Gypsy-Raider(s): Islander-Drink

A diorama-'parody' about encounter with a 'phantom-giant' of media involving treasure-gift(s) and commercial...draw(s)!

A parody of celebrity-world power(s) and 'darkness' in modern traffic detective commerce, inspired very loosely by The Limey (Terence Stamp). Hope you like,

My name's Amlan Satan, and I'm a 'gypsy' merchant from Eastern Europe and consider a prized Tavares ice-hockey card as one of the greatest 'mementos' of Western civilization, which is why I'm trying to sell it to the incredible Western celebrity Tom Hanks, star of Road to Perdition.

You see, I'm dating a stunt-double actress who worked as an understudy to the celebrity-thespian who appeared in a Hanks-film recently, which is how this network-IQ tale came to inception.

I'm to go to Hanks' 'immaculate' mansion-estate in So-Cali and offer my bid to see what he'd be willing to trade for my incredible merchant Tavares ice-hockey Islanders-card in the United States.

He's made some pretty amazing films, and one film which seems like an 'allegory' of Robinson Crusoe would remind you why this Western 'star' has been likened to the media-rendition of Citizen Kane.

I'll be taking (in-fact) a copy of the Defoe classic to his mansion-estate as I present myself as a merchant-diplomat with an established commercial meeting 'arranged' by his commerce agent, Philip Rivers. I'm to offer him multiple items alongside the Tavares card to see what he'd be willing to trade in exchange, in his great/probable Western 'treasure(s)' collection!

Now, I've traveled all around the world and made a fortune. I invested in Ford in the 2009 market-crash when the company was at $1/share, and when it soared to $15/share, my princely-inherited assets jumped. I invested in Air India and met a gorgeous stewardess and dated her for a while, before I met the stunt-double actress of the celebrity-thespian who appeared alongside in a 'symbolic' Hanks film about globalism-commerce/traffic in the post-9/11 era!

So, here's the 'faerie-tale' of note. I get to the Hanks-area in my Galant (car) with my media-industry buddy Leo who's serving as a negotiation liaison for this meeting of treasure-exchange arranged by the Hanks-PR consumerism office for a 'fair-trade' posting for society chatter about capitalism valuables in the eBay-age.

HANKS: You dated Sheryl Crow, man?
ME: Yeah, I met her at the Ivy League; I also dated a gypsy-woman I'm sure you never met.

HANKS: I knew Crow from a Cruise-film about sports-dollars (or something!).

ME: Sounds cool.

My media-industry liaison (Leo) is along for this trade-exchange 'adventure' and I present my wallet-photo of my stunt-double actress girlfriend who worked as an understudy to the thespian-celeb who appeared in a Hanks-film when I offer my Tavares-card for something he owns of considerable value for a media-commerce social 'posting' about fair-trade intrigue in this eBay-era involving real-life investors immersed in the Western 'world' of treasure storytelling.

HANKS: Ooh, I love that Skyfire robot-plane toy you've brought with you, man!

ME: Yeah, it's one of my favorite things; I didn't think you'd be into 'mechanical' aviation objects, good sir.

HANKS: Maybe I am; I do like your Tavares card; you're a 'traveled/versed' gypsy-man/merchant, I can wager!

ME: That's cool.

Finally, the media-giant brings out this amazing Irish-Indian custom-made jewelry-set worth over $10M, since it was made by joint-figures/diplomats in Belfast-Bombay building 'commerce' bridges for post-independence consumerism 'ideation(s)' about treasure-themed media 'talk' and offers to gift me that in exchange for my Tavares card. I show him my wallet-photo of my stunt-double girlfriend-actress who worked as the understudy to the thespian-celeb who worked in a Hanks-film as I 'chuckle' with Hanks and wager his jewelry-offer is made in jest (as a token of friendship/diplomacy). However, he looks me square in the face and says, "I ain't joking...I want your Tavares card...and one weekend with your beautiful understudy-gal, to see if I might 'win' her heart (away from you!) as a wager between gentlemen as a 'caveat' to this treasure-negotiation posting-meeting in the So-Cali, good man!" I'm shocked. I get up, or rather jump up, with my media-industry buddy (Leo) who came to the Hanks mansion with me and inform him, "I can't afford the jewelry/Tavares exchange or the girlfriend-bridge wager, regardless of the 'jest' value(s) in this gesture, Sir Hanks, but I can promise you one thing...celebrities sure do love a 'good' date!"

INTERVIEW: So, this guy, the media-giant, offered you a wager-offer in the 'jest' of pure treasure-power(s)?

ME: It was as if I was negotiating (suddenly/shockingly) with a powerful warlock and felt totally humbled!

INTERVIEW: What'd you do?
ME: I ended up making a replica of his jewelry-set he offered and posted that it was a 'Hanks-exchange' for media!

INTERVIEW: You never saw him again?

ME: All I can really say is...I'm just grateful the Tavares-meeting went without a 'hitch' in So-Cali.

INTERVIEW: The lesson(s) learned, Mr. Gypsy?
ME: Never underestimate the good humor(s) of a Western celebrity 'giant' of treasure-disparity.
