"Friends, an eerie nihilist Martian spying on our Earth culture of 21st-Century Selfie qualia things of sports-windows and commerce-exchanges and TV-lifestyle commentary and things of inter-national competition 'IQ' contacted me by email, insisting I had become a special Western Earth (American) football sports trading-card 'prince' of things of competition and customs-flowery representation, wishing to inquire of my intuition of one of my cards, a 20th-Century Vikings QB-card trophy...perhaps for a capitalist cinema know (for the Ego)."



MARTIAN: This card featuring the Vikings-QB is of an athlete who had no Bowl.
ME: Yes, that's right, Mister Alien...Fran Tarkenton never won a Lombardi-trophy!
MARTIAN: Well, I noted through spy-beam your cyber-story about this card is art.
ME: Yes, yes, that's right, Mister Alien...the Tarkenton-card I own is (all) magic!
MARTIAN: Why such magic cleats adjective for an athlete without a trophy-image?
ME: Good read, Mister Alien...Tarkenton never won a Bowl, but he was offense-IQ.
MARTIAN: IQ, prince?
ME: Yes, that's right, Mister Alien...my Vikings-QB card is a 'trophy' (offense-kiln).
MARTIAN: So, you've become a story-man of a QB of no Bowl but (all) know (ok).
ME: You may say I've become a diplomat-messenger for things of knowing (yes!).
MARTIAN: Facebook-like (eh?)...fine, farewell (happy writing for keratin), prince.
ME: Thanx (I guess).



"Friends, I'd found a special 'rich' reading for my quite-special Vikings-QB trading-card 'trophy' image that this spying nihilist Martian who contacted me via email wished to measure for 'examination-hyperbole' of my sports-Earth Selfie modern time and age of things of customs and competition representation 'flowery' for the know-all things of American football knit(s)...for leviathan/uncertainty! Sure, Fran Tarkenton, Hall of Fame caliber QB-athlete, marshaled a fantastic Minnesota-team offense of immaculate-magic despite never winning a Super Bowl and despite reaching 3 whopping Super Bowl championships (wow). Tarkenton was simply a Vikings-QB of conference-champions level marvels. The Martian (therefore) marked me as a sports-windows/culture 'prince' of Selfie 'things' of...kinesthesia (ok)."



WAITRESS: Very-fine football card on your table, friend.
ME: Thanx...a Martian asked me about it.
WAITRESS: Ha, that's Xmas-laugh, friend (ok).
ME: I ain't lying, lady...I got myself a fancy watch to toast it.
WAITRESS: Right...even Martians like the Vikings, eh?
ME: Facebook-like (for know).
