Is He Mitchum, Mike or Michael LaRose?

A classified joke dossier investigating the LaRose Phenomenon: one man, three names, and a naming convention that shifts based on a single variable — concurrent romantic entanglements.

Mitchum — Phase 1

The code name. Deployed strictly for incognito operations. Girlfriends: 0–1. Threat level: minimal.

Mike — Phase 2

The phonetic smokescreen. A man with no time for syllables. Girlfriends: 2–3. Threat level: elevated.

Michael — Phase 3

The full formal designation — and the ego to match. Girlfriends: 4+. Threat level: critical mass.
