Mr. Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian Catholic-American cyber-homeschool teacher, returned to his New England alma mater campus social house, the Gate, where he planned (now!) to make special college-athletics trading-cards referenced educational image-storyboards about mod-Earthling IQ for sportsmanship/networks linked globalism-rhetoric for peace talk in the new 21st-Century of terrorism-inventions for terrorism and infrastructure worry (ok!).



STUDENT: Sir, these football (Irish Notre Dame) cards are Earth rhetoric for now?
MR. SATAN: Sure is, Mister Student...and coincides with Euro-invites to the NFL.
STUDENT: I did note those Euro-invitations to American football teams, for arts.
MR. SATAN: It's a new market, Mister Student...requires imagination of contests.
STUDENT: The risen China has replaced the Soviet Union in ways, no, sir?
MR. SATAN: Yes; Russia's criticized invasion of Ukraine is Hell for the ISS, you know.
STUDENT: What's the ISS, sir?
MR. SATAN: International Space Station, and it's a Selfie-time of Earth's bread.
STUDENT: Facebook-like!



Mr. Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian Catholic-American cyber-homeschool teacher of things of college-football cards image referenced globe-peace rhetoric representations on the cyber-grid of the 21st-Century (modern) Earth, thought about the deep-IQ concerning social activity linked exchange languages for nations-handshakes and profit-sharing symbolism questions of value-intelligence for politics options know for bread/fruit and capitalism 'linked' knucklebones (e.g., World Bank, OPEC, ESPN, Al Jazeera TV, etc., etc.). For this new century of activity oriented storytelling for news/fiction, college-football cards seemed to 'catch' much ghost-magic of troubles of the heart (for leviathan/uncertainty!).



READER: Evil Elf, pal?
MR. SATAN: Consumerism shopping complex traffic parody-doodle ('avatar'), ha.
READER: What's this to do with Notre Dame football cards, pal?
MR. SATAN: Hey, the Cleveland Browns are to play Euro-field art in season-'25, ok.
READER: Diamonds are forever (Facebook-like).
