  I've heard them all. "Hey, when's your next book coming out? ", "Where's your dog, Cujo? " and "What are you doing here at Denny's with the kind of money you're making?". The only fun I get is when I have to give my name for something. When I have to check my name against the list. You know, THE list. The list is so no one can gain easy entry to the... to the... Well, trust me, it's very important that the people who aren't on the list don't get in.
So I say it backwards. i.e. King, Steven. I love the look they get. Like a dog who hears something odd on the other side of the door. They look up from their important document. Stare for a second-- (insert quip here. You can chose from the samples above or use your own) And I'm on my way. Sometimes I look back to make sure they aren't licking themselves or sniffing the butts of the long line of stiffs behind me. All of them waiting to give their beautifully unfamiliar names. All hoping they're on the list. Steven King
