Medusa, underworld snake-deity of hypnosis representing the dark-side of the mental will for focus/obsession, wished to visit a 21st-Century (modern Earth) prince of cyber-commentary concerning consumerism lifestyle and fast-food and TV-sports culture convenience in the Western world (American Homeland) and knew the prince of mark (Mr. Amlan Satan), a Slovak-Algerian Bostonian-Catholic immigrant/citizen/capitalist, didn't know she was an actual/real deity-being and not simply a mythology statue for leviathan/uncertainty (Selfie-like).



Amlan Satan, Wall Street investor and sports-writer and fast-food consumerism life conveniences fan of sorts, had been blogging liberally now about an iconic '92 "Snow Bowl" media sports (American college football) window for TV-comment, a Notre Dame and Penn State pronounced-rivalry game/event on Earth. The game, a December '92 snow-field rich close-scoreline stunner that came down to the final-moments of the game of late-period heroics/turnaround, yielded a 17-16 Irish win following a post-touchdown 2-pt. conversion thriller (wow). Americans were more-or-less divided 50/50 for fan-following of Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Penn State Nittany Lions football rivalry 'stuff' of commentary. The game could've gone either way, in-favor either team; and both teams boasted legendary coaches on that snow-day trumpeting skillful QB-marshals seeking to achieve/keep a score-gain for day-win laurels in the American Homeland. Amlan Satan considered such TV-windows access to student-competition access/life a reflection of Western/American/Earthling 'chandeliers' for jellybeans (Facebook-like!).



MEDUSA: I rather like these Irish-Lions '92 snow-writes about your fanfare/world.
SATAN (Amlan): Thanx...but I'm unsure of what to make of this secret email.
MEDUSA: You doubt I'm the mythology-cast snake-deity of hypnosis, prince man?
SATAN: I didn't think you were real, but maybe you're simply a curious investor.
MEDUSA: You're a fan of fried-chicken, fast-food baked potatoes, Saturday-TV.
SATAN: You've been following my cyber-posts, snake-lady?
MEDUSA: That '92 "Snow Bowl" would've gone the way of the Lions that December!
SATAN: I was enjoying some cheeseburgers while writing about a social media IQ.
MEDUSA: American lifestyle is convenience/culture geared for TV-light, prince.
SATAN: You're intrigued for your personage as a hypnosis-messenger for fortune.
MEDUSA: That's a fair person-evaluation for us for this cyber-inquiry, Satan.
SATAN: My 'devilish' surname is simply a Slovak-Algerian common/folk signature.
MEDUSA: I've made mark of you, Mr. Satan, as media/capitalism diplomat, ok.
SATAN: So what's the question (for American TV/potatoes)?
MEDUSA: You lived in Philly (Penn-St. area) and cheered Irish football as Catholic.
SATAN: So?
MEDUSA: Given the 50/50 populous interest in Irish-Lions rivalry, it's life-cubed.
SATAN: Consumerism and TV and commentary/pillows is an Earthling jar, ok.
MEDUSA: That '92 "Snow Bowl" could've gone either-way that December-day, no?
SATAN: Yes...it really felt like a 50/50 coin-toss (for the Ego!).
MEDUSA: Weird...leviathan/uncertainty (Selfie-like).



SATAN: So, I've generated a game-day storyboard 'mascot-avatar' character here.
MEDUSA: It's offbeat and iconic, prince-man, some glider-pumpkin touted goblin.
SATAN: I've called it the Skywayman for that Snow Bowl's life/culture spring, ha.
MEDUSA: You would've been crushed had Notre Dame lost that day.
SATAN: Both teams were coached in art-form; the Irish-QB sprang a late-jump!
MEDUSA: Imagine you tinker in-choice between two fast-food joints on Saturday.
SATAN: Like, "I might get a cheeseburger here or french-fries there for sports-TV."
MEDUSA: Life's 50/50; and your capitalist-society is one of invention(s)?
SATAN: Yes, I made a wage in the '09 Wall-St. mini-crash (Ford); it skyrocketed.
MEDUSA: Ford jumped from $1-15/share in just one year (damn).
SATAN: It was a great capitalist moment for me (chance-flip).
MEDUSA: You can see your commerce/football 'culture' is one of jellybeans.
SATAN: So...this concerns an omen of avatar-jeans for lifestyle-jellybeans.
MEDUSA: Do not take consumerism light; it yields hypnosis of muscle (for brains!).
SATAN: Thanx...medicine's shout (farewell).
MEDUSA: Godspeed, for your Skywayman's glider-pumpkin goblin (for fan-bias).
SATAN: Weird (Selfie-like).
