All I have to say is, “We all float down here…”

Esprix-my FAVORITE SK novel…
“Beep beep, Richie!”
Ewwwwwwww! ::chilly bumps::
Definitely his scariest book.
One of my faves, but tied for 1st are The Shining and The Talisman.
Yeah like in the Shining where the story Jack is working on gets twisted around…
My guess? It was Cujo. That would be poetic justice…Smith getting slaughtered by the dog who helped to lead to SK’s getting run over…
LOVE The Talisman, what a great book. It was good too but The Talisman was just so entertaining.
How come no one’s mentioned Pet Sematary! The scariest, creepiest book he’s ever written! SK says he doesn’t like to read it because it even scares him. It has great mood and it does feel different from his other ones…it just has this mood, you know? OK, maybe that’s not being too descriptive 
But you know what i’m talking about if you’ve read it. It’s not your normal book, I don’t think. So who else has read it?
I’ve read Pet Sem. Twice.
I think it was Randall Flagg.
(I’ve always prefered The Stand myself. That and the Darktower series of course.)
Stephen King did buy the van the guy was driving.
Who better than SK to deliver voodoo justice?
Ah yes, when I write the definitive biography of the man, it’s going to be titled “Misery’s Thinner.”
Here are two articles from the Bangor Daily News:
Driver who hit King dies at 43
“King ‘sorry to hear’ of death” in which it is said Smith was “looking forward to getting his driver’s license back in January.” Now that is scary.
My favorite is The Stand. I’m looking forward to Talisman II next year. I can’t wait for Book 5, though. It’s been a long time coming. And, yes, I liked Dolores Claiborne, of course!
We have an abundance of SK names. Damn. I shoulda made my Shining, or something…there’s gonna be a Talisman II? I haven’t even read the first! -though I do own it.
Also i have to get around to finishing Insomnia because I have started it 2x and then stopped midway or 3/4 through…i liked what i read though.
My friend really loves The Stand. I think its good, i don’t love it like some people do but its alright. 
The autopsy report has finally been released. Bryan Smith died of an accidental overdose of an opiate-based prescription painkiller. See this Portland Press Herald news story.
[hijack] Here’s an Onion article most of you have probably already read. If you haven’t though, enjoy. [/hijack]
There’s something here I don’t understand.
"died from an overdose of fentanyl…It is administered through a patch over a three-day period.
Fentanyl can cause the user’s breathing to slow to the point of death if too much is taken."
So tell me, how does a person “take too much” of a patch? Did he eat a handful? Paste half a dozen on various parts of his body?
Or did the patch itself spontaneously overdose him? :eek: Maybe it was the perfect last chapter of this particular King story - if a car can avenge someone, why not a dermal patch? Maybe the patch started glowing and speaking in a devil voice before administering the lethal dose - no one would ever know the truth about those last horrifying moments as the man cowered in his recliner, gasping in terror!! 
Okay, not to make fun of tragic death (well, okay, making a little fun), but seriously: If he was just wearing a patch for which he was the intended recipient (i.e. not a dosage calculated for someone else twice his size, etc,) and thus using it in the prescribed fashion, doesn’t it bode ominously for the patch’s manufacturer in re: lawsuit - not to mention anyone else using this drug, or any other transdermal medication?
Mildly alarmed (mainly by that Posessed Patch idea; who knows what my seemingly innocuous Tylenol may be plotting when I’m out of the room?), but primarily just curious (since I don’t use any patch drugs). Any of you medical types have any insight? Or is this one of those questions that sounds incredibly stupid and obvious to everyone but me?
The guy was obviuously bright. If anybody could figure out how to overdose on a patch, he could.
