Whose that Stephen guy? And why does he think he's a king. Is this some new alpha male tag thing?

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

He probably eats livers. I’ve heard about kings doing that to get swole.

Not sure if the joke is the guy not recognizing Stephen King, or him not knowing his own books cause he was high out of his mind when he wrote them.

I knew that Stephen King was a writer, not that one of the books he'd written was The Stand, but would have if I'd read it. And I could assume given the circumstances.

Early in his career he wrote several books under a pen name. Not sure if The Stand is one of them but that could be why

This reminds me of Vonnegut in Back to School

I fucking loved that bit. Dangerfield and Vonnegut together just made me happy :)
