this long-established persona in the absolute minimum amount of text. If nothing else, remember that your character is extraordinarily important, busy, curmudgeonly, and in demand, and he perfers to spend his free time ooogleing the women in his presence rather than writing to others unseen on this websight. But if not even that, remember that everything I say with any degree of seriousness drips with irony given the nature of our subject, and that the only mantle I can claim in Ellen-world is Person Who Wastes The Most Time.
DO YOU!

P.S. Perhaps we will find out later whether Ellen's silence for the rest of today was simply because she lost her LAN connection, or whether she was scared straight by this cameo performance.
Get back to work, Ellen, or I will not raise your clotheing allowance!

I’ve always been astonished that this never happened before. She’s in Nashville right now, but still plausibel.

Interesting but you missed one in the 9/25 coffee break from Ellen herself. BTW wo is Laura anyway? We only care about Ellen and her clothing allowance. We may go to our own MP for similar treatment. Keep up the commentary. We are now concerned about Harold.
