A Card: Earth's (American) Shoot

Can a baseball card yield 'expression' for what's American/Earthling clarities of wrought cleats for hubby-wife justified margins?

I found a cool thought. I found it after I got myself a cool American baseball card in Windy-City time. The card featured a very respected athlete who shined (rightly!) in two very different sports, enough for fans like me to recreate his fantastic abilities in video-games for baseball/football (wow). The card was made by Upper Deck, one of the great sports fanfare companies of Earth (wow). I found a cool thought; and I felt like a Selfie-age diplomat now. Follow along.



READER: Thanx for the share, pal.
ME: You're reading my words right, reader...this double-sport celeb is American!
READER: Well, I wonder what kind of video-games strike you best, pal.
ME: Well, reader...football video-games have become quite a crystal-vanity.
READER: Me thinks you're versed in (American) rich-history in baseball-cyber IQ.
ME: Maybe you're right, reader...this double-sport athlete (card) is all jam.
READER: It might move you to some charm conversation with an investor-lady.
ME: Facebook-like (maybe)...thanx.



EZZY: I want your Upper Deck trophy, friend.
ME: Why's that, lady?
EZZY: Invest in social collections of American culture commentary, friend!
ME: I'll sell you this original-print item for 1K and a dinner-date for Halloween.
EZZY: Halloween.
ME: It's my fave-holiday...you might like me...I made $15M on Wall-St. (2009).
EZZY: Lemme guess...Ford (Wall-St.).
ME: We'd make some nifty capitalist anime fiction work (cyber) together.
EZZY: Selfie-like.



Ezzy and I got married; I found her to be the perfect investor-lady of wits and wit; and she loved my double-sport celeb athlete (Upper Deck) card. However, after we got married, declaring the American baseball-card was a (shared) treasure for insurance/fanfare, we became increasingly...and eerily competitive with each other for it. I got us a toy-gun which we took turns making target-contest games during the baseball season; and we took furious stat-notes on who was up on target/aim counts to see who'd get the card for the game view (damn). She started making bad jokes, "If you die, then you leave the Upper Deck card in your will, and I become Cinderella." Damn, I never thought a simple sports-fanfare card image would make for stranger marriage-jam (for man-woman hellmouth). Was this an American dream?
