Whatever! I was seriously spastic. He was already chubby, so he was probably flattered. Chubby or not, he's Captain Kirk to me!

You!..... Name your own price!..... with Priceline!...:P
Yeah right, Rob! I suspect you laugh AT me often, but I'm okay with that:-D
If you're ever stuck in an elevator with himself, or manage to "meet him by accident" (involving months of plans) -- Ask him "have you read?------ (mention very, very good book or film)- maybe "Let the Right One In" --I guarantee you that is that BEST conversation starter EVER!!Becky -- plot, plot like mad!!! and MEET Joe Hill, then tell us all about it!!
I will do my best. I'll plan, and try to think of witty stuff to say, and write great book titles on the palm of my hand so that I can surreptitiously peek and then bring the conversation around smoothly to those books and discuss them like a pro, and then soon we'll be laughing, and talking like old friends, me, the wit and wonder of the signing line, Joe admiring my uncanny ability to say exactly the right thing...Right. I'll open my mouth with those intentions in mind, and what will come out will be "I like book. You write book. I like you. O_O" and then there will be an awkward silence that stretches out too long. And then he'll glance at security... And then he'll sign my book, "To crazy lady: The restraining order's in the mail. 300 feet = perfection! ~ JOE"
And it will be the greatest day of my life. :D
haha Becky...too funny. Wish I could go to a signing. Right now I'd settle for being able to get back on Joe Hill's website. Isn't working for me for some reason..Anywho..off topic :)
Becky -- that was SO funny because it was all too accurate. When faced with someone we truly admire, all the rest of us plebes are usually struck totally dumb!

Love this!
if we were in a hospital....We have to find a way to help poor Mary Jensen...I can hear her crying in here.
Actually - probably music -- he loves music passionately
I would tell him that he is one of my greatest inspirations (I wanna be a writer) if he can tell me a bit more of a writing process. I would also discuss books with him and say that his goods are really good.
I would probably blush and not say anything. I'm pretty shy and he's an amazing writer.
I would thank him for getting me started on my real love of reading with Pet Sematary.
I would probably puke due to being so nervous! Not a very good introduction.

-Am I wearing a clown suit?
-Is he going to show me that he does indeed have the mind of a small child ..."
omg Mike how freaking funny!I have to agree with you on the clown suit~that would be a total downer!For my reaction I would honestly have to say I really don't know what I would actually do?I imagine I would be so awestruck that I would initally be mute and not be able to do a thing but stare at him and try to muster up the courage to at least say hello first.I know I would at sometime definately get his autograph, then if we were stuck a long time I would hope he would talk a bit as well,getting the ball rolling so to speak.I normally am pretty shy so this would be a very traumatic event,but an exciting one!so who knows~maybe I would be the one that babbles,drools and farts non-stop for 20 minutes!
1. Gush and squeal like a friggin' twelve year old.2. I would very politely ask him to write me into one of his future novels; preferably as a tough, great one-line, monster butt-kicker. (i sound like a dweeb because i am)
3. Ask him to sign The Talisman while having our picture taken in front of his home.
(of course, he would let me ride in his car with him.. :P)
First I'd be like, this sucks. And then I'd ask him if he wants a stick of gum or something. Then I would hope we'd spark some small talk. That would be about it I gather.
I am your biggest fan Mr. King. Now please tell me your not writing a book about being stuck in an elevator with me because I have read your books and unless I am very lucky, odds aren't very good for me to get out of here in one piece..... nervous chuckle....oh and one other thing before whatever "it" may be that is coming and I hope its the repair guy. I loved the dark tower series but I got some question about the ending which to avoid spoilers I will not elaborate here....
Me: Hey what if this thing broke down with us in it...HOW AWFUL WOULD THAT BE???!!!!! You should make a book about it....Stephen: *Pushing button repetitively*
Me: I'm like a huge fan of yours...I just got into reading your books but still huge fan love the movie's that they were made into
Stephen: *Pushing the button even harder*
Me: Dude wouldn't it be cool if you made a book on this thing breaking down wouldn't it be awesome if it was the best best-seller you ever had you could thank me in your acceptance speech when it would win awards and stuff
Stephen: *Doors open and walks away quickly*
Me: *Waving* NICE MEETING YOU MR. KING
Ah story of my life....I ramble about nothing and people just ignore me and walk away

Bahahaha.... :D
If SK got stuck in an elevator, just think of the story that would come of it!
I don't know if King would want to talk about his books, or hear about how great he is. That tends to make some celebrities uncomfortable! lol. I would let him lead the conversation, talk about what he wants to talk about. The conversation would be interesting, maybe even a little creepy! lol
Marc-antoine wrote: "My annoying flatulence problem"Remind me not to get stuck in elevator with you :)
I would discuss his new novel with him. That would be interesting.
I have to share this story because it represents how so many people get tongue tied and star-struck around celebrities. When in Monterey, California I stopped in to a Clint Eastwood restaurant called the Hog's Breath Inn for lunch. Clint came in and everyone sort of froze up, and he left. One woman regained her senses, grabbed a menu and ran outside after him.
When she came back we all wanted to hear what happened. "I ran up to him and asked for his autograph on the menu, and he said Who should I make this out to?" Me! Me! she said. Her results?
To me, Clint Eastwood!
If I recognized him, though I probably wouldn't...I would ask if he gets any inspiration from his dreams...
I got to meet him and Joe HIll @ new york comic con last year and it was awesome. I asked Mr. king about his dark tower books and Mr. hill about LOCKE & KEY. which I thought should've been picked up as a tv series and not that aweful alcatraz.
I would ask him if anyone has approached him about making Under the Dome into a movie. I think, if done right that it could make a great movie, or even mini series.
I would take the opportunity to yell at him for always killing off my favorite characters in his novels! (Just kidding)In all seriousness I would just thank him for inspiring me to write. I don't write horror but he is one of my literary heroes.

Hmmm...I'd say I read Survivor Type, then ask him which part of him is tastiest when it comes to cannibalism!
I have no idea. Maybe I'd just tell him that his books are amazing. I met him once but we didn't talk. He was signing books in ny. He was so nice though.
He should re-write Pet Sematary. A version where Gage doesn't get run over by the truck.
Emma wrote: "I'd ask him 'how the hell do we get out of this lift?'!"lol true... and without breaking a nail :P lol
First I would say hi and introduce myself. Then I would ask for a signed autograph...on anything, since I always carry a pen in my pocketbook. As we waited to be "rescued", since I live in MA and have vacationed many times in Maine and NH, I would also talk about living in New Enland. Hell, if the conversation lingers after, I'd take him out for a drink! lol
