Shit, I screwed this up, never mind…
The Oregon question is awesome, thanks! just what I was looking for to get me through 12 hours at my desk on a sunday.
I was able to answer all questions so far without the internet, but quickly bailed on this one. I found the table of contents from Night Shift, (thanks for the hint!) but damn I remember all those stories an oregon does not ring a bell in any of them. I want to guess Trucks, but don’t think that’s right. I am the dooway is set in Florida’s space coast, and most of the others are in Maine.
So my guess if The Boogyman, if only because it’s a rather generic setting and might have been the Pacific Northwest.
I believe out of season hurricanes are “Alices”
You are correct sir!
FYI, have you ever heard that term besides in the novel?
Name the brand of soda the Ka-Tet finds.
What was the the name of the operation the father was headed to on Mars in The Jaunt?
I cheated, but here’s the story set in Oregon. It’s not in the Night Shift collection, btw.
You Know They Got a Hell of a Band
I thought it was in California or some such, but apparently not.
Nozz-ola
“longer than you think, Dad!”…the father worked for Texaco Water and was being transferred to the mars facility
I couldda sworn California for that story too! let’s see if it’s available to read…
found it! yup, Rock and Roll Heaven is in Oregon. Nice one!
No, Revtim, I have never heard the term “alice” in that context before. I assume it’s fictional, but I’ve never been in an out of season hurricane. here in wormtown we see very few in season ones too
Yupp! (I actually CG modeled a can of Nozz-ola a while back, I’ll see if I can find it)
Yupp! . . . but, Texaco Water had a name for the Operation Mark Oates was going to be working on. The name of that Operation was what I was looking for.

In The Eyes of the Dragon, what does Peter use to escape his imprisonment?
“Derry is [blank] and [blank] is Derry.”
In On Writing, what does King compare adverbs to?
In The Eyes of the Dragon, Peter made a rope out of something…I remember a dollhouse…was it a rug?
For fun, here’s some concept art I did for an adaptation of The Jaunt I was hoping to one day take on. Can’t do it now, as it was pulled from his “Dollar Baby” program. Ahh well.
Couldn’t find the Nozz-ola art. Must be on my old machine.
Ohhh. Close. You remembered the dollhouse correctly. Not a rug, but something he’d receive over and over for countless days.
Dinner napkin 
oooohh cmykthese are getting hard…I’m cheating now by skimming the jaunt online…
Operation Straw!
Yep, Kooper was the “musical director”–charged with with the task of whipping the Remainders into some kind of shape. King dedicated **Insomnia **to Kooper, saying “For Tabby and for Al Kooper, who knows the playing-field. No fault of mine.”
Also, Kooper is an author; he wrote Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards.
well, I remember he doesn’t like adverbs. use them sparingly, he tells us, and get rid of them when editing. but what did he compare them to?
and I don’t like this answer, but “Derry is Bangor?” nah, that aint it
They were heading to Whitehead City, but I don’t remember an operational name. The first water-harvesting trip to Mars was called “Operation Straw”, but that was mentioned in a historical context and I don’t think the same name was given to the one Oates and his family were heading to. Toughy.
Single strands plucked from his napkins, woven on the tiny loom in his mother’s dollhouse into a slender rope.
It.
Haven’t read this one yet, shamefully.
My turn…
**Q: **What was the name of the baby killed by his 5-year-old brother, who was in turn killed by a swarm of flying leeches?
Q: What did Gertie do to Norman, as a ‘message’ from Rose, in “Rose Madder” that so enraged him?
Welcome to the party belladonna. Ya you got the Derry line. I’m so stooopid that should have been an easy one.
But you did throw a gimme my way! Dirty Gertie pissed all over Normans face! :eek:
